The main components of the corridor interior. Floor
The practicality of the facing material is the main criterion, from which the floor covering for the corridor is chosen. It is very important that in the future the floor is as less resistant to abrasion, it is resistant to moisture and easily cleaned. Under all these parameters fall laminate, ceramic tile and linoleum. Modern manufacturers offer the widest assortment of textures, colors and types of these special coatings, so you can easily find something original in your pocket.
If your hallway is narrow, its width can be visually enlarged by the way of laying ceramic tile or laminate in the transverse or diagonal direction. And if you decide to lay linoleum, then you can choose the appropriate picture.
It is visually possible to expand a small corridor with the help of the correct selection of colors. Remember that the pattern or color of the floor should be correctly combined not only with the walls, but also with furniture, which will eventually make the room much more spacious. For this purpose, an entrance hall, the design of which is made in light colors, will also suit the elegance.
Walls
The corridor is the most "dirty" zone both in a private house and in an apartment. Therefore, the walls should be stable and "non-sticky" wallpaper. If you decide to paint them, then know that this is the most expensive of all the finishes, becausemost hallways in the usual Khrushchev or other panel house, unfortunately, need to be leveled - expensive and long work. Therefore, wallpaper is usually glued in the hallway. Becausethe soiled outer clothing often leaves a pollution in the bottom of the wall, then many advise to make a hallway panel. To do this, retreat about a meter from the baseboard upwards and apply the paint to this "vulnerable" zone. The paint can be taken in one tone with the floor or slightly darker, so that the dirt spots are not so noticeable. Such a panel can be turned into a real designer highlight of the interior with the help of decorative stone, plastic, wood or drywall.
Let's go back to the wallpaper. Walls can be pasted with special detergent, with a non-uniform pattern, for painting or embossed wallpaper, imitating plaster or brick. Often modern interiors are decorated with liquid wallpaper. To do this, it is enough to buy a special roller and with its help to apply at least an author's ornament.
The general background of the hallway can be revived with the help of photo wallpapers, but they are glued only when there is an empty wall in the corridor.
Ceiling
The cheapest and easiest option for finishing the corridor ceiling is whitewashing. On the previously ground and even ceiling, a whitening mixture is applied. Do not forget that with the addition of a coloring powder, you can specify any color in this facing mixture of the ceiling.
Another common way of finishing is painting. On technology, this process differs little from whitewash, except for the coloring matter. The hallway, the design of which assumes the presence of different colors, often uses this method. Following the design idea, in the modern market, you can easily choose the right tone.
In our time, very many for the finishing of the ceiling part of the hall choose stretch designs. Even in a small room it's easy to install a stretch ceiling. But you have to entrust this business to professionals who will have only a few hours to install the passage room. For a small corridor, designers recommend a glossy stretch with small spotlights, placed not along the perimeter, but along the middle line of the ceiling. The mirror surface in such a case visually will greatly expand the narrow corridor. In addition, the stretch ceilings slightly lower the bottom, but only 3-4 cm.
Furniture
Once you have finished repairing the floor, walls and ceiling, you need to think about furniture. Modern designers unanimously shout that the hallway is not a place for storing clothes, tools and other everyday things. But if you can not imagine a corridor without a closet, then it is best to replace it with a modern closet. And if the role of the cabinet was performed by the built-in niches, then they can be replaced with a "compartment", inside which your things will fit on convenient shelves and hinged hangers. Place the mirrors on the doors of such a cabinet, although it will not be an original design idea, but it will perfectly increase the volume of the room. Also in the corridor you need a place where you can sit down. For this purpose, a soft low seat will suffice.pouf, on which you will be comfortable to change shoes, throw a bag or just sit in wait for other family members before going out.
Not the last, but literally the first place in our house is occupied by an entrance hall, the design of which requires the same attention as the rest of the room. Making up a simple interior plan, you can uniquely design this portal between the outside and your own world.
