Metallic Hallway Paint

Have you grown tired of white walls and neutral shades in your hallway? If you're ready to explore a more dynamic paint colour scheme, you might want to consider experimenting with metallic paints. 

Metallics aren't for everyone, but they can instantly transform a hallway into something truly extraordinary. Glorious gold and glistening silver will not only elevate the style credentials of your entrance hall, but they'll also help bounce around natural light. 

You don't even need that much space to work with to make effective use of metallic paint. Neutral colours aren't your only option if you're dealing with a narrow hallway. Provided you're balancing metallics with the right complementary colours, you can turn any hallway into a standout space. 

At Tikkurila, we stock a first-rate selection of metallic paints. What's more, you won't struggle to find the perfect accent colours to help you realise your dream hallway paint ideas.

Why Use Metallic Paint in a Hallway?

Your hallway should make a lasting first impression. For visitors, it's the first space they see within your home. A metallic scheme accented with bold colours is a surefire way of wowing every guest you welcome through your front door. 

Furthermore, your hallway can help you turn your back on the stresses of the day. Your entrance hall should be calming and induce a feeling of relaxation. Metallics might not seem like the obvious antidote to high-stress levels, but it's easy to balance them out with muted neutrals and dusky paint colours. 

It's also worth remembering that your hallway is a vital part of your home. Too many overlook these spaces when decorating, resulting in washed-out spaces drenched in bright white. If you're tired of staring at an unloved space that's devoid of personality, now's the time to embrace the majesty of metallics.

Our Favourite Metallic Hallway Paint Colours

If you're feeling adventurous and are ready to experiment with metallic paint colours, you'll find plenty of options in our range. Below are just a handful of our favourite metallic paint colours that you can put to good use in your hallway today. 

Many people reach for earthy browns and tans when decorating their hallways. These colour wheel staples are warming and soothing, but they're not your only option when creating a cosy atmosphere. 

Our Gold paint can prove just as effective at elevating your hallway, bringing that warming ambience in spades. Because it will bounce around light with ease, you can use the same colour throughout your hallway. Alternatively, use it alongside an assortment of conventional colours. 

If you're wary of using too much metallic paint in your hallway, reserve a coat of gold for architectural details. A splash of gold paint will work incredibly well as a backdrop for a feature wall. Failing that, use it with a muted tan or neutral shade to create a jaw-dropping two-tone wall effect.

If standard gold is too glamorous for your tastes, opt for Rose Gold instead. This pared-back metallic isn't lacking in opulence, but it's far easier to incorporate into hallway decor. 

This metallic paint colour is surprisingly versatile. You can use it alongside other metallics, but it also pairs beautifully with dusky pinks and beige hues. What's more, because it's not as overwhelming as standard gold, you can be a bit more liberal when applying it to your hallway walls. 

Searching for a stunning alternative to grey hallway walls? Our Silver metallic paint is the perfect choice. 

You can use this versatile metallic in place of any grey or off-white paint. It's a go-to option for anyone who loves contemporary design, although you can pair just about any accent colour with this timeless shade. 

No matter how large or narrow your hallway is, this muted metallic will deliver. Offset it with pure whites or tonal greys, or layer hints of gold or copper into the mix. 

Best Metallic Paint Colour Combinations for a Hallway

Many people avoid metallic paint because they know what to pair it with. Need some inspiration? We've put together some winning colour combinations for anyone ready to embrace the magnificence of metallic paint. 

Grey and Rose Gold

Rose gold is one of the more versatile metallics you can use to decorate with, meaning there's no shortage of choices when it comes to complementary colours. 

If you're aiming to create a more serene entrance hall, stick with muted shades from the grey colour family. You can coat your walls with subtle grey hues, then use rose gold to accent room details. 

To incorporate even more metallic sheen into your hallway, why not add a contemporary console table or rose gold frames to your space? 

Black and Silver

Black and silver is a dream colour pairing. If you've used silver to paint your hallway walls, reach for black when picking out hallway accents like bannisters and stair risers. 

However, you'll want to avoid using too much black throughout your entrance hall. Instead of using black to paint your door frame, use a rich grey or darker neutral instead. 

You can also choose black when adding furniture to your hallway. However, it's best to stick with stripped-back pieces and slimline shapes if you want to keep your floor plan feeling light and airy. 

Green and Gold

If you're going all out with a luxurious hallway makeover, green and gold will prove a winning combination. Use gold and neutrals to coat your walls, then incorporate emerald greens and turquoise shades to add depth and create drama. 

This daring colour combination is best reserved for larger spaces. However, you can still play around with this eye-popping pairing in smaller hallways. 

Look for furniture that combines elements of both, such as shoe benches with gold-toned frames and green upholstery. Alternatively, pick out a metallic console table and dress it with green-infused ornaments. 

Blue and Silver

Blue and silver is a stunning colour combination that can be used in traditional and modern hallways alike. If you've used metallic silver to paint hallway walls, look for hallway seating with dark navy blue upholstery. 

Darker blues tend to work best with silver, but you should avoid cramming too much rich colour into a smaller hallway. If your space is looking a little overwhelmed, offset things with hints of muted grey.
