Matching Your Staircase To Your Colour Scheme

Feb. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- When decorating a home the hallway can be somewhat overlooked. As a room that no one really takes much notice of when it is done right, it stands out if its decorated improperly. Making your hallway a statement room is simple. With a glamorous staircase and the right colour scheme you can create an elegant and spacious area that will stand out for all the right reasons.

The cream colour palette is often used in many hallways. Gold, cream and beige can create a spacious and light environment that adds a touch of timeless glamour in a very understated way. Dark wood creates juxtaposition with the light walls creating a more balanced look. This will make the staircase a feature in your hallway. With an impressive staircase in a large hallway the design can make your hallway the feature area in your home. The size of your hallway can help to decide on the colour and design of your staircase. There is a large selection of bespoke staircase fitters to customize and fit your space perfectly.

For smaller spaces lighter wood creates an airy feel and is perfect with warm colours such as rose. Avoid heavy colours as this may drown your space out. Soft colours are a popular choice as it allows for a smooth transition into the other rooms. Dark wood with cream carpets can create an elegant look within a small space. Oak wood staircases make up for the lack of light in a hallway, whereas dark wood may reduce the space further.  

For dark hallways use a light wood or cream coloured carpet to balance the two tones. They will complement each other without drowning the room out. Having accentuated differences is important in a hallway so it doesn’t get too dark. Modest hallways create an elegant look whereas dramatic hallways can take the effect away from the other rooms.
