Corridor and hall as a functioning space
Each apartment has the so -called hall or corridor that connects several rooms. And the saddest thing is that most families do not use these extra square meters or do it wrong. Not beautifully designed corridors are a natural component of most Russian dwellings, and it does not matter what the size of the apartment itself. Of course, almost no one can boast of wide corridors with natural light that show us in pictures in magazines or on designer sites, but even a narrow small space requires a little more love and attention than you pay him. Here are what tips we can give you, so that you can decorate the corridor.
one. Decorate the walls. The cheapest way to decorate the walls is to paint them or stick wallpaper for painting and then paint. Cheap wallpaper with patterns and drawings in the corridor to use risky. Better make one -color walls and then set them with decor. Try to use light palettes to expand the corridor and make it brighter.
2. Make the floors. Another classical tradition of Russian families is the use of linoleum in the hallway and corridor. This, of course, is a very cheap material for the floor, but it is quickly abrasion. And in view of the fact that the corridor is the most passing place, you will begin to feel how the coating fades after the repair a couple of months after the repair. We advise you to use durable materials in the corridor, such as parquet, linoleum or tiles. These are the floors that will not force you to remake the repair over and over every few months.
3. Add architectural interest. A great way to add the nature and interesting appearance of your hallway or hall without adding excess skin is to use stucco molding or other panels. Certain options for horizontal borders can be quite useful for the interior. For example, you can divide the wall with a stucco border into two parts horizontally, leave the top light and the bottom is dark.
four. Corridor Gallery. The corridor can be a great place to display personal collections of paintings or photos. Guests will be able to appreciate your family pictures or drawings of your children, and if there are no, instead of them you can use your favorite reproductions, posters and other art objects. Send a collection of masks collected during travel or even photos collected from Instagram to the wall in the chole. In any case, do not leave the walls of the hall empty.
5. Make the space function. If there is at least a little free space in the corridor, use it. For example, in the corners you can place book shelves or coffee tables. If your corridor has at least some wide part, then it can be equipped as a recreation area, putting it, for example, a sofa with a table and hanging a TV on the wall.
6. Never forget about the light. May your entire corridor be well lit.
