Regarding the repair of walls in the hallway and corridor:

• Wallpaper gluing. It is wise to choose washable wallpaper, as they will provide protection against humidity, which is possible due to the storage of outerwear. Choose vinyl wallpapers and do not worry about anything for a long time. Such an easy way of repair is available to everyone.

3. For narrow rooms, the light is directed to one side.
