Edwardian Semi Hallway - Final Reveal
A few weeks ago, I showed you the final reveal of the living room in an Edwardian Semi in Halifax that I worked on last year. Today, I’m excited to share the final reveal of the lovely hallway!
This room had lots of beautiful original features like the doors, panelling and spindles but they didn’t really stand out. Quite often, I like to go dark in period hallways to create a dramatic entrance and to make the rooms coming off it appear lighter. But this hallway didn’t feel like it should be dark. It’s a large space and has both south and west facing windows so it gets lots of natural light throughout the day. The dining room and lounge are painted in strong colours too (you can just spy the dining room on the left painted in Oval Room Blue by Farrow and Ball) so there wouldn’t have been much light and dark contrast between spaces.

Look at the beautifully shaped spindles and the lovely original panelling!
See how the shape of the spindles is highlighted with the dark paint against the light walls?
We got rid of the giant clock which the clients had never really been big fans of - they just felt like they needed something big to fill the space.
I’d love to know what you think! Let me know in the comments.
