Your home looks like it may be 'vintage' so you may not want to paint the doors if they are in good condition but you may want to frame them. Have some fun in your hallway with some colour. After all you don't spend that much time there and it is the first impression everyone will have of your home when they walk in. Paint the trim one colour and the walls another. As others have said put some 'pop' in the area with what you hang on the walls. Perhaps you have a favourite painting or picture that can give you the inspiration for the colours to use.

Thanks for your congrats and comments guys! I would appreciate any advice about the rooms! I'll pop a pic of original kitchen so you can see. The things that stand out are probably the Ceiling Roses- those suggested lights are amazing. I would looove to get those for above the dining table. Budget might stop me though. Any suggestions for something less pricey? I have an industrial type cage cluster light I was thinking about (photo below) There is two sets of columns, maybe I could make the most of them buy painting them grey

What is your favourite colour ? Even just glancing above , look at Kates inspiration shot , the one with the blue rug and blue themed abstract pic ! Hell , even look at the 'actual' pictures of yours , and see the tan stools -- you know the colour is 'safe' when tan stools are the highlight haha . I love tan , but it needs more ! Now imagine your kitchen , with the 2 lots of tiles redone in say yellow ( or blue or red or purple if its your favourite ) , the lightshades in yellow etc , a yellow juicer and half a dozen of those yellow and white placemats on the kitchen benches ! So $1000 or so , stage 1 done . Maybe in a couple of years ( or weeks if you are impatient haha ) , repaint the beige in a lighter tone -- have fun , maybe even have it slowly changing and evolving !
