    Hi


    I am painting my hall soon. I hear that grey is no longer 'in'.



    Can anyone advise on what the latest trend colour for halls is?

    It may be a long time before its painted again :)


    I have a mid chestnut quickstep floor. (not my choice!)



    Thanks!

    Red of course, with a few purple and yellow feature bits.

    I'm just winding you up a bit ha!

    I don't care what colour anywhere in the house is painted as long as it's neutral and I don't have to do it!

    OP, there's a key contradiction in your opening post. You're asking what's 'in' and then say that what you paint the hall will stay that colour for a long time.
    Pick what suits your eye.

    Thanks, what I meant was, grey was in for a good few years and whatever comes next probably would too..


    I don't have an eye for colour/interior design. I was just looking for some paint colour suggestions. That's it really.

    Daughter and hubby were looking at colours last weekend and it was still grey variants. To be more accurate daughter was looking and hubby grunting.

    I have my favorite colors but i decided to pick up all the glossy brochures from dulux fleetwood and johnstones as there designers and color experts must know more and what i should have in my house.... So looked at featured colors and bought them,,,,
    When I started to paint i hated them lol i stopped halfway through and went back to my favorite colors / DEFINITLY go with your gut and your own taste if you intend to be there for a few years. And those little paint sample pots although a bit pricey really help out . happy painting
