Finishing materials
In the corridor it is important to use wear-resistant finishing materials that are easy to clean, because here we go in outer clothing and dirty shoes, bring bags from the street, let in pets and put bicycles.
On the floor it is necessary to put a tile with an index not lower than 3, at the same time it is best to use porcelain stoneware. In spacious private houses, the hallway design can be decorated with hand-made floor mosaics. The decor can be laid out only in the center of the hall or along the entire corridor. Such a beautiful design can be chosen absolutely to any style of the interior, you just need to buy a ready-made set of floor tiles with a pattern.
As an alternative to ceramic tiles, a strong laminate of thick plates is placed in the corridor. The foundation under the tree is suitable for cottages in the classical style, as well as for those houses in which naturalness, simplicity and environmental friendliness are emphasized.
Walls in the lobby should also easily carry damage and scratches, so use:
- vinyl wallpaper;
- decorative plaster;
- waterproof paint;
- liquid wallpaper.
Furniture and decoration
Comfortable hall design assumes the availability of roomy furniture for clothes, shoes and household items. In a private house, the spaciousness of the room allows you to put an extra sofa or couch, hang a high mirror and arrange a chest of drawers.
Cabinet can be completely closed or include a section with a coat rack for clothes, bags and umbrellas. If the corridor is rather narrow, use the closet, and expand the sliding doors with a mirror. The photo shows a good example of the design of the hall with a high cabinet with different sections.
If you are planning a hallway design in a cottage with a ladder, this detail of the interior also needs to be effectively decorated. Now designers advise to equip stairs with spotlights or cables - so it will be not only beautiful, but also safe. The space under the stairs serves as an excellent closet or a bookshelf. Another step in the organization of the boxes will be the steps themselves.
Your corridor will become a cozy lounge for relaxation if you plan a hallway design with a fireplace. A decorative, electric or real hearth can combine the hallway and the living room into a single space. The fireplace organically looks in houses, decorated in classical, Mediterranean style, as well as in the direction of the chalet or minimalism.
At the entrance to the house there is usually little natural light, or there is none at all. Therefore, hang a bright central chandelier in the center of the ceiling, and on the walls near the mirrors and the cabinet place additional lamps.
