I think white would go with anything and would brighten up those areas for sure. That is a ton of wood paneling though. Have you considered laying some drywall over top that stuff? I only mention that because that is what we did in one of our rooms.

Very faintly you can see that we had painted paneling in a room before we did anything to it. I was happy to repaint it but then we opted to lay drywall over it.

Same wall but now with drywall and fresh paint.

We did have another room with more paneling that we just painted.

Though I like pine (looks great with the stone!), this is a lot.. And it's vertical.. If it were a livingroom or bedroom I'd say rip it out and plaster. But it's a hallway (and I guess there's plenty more to be done). Hallways can be fun, dramatic, bright, dark. And pine can bleed through paint. So I did a mockup of a grey wash to go with the floors. Doors and trim either brown or black or inbetween (ebony). And a mockup of whitewash and white paint. Or wait with the hallway, decorate around the house and grow into it, new ideas will arise.

It really depends alot on the style of the home throughout and the style you wish to acheive. It appears to have alot of character with the door details and flooring of stone. It is a shame to paint wood as it is a natural beauty. It adds charachter and for hallways is easier to hide marks. I would try using brighter lighting in the space that would brighten and also highlight the beauty in the wood. Would love to see more photos of other rooms and the outside architectural style of your home. Best wishes!

I like the kitchen cabinetry as it is but would change the knobs to a dark metal or oil rubbed bronze. I would paint the kitchen walls an off white to lighten and brighten. Be sure good lighting such as under cabinet lights and alot of overhead lighting to accenuate the wood and stone materials. I am not a fan of painting over natural materials. I would consider putting a large piece of artwork that has lighter colors in it to lighten the stone wall or a large mirror but just one large piece or 2 pieces at the most on the stone wall.Thanks for the additional photos. I can tell there is alot of interior charm and character. Best wishes!

The stone wall looks great with the floor! Decorate a somewhat modern version of Midcentury style, lighter sofa's!! A makeover of the fireplace could modernise the room though.

Lovely house!
