The Best Colors to Use for Hallway Flooring

Posted on Fri, 9 Jul 2021 by Guest

When it comes to your hallway, you have probably not put as much thought into its design as other areas in your home. But, it does not always have to be this way. You do not have to crowd the space with a lot of furniture or various types of artwork. Instead, you can carefully choose a laminate floor colour for a contemporary design. But, what is the best colour for your space? Well, you can discover a lot of options at https://www.woodfloorwarehouse.co.uk/laminate-flooring. But, here are some colors you can consider for your hallway.

Brown

First of all, a lot of people do not consider brown as a modern color to use for a home space. But, it can be. For instance, a light brown is going to have a contemporary wooden style that a lot of people like. It can make a space appear clean and tidy. You can also opt for darker browns, which can help to expand a space. This is something that can be beneficial if you have a narrow hallway that you wish to widen. So, a modern look can enjoy a light brown color or you can create the illusion of space with dark brown.

Baby Blue

Have you considered a baby blue color for your hallway? Often, this is the first space that a guest is going to enter. Indeed, this means that you want it to be comforting and inviting. This is exactly what the color baby blue can do. This shade is soft and makes you feel good, as well as having a modern touch.

Grey

A contemporary color that is trending right now is grey. This means that if you are trying to choose a modern color for your hallway, this is definitely one to consider. In particular, it is timeless and sophisticated and it will compliment other colors if you have furniture or décor already. What’s more, the good thing about grey is that there are so many shades to choose from. Grey wood flooring is popular and offers a lot of options that you can explore.

White

If you are someone that likes your hallway to appear clean and contemporary, another good color for flooring is white. This is going to reflect light and allow a bright and cheery room to walk into. What’s more, white is known to be a clean color and it can make a space look less cluttered and dirty. This is something that you definitely need for a hallway, which can be filled with shoes, bags and coats.

In Summary

Choosing hallway flooring is not easy. But, it is better to look at all of the options as being exciting. In particular, there are a lot of colors to choose from if you are wanting to enjoy a contemporary style. For example, brown is good for cleanliness and for creating the illusion of space. Baby blue is welcoming and grey wood floors are going to be sophisticated. Plus, white can be clean and cheerful.

From its elegant orangery style window and high ceilings in the living room to the cosy kitchen, from the verdant garden back through to the sweet and most likely hard-working scullery come laundry this London maisonette in Brondesbury Road has stolen my heart. Now if only I could move to London during the pandemic (my whole country is isolating from the world) I’d make it mine.

Hot Springs by William Hefner

I am smitten with this glorious home – inside and out. Designed as a flexible compound, a new home in the Montecito foothills honors the creative lifestyle of a couple moving full time to the country. A self-contained main house overlooks the rolling property from the top of the site. Adjoining guest space, a pool cottage, an art studio, and working gardens form a set of outbuildings and areas that seem to emerge naturally from the landscape. A palette of local stone and plaster creates a rustic and modern translation of rural houses in Provençe, recalling in particular the vernacular of old world stone barns. High-ceilinged, single-floor wings connect the main living spaces with whitewashed crispness, letting the house feel light and uncrowded.  A long, elegant pool anchors the lower section of the lawn in its own sequestered grove of trees, establishing the feeling of being in open countryside. A massive, very old California oak tree that couldn’t be moved sits at the heart of the property on a slight hill, welcoming views from every vantage point and providing a favorite place to dine outside.

Beldi Country Club

I suspect these photos of the Beldi Country Club in Marrakech does not do its exquisite beauty justice. What I would give to visit in person. This has everything – a 42-suite hotel (each with private terrace), restaurant, spa, gardens, 4 gorgeous pools, its own souk. And all this 10 minutes from the city centre.
