\"Hallway<\/p>\n

So I’m back with another interiors post! I know, I am on a roll right? I shared our 1930s living room renovation<\/a> last week, and so this week I am going to focus on our hallway renovation.<\/p>\n

1930s Hallway Renovation<\/em><\/h2>\n

This is actually the last of our home we have renovated thus far, but it feels like the most ‘finished’ compared to our other rooms currently. I have some styling, cleaning, tidying and odd jobs left to sort before sharing some of our other interior spaces.<\/p>\n

However as this leads to our living room and of course is the entrance to our art deco house<\/strong>, it feels like a good place to focus on next. One thing we really could do with updating in our hallway is our understairs cupboard\/cupboard door. But that’s something to think about in the future.<\/p>\n

The Build<\/h3>\n

We had a lot of wallpaper to remove in the hallway, including on the ceiling! I know, fun times. It’s easy to underestimate a hallway as if feels like a small space, but when looking at the length of the walls, it can really add up.<\/p>\n

We then plastered all the walls and ceiling, before we painted the walls in Dulux Easy Care Brilliant White. It’s a dark space as we have practically no natural light<\/strong>, due to the extension taking away the landing window. Something we have been dabbling with is installing a light tunnel (we have one successfully used in our family bathroom), so we may do this in the future.<\/p>\n

We actually painted the hall in a grey tone<\/strong>, but it wasn’t successful and we repainted it white to maximise the light. I also wanted something easy to clean as it gets a lot of footfall.<\/p>\n

It’s really stood up despite my scrubbing here and there at stubborn marks. We also replaced our radiators<\/strong> to match the living room with column radiators from the Acova range<\/a> as well as changing the sockets and adding a couple of new spotlights near the door. I only wish we added a couple more spots as it really makes a huge difference to the lighting.<\/p>\n
