Help choosing paint colour/s for hallway and landing space

Helen Elliott

Hi,

I'm trying to decide on a colour or colours for my hallway and landing space. There is a dado rail separating the space so could potentially do one colour below and another above. I've considered a dark grey/blue below and brilliant white all above, but have seen quite a few pictures of hallways where they have used the same colour above and below which looks great. I'm just worried about making the space too dark. I'm also not sure about using brilliant white - will it create too much of a contrast? It gets a decent amount of light from the landing window but isn't flooded with light. Ive attached some pics of the space and also some of the ideas I like the look of...any advice greatly appreciated!

    I'd go for light above if you don't have loads of natural southern light coming in. Could easily end up being very gloomy.

      Thank you - very useful decorating tool you have! We would keep the ceiling white up until it bends above the stairs, but I definitely see your point and agree going light above would be better. thank you!

      Hi Helen,

      What a beautiful hallway space you have with lots of
      original features. I would recommend painting the whole of the wall (above and
      below your dado rail) in the same colour. Dulux Grey Steel 2, from our Amazing
      Space Paint range is a lovely, soft calming grey, which will not make your
      hallway seem dark, but will retain a light and airy feel. I’d go for the
      durable finish in matt as it’s fantastic in hallway spaces, as it is
      hardwearing and you can wipe away any marks without removing the colour. Below
      is the link to see what you think:

      I would keep your ceiling, dado rail and woodwork in white
      to add extra brightness and freshness to the space. If you still want to go
      with a different colour above and below your dado rail, you could choose to go
      with a darker grey below the rail-such as Grey Steel 1, and a lighter version
      of the same palette using Grey Steel 2 or 3 above the rail. This way you will
      not get such a stark contrast between the grey and the white. To visualise what
      this would look like in your hallway, why not download our Visualiser App,
      where you can photograph your space and drop colours in to see how this looks
      in real life. It’s free and really easy to use, just click on the link below to
      find out more and download:

      Good luck with the decorating, and if you need any further
      help, just let me know.

      Best wishes,

      Funnily enough, ive just painted my dark Edwardian hall/landing in similar colours - brilliant white on ceiling above dado and dado rail, and Dulux Coastal Grey below the dado. Its really brightened it up and Im really pleased with it. Ive attacheda couple of pics.

      Wow your hallway looks great mcpeeple - thanks so much for the inspiration. Currently testing out a Valspar colour so going to see how that looks at different times of the day. It's no easy task choosing paint!!

      Hi, I'm currently going through the same issue, Trying to find the right combo of paints to paint the hallway. I am looking to panel the part beneath the dado to prevent the ever so frustrating scuffing which occurs at sharp corners and am unsure on the colour combo.

      I was considering grey and white too but I'm scared that it may make the space feel too cold and dull especially as the only light will be through the door which won't be much.

      What colour combo's would you recommend to make the space feel luxurious and modern, yet not too clinical and cold?? I'd like the paint to be dulux preferably.

      what is the quality of Valspar paint like, I've seen it at DIY stores but don't know if it reaches standard of dulux? any reviews??

      thanks

      This is what I initially choose but think that the space may feel to enclosed and cold.

      In my current home as well as the previous one we painted the section under the dado white. We also put anaglypta wallpaper under the dado to add some interest (the houses had textured wallpaper under the dado originally) and painted above the dado in a coloured paint. If you have a large mirror by the door and lighter artwork on the walls you can go for a dark colour it makes a real impact and can create a wonderful first impression.

      Personally I would stick to one colour above and below, especially because you have quite a low ceiling height. Using two colours will further bring the height down.
      I like the colour you tested on your walls, that's a really great neutral which will give a great background for pictures or artwork.

      I like the idea of the same colour in 2 different finishes.

      We have grey/green eggshell below the dado (I wanted eggshell for the slight sheen, wasn’t brave enough for full gloss!) and white emulsion above the dado (trade white not brilliant white - less cold).


      It looks good but I have to say, it’s quite a lot darker than previously when it was all white, especially on non sunny days. On the plus side, it shows marks a lot less.


      I certainly wouldn’t want the whole lot in the grey/green colour, it would be really gloomy. If you decide you want the same colour above and below I would go for a paler blue/grey.
