What colour shall I paint my hallway?

What colours do you have in the rest of the house (that aren't going to get decorated in the foreseeable)? What colours do you like - neutrals, brights, rich? Do you want the hall to tie the rest of the house together? What colour carpet/floor do you have (assuming that isn't going to change)?

Dulux Egyptian Cotton. Kind of a grey-ish colour. We've just painted our hallway, upstairs and living room with it and its lovely. We have a big hallway and it works really well.

The other one I love is Dulux Gentle Fawn - a very soft grey-purple colour. Our bedrooms are this colour. MrK is not very colour adventurous so I was quite impressed to get him away from Magnolia. ?

We've also used the silk version which has already proved very useful when it comes to wiping off grubby finger marks! ?

Yellow, I love yellow hallways ?

Oh yes, I meant to mention the carpet, sorry ?

It's a beigy biscuity colour and runs throughout the downstairs/stairs and landings. The sitting room is a steely grey colour with black and pewter. The hallway doesn't necessarily have to match that though.

I can tell you what not to go for. Don't pick warm beige, it looks like plaster.

It's a pale yellow at the moment, Sparks, I hate it ?

Kekapania, will looks those colours up too!

Https://www.dulux.co.uk/inspiration/latest_trends/nurture.jsp this might give you some inspiration. I found the Dulux a great help when we picked our 'overtly olive' living room.

Our was recently re-plastered and is now sparkly white (you get snow blind in it!). We are going to paint it a warm grey/purple colour.

try the crown paint website - you can select 5(?) colours from their charts and they will send you an A5 size piece of card painted the colours for free.

Its great! But do pick them from a paint chart as the website colours are very skewed.

Thanks everyone, will check them all out.

Natural Hessian is nice if you like neutrals, we have it in our kitchen http://www.dulux.co.uk/servlet/GetTheLookHandler?folder=bedroom030

Ours is apple white which is bright but soothing http://www.dulux.co.uk/servlet/ColourSchemeHandler?name=apple_white I'm so into green at the moment!

Isn't natural hessian more of a cream? My SIL has it in her living room.

Blue and white Hooooooopsaaaaaah.

I'm painting my whole house white.

Are you pleased with the living room? Can't believe they got it all done in a weekend, send them my direction please.

Obviously Chook's blue and white suggestion is the best but if you struggle with the stripes this colour is lovely on walls

If you have a trade paints near you they'll mix and it's much better value and better paint.

They did it all in a day, PODulika! Mr Hole only had to touch up the paintwork yesterday. Am v pleased with it, just need to find cheap as chips roman blinds. We have seagreass blinds up but they don't match anything now, we obviously didn't think ahead ?

That colour is gorgeous! Sort of what I was thinking of, thank you ?

Thanks all, will be going with QPR colours, natch.
