Design corridor - options for finishing and photo

The design of the room has an impact on residents, which is why it is important to create a special atmosphere of comfort. It is advisable to distribute the place with practical benefits, especially when it comes to the hallway. Proper design of the corridor in the apartment or in the house with or without a staircase can create the necessary idea of ​​the apartment and the owners at a glance.

Style selection

First of all, it is necessary to determine the style of the hallway. After the final decision is to proceed to the selection of materials and furniture.

It is necessary to rely on the general mood of the apartment. The entrance hall is a place that guests see when they visit your home. We can say that the corridor becomes the personification of the entire apartment and gives a certain idea of ​​the taste of the tenants.

1. Provence. Not popular because of its relatively small practicality, this style will suit people in need of beauty, the hall in this style will become a real decoration of the house.
2. Minimalism. Relevant in apartments with a small corridor. Characterized by the presence of various structures that are of a practical nature (drawers, cabinets). A distinctive feature of minimalism is the absence of a large number of ornaments and bright details.
3. Classic. This type of decoration is not very practical if there are children or active animals in the apartment. In the presence of such factors, there is a risk of additional unplanned waste, because the classic involves the purchase of expensive furniture, various accessories (figurines, paintings, stucco), as well as the use of very expensive materials for decoration.
4. Country In many respects, it is consonant with Provence, the difference is in the use of fewer parts, wicker elements of the decor (baskets, furniture) are used, a great emphasis on practicality. This type of room will look more harmonious if the kitchen is decorated in the same style.
5. Modern Dark colors prevail, lighting devices (in large quantities) act as additional accessories. The use of decorative arches is permitted.

After the owner has decided on the choice of style, based on their goals, you should pay attention to the colors and materials for decoration.

Color spectrum

It should be borne in mind that the hallway has its own range of permitted colors, deviations from which are determined by the chosen style.

Common colors for the interior of the corridor include:

1. Often the basis is white and black, in various percentages. It is desirable to use white or light shades, if the size of the room is small. Black in this case acts as a frame for the main shade.
2. Use of sand, gold, beige is allowed. To create a cozy atmosphere, such colors as peach, pink, lime, blue and others are often used.
3. You can combine dark and light colors, preferably the colors of natural, natural materials (wood, stone). In this case, the use of bright details will be superfluous.
4. If the owner decided to create a bright mood, it is allowed to use rich saturated colors (green, red, purple, yellow). The main thing in this business is not to overdo it, unnecessarily bright colors can cause fatigue and negatively affect the psyche. It is recommended to apply bright shades as original inserts or details.

It should be understood that the color becomes the basis, creates a mood, you must carefully approach the choice.

Material selection

It is recommended to use as a material for wall finishing:

1. Wallpaper. Applicable for a variety of styles, including expensive classics. Such material is subject to easy replacement. There are various options that simplify the cleaning process (acrylic, vinyl or glass wall), this quality can be considered useful and practical, especially in a private house.
2. The walls of raw materials, which include: stone and brick. Caring for such material is very complicated, but the owner will be able to evaluate the aesthetic component: such materials look impressive in a residential area.
3. Coloring the walls. This option has a small number of advantages: low cost. The room itself often loses its attractive appearance.
4. Wood panels (allowed to use material that imitates natural wood).
5. Wall panels under the stone.

It is allowed to combine several options (pasting one wall to another color, using several materials: stone top and panel bottom), this option will help to create a unique atmosphere.

Selection of flooring

It is recommended to choose as a floor covering:

1. Artificial wood panels;
2. Ceramic plates;
3. Stone floor;
4. Linoleum;
5. Laminate;
6. Parquet.

The main characteristics that the coating should have are resistance to dirt, moisture (which is why the use of natural wood is not desirable) and mechanical damage. If the owner can not make the choice on his own, it is allowed to contact the specialists (sellers of salons, who were chosen when searching for materials for flooring).

Furniture

It is advisable to use natural materials: wooden and wicker furniture. Do not use plastic and forged products (with the exception of hangers, as well as furniture designed for the classical style), they will give the interior too heavy or cheap.

If the corridor is located in a small space, it is worth using it with the greatest practicality, avoiding unnecessary clutter.

Practical hallway furniture options:

1. A thoughtful solution would be to use a dresser. It takes up less space than a closet.
2. Popular is the use of a special basket for shoes.
3. It should be placed in the hallway hanger for clothes, in this case there will be no need to use cabinets.
4. It is worth paying attention to special benches and ottomans for hallways. Most of them have built-in cabinets and shelves, which allowed to store shoes.
5. An irreplaceable option would be to appeal to the overhead shelves. Thus, the space will not be littered, and the excess will be hidden from the guests' eyes.
6. For convenience, you can be placed in the interior of the armchair. If the house has a staircase, it is worth using the space under it with greater practicality: arrange shelves or cabinets, hangers or chairs.

Thus, the owner can save space without losing the quality characteristics of the interior.

The choice of lighting

Lighting plays a significant role, regardless of the size of the room, especially lighting requires a long and wide or l-shaped corridor.

The most popular lighting options include:

1. The use of chandeliers (a mandatory attribute of the classical style), special lamps. It is desirable to make the central lighting, then the square corridor will seem complete and thought out to the end.
2. Spot lighting is a defining element. Illumination of frequently used objects (cabinets, mirrors, shelves) is recommended. If the house is a staircase (close to the hallway), it is worth considering the option of multi-level lighting. In this case, it looks spectacular lighting steps or rails.
3. The use of LED lamps is allowed. Calculate the power in advance: the hallway should be lit enough.
4. It is necessary to use wall lamps, such an element is able to set the tone for the setting, to give the necessary saturation.

Do not forget about the details:

1. A good option would be to use all kinds of plants.
2. Mirrors are able to expand the boundaries of the room visually.
3. Do not skimp on the decorations: paintings, small figurines, baskets for things.
4. The use of decorative hangers and shelves (stylized as an untreated wood), unusual lighting fixtures and decorations (Chinese lanterns, bottles of alcohol, voluminous paintings) can be considered an original solution.

All these details and ideas can create a complete picture of the interior, which is why it is very important to give them a sufficient amount of attention. Only then the design of the hallway, created with special diligence, will please you for a long time.
