Ideal is the option of demolishing the wall between the 18-meter living room and the corridor. The total space increases by 3.5 square meters.m. But because of the cramped living conditions, rare families can afford not to use this room as a bedroom.
So, at the beginning of the repair it is worth considering whether you have the opportunity to deal only with the decor or there is an urgent need to place in it some things.
In order to simply refine the "tunnel", making the repair in the long narrow corridor , it is worthwhile "breaking" the floor into several parts by using different floor coverings. Near the entrance door, it is rational to put a tile( possibly placing a "warm floor" under it), and on the rest of the area be guided by the general concept of the interior.
Lamps in the long corridor
The multi-level ceiling also necessarily contributes to the repair of the long narrow corridor( see photo).In addition, it allows you to place a sufficient number of lamps, which you do not need to skimp on in such a non-winning room. It is very reasonable to install in a long corridor point light sources that react to movement. This will save electricity, but do not wander the dark corridor, bumping into each other.
Decor
Large mirror surfaces are traditionally used to increase the space of enclosed spaces. Repairing a long corridor in an apartment is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of this trick. Place a mirror from floor to ceiling opposite the door to the room, and it will revive the corridor with daylight. If you frame it with columns, moldings and other decorative elements, a "story" will appear in the corridor.
When natural lighting does not enter the corridor in principle, it is worthwhile to build a false window by placing a natural or urban landscape behind the window glass and hiding behind the decorative curtains light sources with a daylight spectrum. A truly amazing effect can be achieved by placing a blossoming garden or a seashore behind the glass, imitating the full-length windows facing the terrace.
Light wall coverings of any texture will complement the cheerful picture. Reproductions, family photos, small shelves with pleasant trinkets, several books make the room "habitable" and pleasing to the eye.
Furniture in a long corridor
If, when living in such an apartment, you need additional storage facilities, do not make cabinets high up to the ceiling, even very narrow ones. Optimum will be a series of narrow( up to 30 cm deep) chests or pedestals, in which it will be possible to remove a huge number of household things that do not need to be hung on hangers. Their height is not higher than the elbow level of a person of medium height will not create unnecessary psychological pressure.
As the experience of many professionals and fans of repair in the corridor of long becomes a good test of ingenuity. A creative approach to such a non-simple work can create a real miracle as in the photos in the article.
