Hallway Dark Hardwood Floors Design Photos and Ideas

Home to architect Michael Artemenko, co-director of FIGR Architecture Studio—along with his wife Emma and their young daughter—this renovated heritage home in the Melbourne suburb of Cremorne uses a portal-like corridor painted a vibrant pink to connect the original period home to a new wing.
A skylight above the staircase floods the staircase and the upper-level hallway with natural light.
An architect couple restored this Art Deco gem, gently modernizing it for work and family life.
Taking down the floating upper cabinets created better sight lines from the kitchen out the windows.
A balcony area overlooks the living room below. Mahogany wood clads the ceiling, and folding glass doors seamlessly connect a private outdoor space.

"Guohua has been a close friend of Bob and me for many years, and we have been doing our best to help each other throughout the whole process."
The original dwelling was retained with only the two rear walls removed. A column now marks the spot where the southwest corner of the original house once stood.
Existing oak flooring was custom stained to match the preserved mahogany woodwork.
In the previous floor plan, the dining room was closed off from the kitchen and accessed by swinging doors. Paying special attention to how the old and new spaces meet, the architects widened the opening between the old dining room and new kitchen, and installed a plaster arch that reflects the home’s historic character.
A lit Exit sign and salvaged cinema seats decorate the foyer, giving the home a playful feel.
Sliding doors give the home an elegant character and enhance the fluidity of the plan.
Restoration Hardware's Gramercy Console Table sits in the entryway above a custom mohair rug by Woven. The leather vase is by Jenni Kayne.
A colored compound mixed into the cement gives the home a yellow color that lends a much warmer feeling than gray concrete.
The 6,500-square-foot property is neatly tucked away in the canyons of Malibu, California, and it enjoys panoramic ocean and mountain views. Measuring nearly five and a half acres, the impressive estate is studded with towering eucalyptus and lush, native flora.
Heritage details were kept intact to reference the home's original character.
A small green roof greets you as you cross the bridge from the master suite to the main house.

Furnishings meld minimalist lines with period details.
The foyer opens to reveal a first glimpse of the elegant post-and-beam interior. The stone flooring in the entryway was hand-laid during the home's renovation.

A black-trimmed entrance hall lined with mirrored closets sets an elegant tone.
Gorgeous natural light pours in throughout the home.
