GALLERY

Classic-contemporary hallway

Your hallway should make a lasting first impression. If you fancy a space that's eccentric and edgy, keep original period detailing such as panelling, Victorian floor tiles and banisters and accessorize with a mix of modern, statement pieces.

Off the wall

For a cool, calm and collected hallway, paint above and below the dado rail in complimentary shades of soft putty grey, highlighting any decorative detailing in off-white. This creates a perfect, subtle backdrop for showing off any striking design-led pieces.

Below dado painted in Trellick, above dado painted in St Paul's and detailing painted in Perfect White, from the Living Etc range by Craig & Rose. Available in eggshell or emulsion, the range starts at £1.48 for a tester pot, £12.98 for a 1 litre pot of eggshell and £19.98 for a 2.5 litre pot of emulsion. Livingetc Paint will be available in 53 B&Q stores nationwide from 11th May.
