The brief<\/p><\/div>

\u201cIt\u2019s the first thing anyone sees and it felt like a dentist\u2019s waiting room.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

How we did it<\/p><\/div>

The hall at the Old Vicarage is four metres tall and lit by one pendant. We painted the walls a warm stone that looks good in daylight and lamplight, then picked out the spindles, handrail and a run of cupboards under the stairs in a deep navy.<\/p><\/div>

A woven pendant, a round mirror on a leather strap and a coat bench by the door make it a room rather than a corridor. Wall lights up the stairs mean nobody has to climb in the dark any more.<\/p><\/div>
