Help! Picking a paint color for hallway

4 years ago

We are undergoing a renovation of our apartment and I need help picking a color for our hallway. We originally had Boothbay Gray chosen but I’ve recently been inspired by some dark and moody hallways (such as Jcrew’s Jenna Lyons hallway below). I‘m a bit nervous to go so bold but would like to try to get out of my comfort zone.

the rest of the apartment will be painted in light colors, all Ben Moore:

great room- Oxford white

daughters room- whitewater bay

sons room- lily white

master- Stonington gray


the hallway is at the center of the apartment and all of the bedrooms are off of it, so the doors will open into each bedroom. I would like to paint the base moulding, trim, doors, walls and ceiling in the same color but use different sheens to create some subtle contrast.


This is our hallway:




Floors will be



I was looking at:

knoxville green

Kitty gray

black pepper


will have a brass light fixture on the ceiling


thoughts?? Ideas??


thanks in advance!!
