Hallway design/ please help

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

Something seems off balance in my hallway. I’m not a professional designer so I am not sure what it is, but I think it might be the photos ( too far apart?) Everything you see has been purchased recently so i would like to work with what I have. I would appreciate positive opinions and advice on how to improve the space ( please don’t say add some colour lol, I prefer neutral) 😊

yes pictures are spaced too far apart. The styling on sideboard is a bit low down and under done. The rug is a tad brown for the space so I'd try and introduce elements to the that in (maybe rattan baskets). I'd loose the white stools they serve no useful purpose and the look is too symetrical. When grouping items on the tabletop go for odd numbers and vary the heights.

I would paint the brick the same colour as your walls then follow the trim work you already have, I then place a sprint on the wall and place your wedding photo else where, I would also paint our door and window trim the same colour as the white trim to brighten the whole area. Also a nice plant but not a high one I think would also look nice,if your not into plants a then a empty bowl,

Help please! Parquetry in my hallway OR solid timber planks??
Q
Comments (29)
Thanks Siriuskey for your fotos.... beautiful Parquetry floors, beautiful home and stunning water views! I notice your parquetry floor transitions to grey tiles as well.... which is also very similar to what i will have happening. Im now very much leaning towards parquetry you'll be pleased to know. I collected some samples today, and noticed the store had them in a double formation which i'd never seen layed like that before. Its just 1 block of parquetry layed right next to another to make it seem thicker. I think it looks quite contemporary....check out the pic below from the timber showroom:(top half shows 2 blocks layed together in herringbone pattern) I placed a few of these on my floor as example No1, then i placed some in single herringbone as example No2 below. Which do you think looks better? - examples No1 double block herringbone - example No2 single block herringbone Thanks in advance for everyones input and feedback :-)

Oh my these ideas are all so good! Thank you all! So I have had a few red wines and am getting a little excited but I am blown away by how much you have all helped resolve this. Brilliant Messy Him is equally impressed!! OkLouise, I love your three suggestions!!! I am particularly keen to look more into the third one as I have always loved the layouts that have the amenities tucked behind the vanity.. I just didn’t think we could fit it in to ours. This is such a neat design, thank you. Siriuskey, “Brilliant him” made me laugh out loud. I adore the ottoman ideas... what luxury. And I would never have thought about going for the natural light and adding a little makeup area there would be absolutely perfect! I also love how you have zoned the toilet and vanity from the showering / bathing. Sooooo good! Thank you! Nic perhaps I could do both? Natural for daylight hours and hollywood for evening? I think that’s perfectly acceptable ;) We are meeting with our architect in the a.m and can’t wait to go over your ideas. I’ll be sure to post our final plans. And please look out for my future cries for help! Next to tackle is “to void or not to void”!!!! I’ll explain more later this week. Thanks all Emma x

Help with hallway photo configuration please
Q
Comments (41)
Thanks siriuskey. Yes I do want to use the frames I have and although Julie’s suggestion is probably the nicest, it’s not possible. That’s not to say another config won’t look good. Truth is I don’t have alot of wall space and I want to buy some large colourful artwork for two big walls that I do have. So I’ve narrowed down to two configurations. Which do you prefer? Montage and two horizontals or the cluster of 4? I do like the cluster but the lowest point will be quite low. It’s 120cm from highest to lowest points. Thanks everyone!!

I Love your neutral colour scheme, try moving the sideboard to the left and have the two stools together then on the other side, perhaps a couple of larger white pieces of white pottery on the leftish side of the cabinet. Are there any rooms opposite this

Yep, there is a room opposite the wall. The rug is probably dirty haha, it wasn’t that dark when I purchased it but you know... kids. The stools were an attempt to balance out the frames instead of begging my husband to move the frames and drill more holes in the wall, but I agree they look strange there..

I don't think they look strange it's just they way are placed much easier than drilling holes , you can buy none drill picture hangers from Bunnings

Ditch one print. Centre the other two over the dresser. And add a larger vase/lamp to the dresser, overlapping the bottom of the prints. If you want to keep three prints you need a bigger dresser/console.

I don’t think the rug and timber on the unit go together. I’d ditch the rug, cheaper. Try moving the unit under two of the pics. The other thing is it all looks too staged, no personality.

Hi, lovely cabinet, pig you can persuade hubby to move artwork closer together that would be great, it’s all about balance, a patterned rug, a large plant, you could then try ottoman to other side.

Oh my goodness, that should read great if you can persuade hubby, auto correct is not always a good thing.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I think I’m going to ditch one photo and add some interesting pots and a large plant to one side.

I would add some colour to the scene.... A muted colour not bright so it contrasts with current items...and texture! Textured wicker basket... 2 tone pot... Black tinged platter for keys.... Maybe even weathered timber... Put Ottomans together with whitewash timber tray across both for lower level display and put plant on top... How about a big white/wicker/glass lamp.... Lookup TLC interiors for great inspiration on designing with muted neutral tones https://www.tlcinteriors.com.au/

I personally think it looks beautiful just as it is....do not move a thing!!! When you loving man brings you flowers (white of course) they will just add a frisson too.
