Buttery yellow is a colour that's full of life and ideal for warming up gloomy spaces, and is therefore a good choice for hallways. BLUES AND YELLOWS Sky blue is the perfect complement to honey toned yellows - it prevents the colour scheme from overheating, and the summery combination brings all the energy and warmth of a summers day. It's an ideal colour scheme for a young family home - cheerful, bright and practical - and painted walls can easily be touched up when sticky fingers do their worst. To add another dimension to plain painted walls, try sponging vinyl silk emulsion onto a vinyl matt base coat of the same colour. This creates a 3-D effect with a very subtle shimmer. To see strong colours like these at their best, separate one from the other with fresh white paintwork. Satin finish paint in antique white creates a softer contrast against blues and yellows than a glossy pure brilliant white. CREATING CHARACTER Original architectural features are a real asset for a decorator, but if your home has none, giving a hall character is not difficult. Pre-formed dado and picture rails are readily available. Here a picture rail provides a convenient cut-off point for one colour, so it needn't be carried through to the wall area upstairs if not required. A boring boarded staircase can be transformed with stylish spindles, which also allow daylight to filter down from upstairs. WOODEN FLOORS A wooden floor is a good choice with a modern colour scheme, but avoid woods with yellow or reddish tones or your walls and floor will simply compete for attention. Pale coloured ash is ideal and wood laminate has been chosen here for economy, but is no less effective. To pull the scheme together, you could throw in a rug in the secondary colour. Don't forget a doormat to remove the worst of the weather from your shoes first. Good lighting is essential for halls and stairs. Wall mounted and pendant uplighters create good overall illumination and provide a light that won't blind you on the stairs. FINDING SPACE Hallways are usually too small and narrow for extensive storage so look for space-saving shelving units , and make the most of walls with hooks for coats and keys. If there is floor space to spare, capacious pine chests offer easily accessible low-level storage , and provide a handy seat for putting on shoes or chatting on the phone. Finally, don't let the front door spoil the look of your newly-decorated hall. A stylish glazed uPVC door is in step with the white paintwork and allows light into the hallway. It's also maintenance free!
