Draw attention in grey

Quickly and easily add interest to the hallway by using unexpectedly dark tones on the flooring. Grey hues can transform unloved spaces, so they’re a perfect way to instantly refresh. Try using a dark charcoal along the hallway – it will draw the eye down and elongate the space. Keeping the hallway decorations to a minimum maintains the flow, so experiment with a delicate side table and a minimalist coat hook.

Get lavish with stairways
Blue staircase with white walls
If you’re looking for a sumptuously different staircase, a coat of paint can transform your space. A dark blue tone is a quick way to turn a neutral area into an opulent feature. The luxurious color stands out best when contrasted with white walls, railings and furniture, so the focus is kept on the staircase. Decorate with simple, white ornaments for a staircase that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel.

The modern pastel

White flooring gives the perfect backdrop to your furniture, so you can experiment by decorating using soft greens, pinks and creams. Layering pastel tones in the furniture and ornaments gives you a playfully modern space to enjoy.
