I used a bright wallpaper, from Scalamandre, and high gloss paint for this entrance hall. I wanted to create a bright, reflective look to make use of the natural daylight. Antique carpets worked really well with the client's art collection. I kept the stairs uncarpeted to give the hall a more formal, European look.

jabber629 I would use a larger print wallpaper so that it looks modern but still timeless and will still be in style in a few years. I'm thinking something like this, a Moroccan tile print wallpaper.

jabber629 Or they even offer decal wallpaper that just peels off. But I don't know how much it would cost in your space.

the hand rail and risers - this is exactly how my house is set up except there are no walls to the right. The hardwood color is the same. I want to change the staircase I was thinking of painting the risers white, leave the step part wood and painting the handrail black. Is that what you have done here? »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Victorian homes, especially the grander ones, often used dark wood paneling. Dark wood doesn't work that well with more contemporary designs, but wood can look fabulous painted white and paired with a bolder color on the walls. Here, the painted paneling used with the white and wood stairs adds width and interest to plain walls in a narrow hall, which is typical of the era. If you're installing paneling from scratch, keep true to Victorian style and make sure it is elegantly beveled.
