This is great advice…for boring people. 😂 I kid. But I am also keeping my electric blue teal hallway. It is magical.

I'm not even super bold when it comes to paint colours and wall papers but saying only light neutrals and soft pastels look good in a hallway is such a narrow-minded take. Darker and/or bolder colours and patterns can look super interesting in a hallway if the rest of the house matches that vibe. I also think that (except for maybe the laundry room) the hallway tends to be the most lackluster part of a lot of people's homes so I enjoy it when people do something interesting with their hallways.

While *some* of this is spot on, it really applies more to houses than apartments. With an apartment, if you're lucky enough to even have a foyer, the best thing to do with it is often a strong color, because there's no window and the space has nothing else going for it, so why not try out a color that would be too intense in a larger area where you spend much more time? I also wouldn't say no to wallpaper completely, as there are lovely tone-on-tone wallpapers that have complicated patterns but simple color schemes. The most important thing is that the hallway color (or really any other space that can be seen from another room) should be an easy transition to the next space. I have pale green hallways (so pale that they often seem like white with the green from the evergreens outside reflected into them), but I also have several rooms that have some variation on greens, blues, aquas, or off-whites (and one green-ground wallpaper) on the same floors so they work together.

Did a light gray on the walls in my hallway and a dark navy blue on the ceiling and the furthest wall. The hallway is already pretty narrow, so doing this created a really cool optical illusion that the hallway stretched even further than it does. Don't forget to paint your ceilings and get creative!

I was hoping you'd toss us some suggestions. Pale Oak? Sea Salt? New Age?

It’s interesting how this video was made with such a specific floorplan in mind. Personally, I’ve never seen a house with a long corridor hallway that was “the biggest part of the inside of the home”. I think it usually makes sense in interior design to think about different approaches for different situations. My house has two hallways that are short, wide, and open. After living in several parts of the US and abroad, I haven’t yet found a hallway like the one described in this video, but I’ll be on the lookout, ready to share this advice with whomever owns that home. 2:12

With my home, the hallway is connected though the one wall of the living room. I don't have a foyer. I'm going with Claire like buttah. I hope it works out. I'm almost done with the prep. That's taken forever.

Great ideas in this video! Thank you for sharing!

Can you please indicate east, west, north, south facing rooms for your paint choices because all colors look different in different settings

You are right thank you I''m glad I came to your page...

Great advice and different to the other videos that suggest deep bold colours

Great video, as always

TBH, I haven't made up my mind about this topic. But, to me there is a certain logic to painting hallways very dark so long as the rooms they lead to are painted with very light colors, or have large windows bringing in a lot of light. I agree with you about vibrant and/or neon colors.

At 5:10....what is that color? And at 6:59? I love those colors!

I keep going darker in my hall because of hand prints. Is moth wing or balanced beige too dark for a front hallway? We have a NW orientation. I have been painting accessible beige in the upstairs hall where there are no windows other than the SE oriented living room windows and I am surprised at how much grey it shows

I used ‘Light grey’ by farrow and ball in my hallway which is a green undertoned earthy grey. I love it so much 😊

Do you know about what color those walls are from 1:55 - 2:05? Thanks

I have no window in my litle hallway a lot of doors and the floor is white with some grey in I do not know what you recommend?? Sorry my not so good english..

Oh noooo…I just picked up SW taupe tone for my small hall leading to the master bedroom.😮 oh well good thing it’s a small personal hall.

I have a question. Painted my hall and realized in an area going up the stairs and hall leading to bedroom must have wallpaper because walls started to bubble. Now glue must be bleeding through paint 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. What should I do?

Pastels are lovely unless you have dogs and cats who brush against the walls. I have Revere Pewter cause it is in a p shape with the living room. Can’t go lighter or i would be washing walls all the time
