Before:
Back to our powerful painting transformation over at 912 E Passyunk Avenue in Bella Vista.
We swapped out the red, which made the hallway appear narrow, for a widening gray. Ahh, much more spacious already! Perhaps the most neglected part of a home is the hallway. Scuffs, poor lighting, bad paint colors all can make an already small hall space seem even smaller and claustrophobic.
- Remember, dramatic color is great for your wardrobe but not always for your walls.
- Avoid dark colors or colors with too much pigment. Avoid hanging too much artwork or oversized pieces in a small hall.
- Add accent mirrors, light paint colors, and bright lighting to open up a hallway.

The gray is really nice and opens up the room, the stripes add too much clutter to the space. Very nice. Will you be doing anything with the stair railing?
A cheap upgrade that offers a nice return.
Donna- did not even think about the railing. What do you suggest?
Doug- sometime painting is the cheapest way to go indeed!
