Hallway & Stairs

My staircase has certainly generated a lot of chatter since I painted them. You can find all of the information about the DIY project in my other blog posts here.

Gallery Wall

I curated this wall over years from multiple retailers but not because I wanted this to be the perfect gallery wall… rather, I bought each of these prints for entirely different areas in the house and then I realised that they worked really well together in the hallway going up the staircase. It didn’t occur to me until we had repainted the walls and I hung a few prints and felt that they didn’t fill the space properly. So I went through our attic and grabbed anything already in a black frame and this is what happened… I think that it works really well.

Some of the prints and frames are still in stock so you can find them by clicking here on the image.

In case you’re interested, the below picture is what it looked like when I felt that there weren’t enough pictures to fill the wall. So this is why I added more but it’s useful to have this picture here so that you can click on the different parts of the image to go to the products (or similar products if they’re out of stock)

Paint

Over the years we have painted our hallway and landing twice so depending on which picture you're looking at, the colour may be different - ever so slightly depending on how much light is in the room as well!

The picture to the left, and most of my pictures now show Joa's White, which has a yellow undertone and this is what we plan to stick with for the foreseeable future as I love it and it helps to make the room look brighter.

Initially we had painted it in Elephant's Breath, which has a red undertone making it look a bit of a dusky pink in the evening glow. See the bottom right picture of the grid.

Bannisters & Stairs

The bannisters and the treads are painted in the same paint and is very durable for the high traffic. In 3 years I’ve had to touch up the treads once and I have never had to repaint the bannisters. Having said that, certain parts have a become a bit worn so they will need a touch up in time.
