Dulux Chalky Downs

Remember this house tour top-to-toe in Chalky Downs? Dulux paints are really worth a look for some of their graduated colour schemes (Dusted Moss is another favourite) as a perfect starting palette for a whole house (for the rest of the incredible house tour, click here).

Little Greene French Grey 

This version of the classic French Grey is a colour that looks delicious in different lighting conditions. Small hallways that twist and turn need paint colour that are thoroughly adaptable, and Little Greene's French Grey looks great by starker daylight, as well as in warm artificial light.

Farrow and Ball Brinjal

For a strong colour below dado rails, like this deep aubergine, make sure you cut right back on the strength of colour above; Here Farrow and Ball Cornforth White is used to great calming effect.

The slight blue undertones of this classic grey Farrow and Ball paint give an elegant feel to a period hallway.

Fired Earth Carbon Blue

For a period feel, keep the stronger colour below the chair rail. Alternatively, for a more contemporary take, reverse the two, perhaps adding tongue and groove beneath.

See? Is that a smile I see as you drift off into decorating-land? Imagining a whole new hallway for you and your home, that you never even dreamed was possible?

Enjoy every second!
