The corridor is not only a narrow passage, but an original functional place in the apartment of the
. The corridor is not exactly the same as the entrance hall, although in the standard "Khrushchev" this concept includes both. In many panel and private houses under the corridor is meant some narrow continuation of the hallway, a long passage connecting the other rooms in the apartment. Sometimes it is also called school because of some similarity. In this part of the housing it is inappropriate to put a cabinet. This is more suitable for example, a classic coat rack.
Of course, if there is an opportunity, I would like to design a corridor design with more functionality, to allocate, to make not like everyone else. All this can be solved with the help of simple tricks. One such technique is to place the library along the wall. If you have many books and you like to read, then from the hallway you can make a very cozy, albeit small library. To do this, a narrow bookcase with a width of one book is tied to the wall, and it is backlit. Throughout the length, several racks can be installed, and their intervals can be equipped with a small bench or a soft pouf. And in the end you will get a place for reading or for a short reception of guests. Due to the rack, you significantly relieve the rest of the rooms in which you previously stored books.
Instead of book shelving, a free wall can also be equipped with a large number of shelves. Installing the backlight with guide light, you and your guests will admire antique souvenirs, the results of your creativity, cups or letters in the original frame at the entrance.
If you still do not have enough space to install the library or the exposition do not despair! An original solution is also available for such a narrow room. Fill the walls with a variety of paintings or family photos of small sizes in a homogeneous framework. This will turn your anteroom into a real "family" gallery.
Decoration of the corridor
If you can not afford to install a hanging ceiling with built-in lamps, you can hang special lamps along the wall, at the same distance from each other.
Do not be afraid to experiment with light - the corridor design allows for all kinds of options. One of the uncommon options for placing lamps - a little above the skirting. But in this case you still have to install an additional lamp or chandelier.
The most common method of decorating the interior is to install the entire length of the wall of narrow long or short shelves. Such shelves usually decorate with something light and unbreakable. Instead of open shelves can be attached closed. They perfectly serve as a place for storing every little thing like keys.
Sometimes inveterate fans of the flora "give" the walls to houseplants. To do this, attach the right amount of metal holders under the pot flowers to the wall.
Another hallway can be decorated with the help of original floor tracks or rugs. The method is classic, but always up to date. As mentioned above, the corridor is a dirty area, and in order to maintain freshness, you must carefully monitor the cleanliness of the flooring. In this case, all the advantages of small rugs, because they are much easier to wash( some are suitable for washing machine) than placed along the entire length of the track.
Thus, we listed only the basic techniques of the original finishing of the narrowest room in our home. We see that the design of the corridor can perform not only an aesthetic load, but perform full-fledged functional duties, despite the small size.
