Suggestions needed for decorating a looong hallway
Comments (9)I can't resist jumping in because we had an exceptionally long narrow hallway without windows in our very first home, a Spanish-bungalow duplex. Our paultry decorating fund went into the rooms opening off the dark shadowy hall, which were very sunny and bright. All frames and walls were already an off white and the wall-to-wall a rich deep moss green the salesman told our landlady was that yucky olive that was so popular. The light was an iron fixture almost certainly original to the bungalow. That's it--dark, cool, calm, quiet. Sounds boring, but it was beautifully simple in spite of my intentions and a perfect transition from and to the rooms opening off. Everything looked better because of it. That hall had such a wonderful character of its own that I even sat down in it a couple times to enjoy its calm. So, one color for walls/frames/doors, lovely rugs, fine architectural light fixtures (the ones you have?), and...nothing else? BTW, where our hall jogged at the end, and continued another 5 feet out of sight, I decorated that little hall segment as if it were its own destination--bookcase, painting above, lamp--creating a suite out of it and the only bath and our bedroom that opened off it. That worked very well also and made it seem important enough to walk all that way....See MoreTrim, Ceiling, Door color, Oh My
Comments (2)I haven't used the Chalk Gray but didn't use Decorator White either for my space because I wanted a softer contrast with my walls and furniture. We ended up using Antique White....See MorePaint Color suggestions in grey family to complement current decor
