Cream on cream colour scheme for a welcoming hallway
Cream on cream is a colour scheme we love for all things relaxing and eye soothing. Don’t be afraid to layer up your creams throughout your hallway for a neutral and cozy ambience.
Play around with different shades of cream paints on walls and panelling. Add in cream carpets and rugs, furnishings and artwork to bring everything together.

Cream and green hallway idea
Create a contrasting look in your hallway by combining a cream palette with a darker colour. Painting your lower walls or panelling with a darker colour will make your walls look taller and your space bigger. Carry the look up your stairs for an effortless look that carries through upstairs.
