Need help hallway paint!

10 years ago
To Faux or not to Faux, that is the question! We painted or hallway hoping to change the previous yellow/brown faux and bring the hallway alive! The walls are semi heavy texture, perfect for faux finish but were lost!! My wife wanted to start with a white with some blue, I think it's Glidden Arctic white or something. We will either paint the wood baseboard or just replace it, the carpet can be any color and will get replaced once some other areas of the house are done.

My wife would like to faux paint, but it seems there are only earthy/stone colors (yellow, Browns, tans) there are more vibrant faux like blue, purples etc...not sure we are looking for something too loud. My wife wants it warm feeling. We have 3 LED 3700k lights down the hallway, and any carpet can go in later. Me personally I was thinking a modern gray on one side and the current white on the other, then paint the baseboard and add some decor pictures and art work etc

Please help us!! Any suggestions to help get us going would be great.

The first 3 is our hallway, then the next on s an idea I had.

    Love your design idea i would totally ditch the carpet in that hallway all together. Youll never get rid off that traffic wear in carpet you can really see it infront of each door in your pics. Hope it comes out great tho for you whichever you decide!

    I love your textured walls! I have similar textured walls in my kitchen. I love faux painting and if I ever get a chance to do some, I will have to look at a couple of faux painting books I have on hand. There are several articles and tutorials online regarding faux painting that will probably answer your questions. Good luck!
