Julia Underly: A little bit about hallway.

Every house that I visit I see pretty the same thing: beige color is everywhere and it starts from the hallway. Beige is in a kitchen, in a family room, bedroom, bathroom, basement, attic, e.t.c. Sometimes whole house in the same pallet, 100 % of walls are in beige color, it can be different tones but they are all tones of beige. I don't mind about beige, it is a good neutral color, good background, good color if you want to use it in a room where you want to relax. It is easy to change, you don't even need a primer if it is light beige, it is easy to find and it is probably number one color in US.

Unfortunately I don't own a house I rent apartment and I can't paint my walls. But if you are happy owner of the house, it means you can do anything that you want with your walls. Be more brave and experimental. Start with hallway, it is the best area where you can let your fantasy out. You don't relax or spend a lot of time in a hallway, we usually use it to meet our friends and family there or go to other rooms passing through. Add some bright color or pattern, use wallpaper, make it interesting make everyone who walks in your house say "wow".
