What color should you paint a hallway?

My living room is painted a sage green color and the hallway comes right off of the living room. Should I paint it the same sage green or leave it the off white color it is now?

What color should you paint a hallway?
Definetly paint it sage just like your living room it will give the effect of a bigger area instead of cutting it off with a contrasting color..
Reply:Lighter colors make small spaces look bigger. If the hallway is small leave it the way it is or just pain like a horizontal green stripe about mid way to bring the color in there. If the hallway is really open the green color should do fine.
Reply:what color is the room the hallway leads to..if it is de same then thou shall paint it the green..if it is somethin else thou shall leave it as thee of white ugly color it is now, no questions asked

Reply:Both. Install moulding at chair rail height, paint the lower half the green color and leave the top half the white color. Match the trim that you already have in the hallway and the hallway retains its uniquness while blending it to its surroundings.
Reply:paint it a different shade of green
Reply:Kathy,you should paint the hallway sage green.Especially if you have artwork in the hallway.Were trying to decide what color to paint our hallway as well.It is also off white.Our hallway comes right out of the den and kitchen.Our den is dark sage and our kitchen is tuscan green.I hope I gave you some words of wisdom.Good luck on your decision.
Reply:Go with a bright color, enhances the size. Yellow, not recommended tends to make one sad and is said to make babies cry. Red, tends to be invigorating. Why paint the same color as living room? You want to divide these to areas. Why leave it in a traditional color? What color's are your favorite? Have you thought of a light violet/plum with silver trim? Have a suggestion for you if you don't mind, I have a website you should go to.
Reply:same color as the living room
Reply:it really depends on were the hallway is. if its right by the front door make it a dark sandy tan. if its deep in the house blue but with a strip of the green in the middle to help tye it in with the livign room.
