Paint colours - HELP!

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Has anyone had any good experience painting their hallway a dark charcoal colour? If so, could you provide me some images for inspiration? I'm moving into my new house in a few weeks and I'm stuck on finalizing my colours! So any advice would be helpful:)

I love my grays so I plan on using BM Stonington Gray in the south facing areas of the house (Living/dining), but I'm stumped on what to do with my Kitchen/Hallway areas where it is north facing.

I had a crazy idea last night of going dark and dramatic in the hallway and adding in some nice potlots and white trim. The only issue is, if I do paint the hallway dark, it would have to lead up to the stairway hall and through the top floor.

What do you think?

If not, my original idea was to just go safe and paint the hallway/kitchen BM Collingwood gray.

It's not a hallway but I painted my staircase a dark blueish purple. I plan on adding a chalkboard clear coat to the entire wall and artwork and having chalk markers so my kid and his friends can use the wall as a chalkboard. Haven't gotten around to applying the clear coat yet. I just did it a couple of weeks ago and am loving it. I say pick out your charcoal grey and go for it! If you don't end up liking it, paint is easy enough to change. I wanted lots of drama and I love art so this is what I ended up with. The wall is 6 feet wide and 15 feet tall.

Your house really look nice. And the idea of painting it gray is a good one actually i thought of that as my suggestion. And you can also blend white or black if you want it dark. Then put some lights that will contract to the color of your house.
