We make the interior of the hallway

Any apartment or house starts with an entrance hall, and, therefore, the first impression of a guest's dwelling is formed when they enter it. Many believe that the hallway, along with a balcony and a bathroom, secondary rooms, and especially try, decorating the interior of the hallway is not worth it. This opinion is mistaken, because any room in the house can and should be made original, so that it pleases the eye.

The main quality that should be characteristic of the hallway is functionality. Since in most cases this room is a through passage, the materials used for finishing must be strong and wear-resistant. Here, suitable floor tiles and wallpaper for painting, which will periodically update the interior of the hallway. You can choose a laminate, because this material is quite strong and unpretentious in the care. Parquet coverage, although it will look spectacular, but not practical, and may soon lose its original appearance due to the high passability of the hallway.

It is worth noting that most often this room is small in area. To make the interior of a small hallway as functional as possible will allow correctly selected furniture, with the help of which the room can look not only cozy, but also visually spacious, regardless of its actual dimensions.

The design of the hallway is better to think in such a way that it is in the same style as the living room or another room in which it leads. This will create an interconnected interior of the whole dwelling. Style can be any, depending on the preferences of the owners, from all the usual classical and ending with the avant-garde. It must be remembered that the maximum effect in this case can be achieved only if everything up to the detail will be subject to the overall design. So, carved mirrors in laconic minimalism are unlikely to be appropriate.

Typically, this room gets a minimum of daylight, so the question of lighting should be thought through carefully. A common solution are suspended ceilings with built-in lights as the main lighting and an additional light source near the mirror. The central figure, on which the entire interior of the hall depends, is the closet. Based on its configuration and coloring, it is worth thinking about and the rest of the design. In the same style are selected and small accessories, irreplaceable for the hallway, such as a mirror, a clothes hanger, a shelf for shoes and others. You can put here a small ottoman or a soft stool.

If we talk about the color solution, it is better to give preference to light or neutral tones. Dark colors visually reduce the room, and without that the little-lit hallway will seem even darker, especially when you come from the street. Furniture and other accessories should be either the same color with the walls, or a lighter shade or a close color, so as not to stand out too much against their background. Do not recommend the designers use here wallpaper with a small pattern or bright spots. It is necessary to prefer relative options or wallpaper with a large pattern.

Recently, there has been a tendency to make arched ceilings instead of traditional doors. As for their relevance in the hallway, it is here that they will not only save space, but also visually increase it. In addition, the interesting design of the arch will add a little originality to the interior of the hallway. To differentiate the space separating the hallway from the living room, color solutions or other flooring will also allow.

It is necessary to say that the hallways of modern materials will make it possible, as their owners prefer. A wide selection of finishing materials and a variety of furniture will make even a small entrance hall cozy and comfortable.
