Pale green looks great with Oak stairs and flooring.

Agree with Daisy but if you don't want to go green then light grey is also an excellent foil for the oak shade of the floor. I think the stairs would look better carpeted in a textured neutral shade similar to the floor. I would cnsider painting the stair bannister too as it appears a bit orangey in the pics you provided. This could just be the pics though.

Thank you. i am thinking egyptian cotton on the walls. What colour do you think for the stairs? all white or white and black handrail?

A warm off white would look amazing on the walls - take a look at School House White, Farrow and Ball. I like the wood handrail, but I agree with Isla it is a little on the orange side. I might explore staining it in a darker but warmer wood.

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking maybe dulux egyptian cottan and then either white satin wood on the stairs or white satin wood and then a black handrail. What do you think?

I really like Egyptian cotton. Your white and black idea sounds great.

I would definitely recommend getting some samples - hallways are big spaces and you want to make sure you love it. Put samples up on the walls and look at them at different times of the day as the light changes! Good luck!

It's mainly the tone of the colour that makes it work for me. Greens and blues do go perfectly with oak. Examples would be - subtle F&B Mizzle or Skylight - alittle more depth F&B Green Blue or Parma Grey

Good luck

I used Egyptian Cotton on my hall walls, then changed it to Dulux Goose Down after many years. They both look good. The only colour I hated was Pigeon. It was just too dingy for my dark hallway. I think doing the spindles in a dark grey would look really good something like Downpipe? Here it is with pale grey walls.

I would look at a new Farrow and Ball colour 'Stirabout'. It seems to me the colour that has been missing from their range for a long time. It's a sort of oatmeal colour which contains a little red, but it's still creamy. It's warmer and more colourful than Skiming Stone, but reads as a neutral. It's less yellow/green than School House White. I've seen it in my sister's house and it looks gorgeous.

Wow, what a beautiful space, with endless possibilities.

- Opportunity to use a contrast in the smaller entrance and carry that colour through into the main hall area with the accessories-wall art, furniture. e.t.c..

- Under the stairs lends for the opportunity to become a design statement (see under stairs image lit wine cellar, with glass features)

- In terms of wall paints:

- Greens as suggested (sage or off-white sage green undertone is stunning),

Baby Blue (image) Borrowed Light by Farrow & Ball or Bare Minimum by Valspar

A cool toned grey (Benjamin Moore - Blue Springs) See the flooring and the darker contrast with the through room :)

• Color Family: Cool, blues, can lean into greys, greens and whites
• Complementary Colors: Peach, pale orange
• Pairs Well With: Most colors
• Mood: Calming, serene

Off white's as suggested: think about the undertone and pigments and how much natural light the space receives during the daytime.

- The opportunity to install an additional x 2 ceiling lights to compliment the black and glass light already featured in a row to create a modern feature and balance the space overall

Please post some photograph of the end result, we cannot wait to see it

Have a great day

I would go for F&B Ammonite for walls and F&B Purbeck Stone for stairs and spindles. Black for handrail. I would also put a nice black and white striped runner on the stairs.

Recollection by Colourtrend is a gorgeous green colour that we recently used on our hallway! It transformed the space and think it would look great on your hallway

beside wood pattern I think your hallway will be good if the floor has strong pattern, it becomes a center of attention and make the empty space lively, I hope you painted all the door in color that contrast with the wall cause its less inviting people to get in (except the wardrobe door, this door that need to be camouflage with the wall), add hanging lights, mirrors, plants, gold furniture as decoration
