Words by our colour consultant Fiona de Lys I’m often asked what makes a good entrance hallway colour. It’s a tricky space to manage because, like a spine, it often runs through the house, connecting the top floor to the ground floor and has to comfortably lead into the colours of the adjoining rooms. Hallways have two main purposes to greet and transition through, so an almost unnoticeable shadow like colour often works. Here is an east entrance, so softness of the morning and stronger mid daylight. Edward has created a delicate and warm homecoming using a very popular colour in the range, ‘Lilac Pink’ and the reason it works is because it is the more yellow of the soft pinks and therefore avoids turning cold. From the blueness of the mid-afternoon light, with the ceiling painted in ‘Plain White’, the tall panelling presents an opportunity to introduce a third colour to the scheme that comfortably links back to the ‘Lilac Pink’ by using ‘Fair White’, which is the warmest of the first three whites, an alternative colour to pair with is another hallway favourite, ‘Paris Grey’.
