The Most Important Room You Never Think About
Your hallway is the first thing guests see. In London properties — where hallways are often narrow and poorly lit — getting the decorating right makes an enormous difference.
Colour Strategies for London Hallways
Light and Bright
For narrow Victorian hallways with limited natural light, lighter colours create a sense of space. Farrow & Ball's Wimborne White or Little Greene's Linen Wash work beautifully.Bold and Dramatic
If you have a generous entrance hall, don't be afraid to go dark. Deep colours like Farrow & Ball's Hague Blue or Railings create a sophisticated, welcoming atmosphere.Practical Considerations
- Use eggshell or satin finish for durability
- Consider darker colours below the dado rail
- Ensure good lighting to complement your colour choice
