Modular paintings in the hallway and corridor (photo)

The house begins with an entrance hall. Spacious, regular in shape, with good original space or small, narrow, not well lit. In both cases, it must be a worthy vestibule of the home, where the disadvantages are skillfully offset by its advantages. Just in this way, corrections of problematic issues can become Modular pictures in the hallway.

Selection and placement of modular paintings in the hallway

In order for the picture to fit harmoniously into the interior, you need to adhere to the general rules for the selection and placement of images.

• Of great importance when placing modular paintings in the corridor is the geometry of the room. Properly selected and suspended compositions can visually correct space errors. For example, vertical narrow modules located at a short distance from each other create the effect of high ceilings, while horizontal ones make the room visually wider and more spacious.
• The nuances of perception and how organically the image will fit into the overall hallway and corridor design. The reference here should be an imaginary line running in the center of the picture. The classic version of the placement of paintings is 152 cm from this line to the floor. That is, the center of the picture should be located slightly below the level of the eyes of a standing person.

• The choice of plot is limited by the function of the hallway, most often utilitarian, and therefore works of serious content will be inappropriate here. Deep dramatic plots claim attention and thoughtful contemplation, which the very purpose of the hallway as a transit room does not have. The most suitable subjects here may be abstraction, landscapes, ornamental images, urban views.

Tip. Modules with family photos of your favorite people will be pleasing to the eye and arouse warm memories, for example, located on the wall opposite the banquet for changing shoes or the front door.

• Pictures with modules of the same size can be placed symmetrically on the grid: the modules are arranged at regular intervals on the same line. Small modules can be grouped around a central one in the sense of a larger image, or you can shift the semantic center by about 30 cm to the right or left. If this is a diptych of different-sized modules, a larger one can be slightly better than a smaller one.

Important. Near the high cabinets do not hang pictures. In the space between them and in other niches, the paintings are most likely to be invisible, lost and will not justify the function assigned to them.

• The backlight significantly enhances the effect of the perception of any picture. Especially when it comes to the picture in the corridor, where natural lighting, as a rule, is practically absent. It is best to use halogen bulbs with stable light and improved color reproduction for backlighting. The image under such lighting does not fade. The light of the lamp is adjusted until the excess glare and shadow disappear in the image.

Tip. The modular image, located above a low wide chest of drawers with two lamps on the sides and illuminated from above, will decorate any hallway.

For the purity of the experiment, we will consider how modular paintings for a hallway are selected, and their photos in polar situations - in a spacious hallway and a small narrow corridor.

If the hallway is narrow and small

A small space always requires a lot of attention and scrupulous approach. What and where to place, how to combine objects and decor elements, and is it necessary to place something at all in a tiny corridor?

A small hallway is not an easy case. And even if it is also narrow, the task is doubly complicated.

And yet, the narrow corridor is not a sentence, but an occasion to think carefully. Like that:

1. Small space. We choose vertical modules in bright colors with a simple plot that does not pretend to a deep understanding. After all, as you know, "the big is seen at a distance", but we do not have it.
2. Low light. Not so often there are hallways in apartments with a typical layout with a window. There is practically no natural light here, and electric lighting is not always involved. Let’s leave the cases with simultaneous ceremonial illumination throughout the apartment in Mexican series. The real situation in life is artificial lighting, turned on as needed. That is, all interior tricks for the most part are wasted in such a semi-illumination. Here you can not do without the special highlighting mentioned above. Natural light from neighboring rooms and local lighting above the paintings will enliven the small corridor and make the modular picture an active participant in the interior ensemble of the apartment.
3. Visually, the shortcomings of a narrow hallway can be corrected by hanging a diptych of two large and bright modules on its front side.

If the hallway is big

At first glance, choosing a picture in a spacious hallway seems a simple matter. However, correctly managing such a luxury as free space is no less difficult task than arranging a small corridor. All nuances require attention: not to be mistaken with the subject of the image and the number of modules, to choose the right place for the picture, not to lose money with the color scheme. The arrangement of furniture, the color scheme of the hallway, the overall interior style and mood of the picture, lighting - all the details should fit into a beautiful puzzle.

Tip. The modular image in the large hall has the right to be large and bright. Everything contributes to this - space, lighting, the presence of furniture and other decor.

How can you arrange the paintings in such a hallway? Take note of a few helpful suggestions.

• A polyptych of different-format parts located along a long, narrow hanging chest will look beautiful. Subjects here can be completely different: from a collage of photos of dear people to views of the metropolis or natural landscapes. It all depends on the interior style of the apartment itself.

• If there is a sofa or chair in the hallway, in front of them a large bright diptych or triptych with a large-scale image can be permissible. Note - it is a large-scale, large, but not thoughtful and capacious plot. Paintings for contemplation and reflection is best left for the living room.

Tip. For the same reason, you should not get carried away with 3D images, especially abstract subjects. Unclear, foggy tunnels, geometric labyrinths and chaotic circular influxes can cause alarm and scatter attention.

• A simple and win-win placement option: on one wall - one painting, occupying no more than one third of the wall area.
• A long and narrow hall can be effectively beaten by modules of the same size, placed symmetrically along each wall. The plot theme is concise and unobtrusive: ornamental drawing, symbols and abstractions, photos and engravings.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that the entrance hall is the preparatory, service part of the apartment, it does not have the right to be ill-conceived. Attention to interior details of the hallway and healthy scrupulousness in the choice of decor characterize the inhabitants of the apartment as people with good taste.
