The entrance hall in any home creates the first impression of the owner of the home. Accordingly, the design of its design cannot be neglected. This article will focus on the most current hallway design ideas, including in 2017. And also, about the existing techniques, with the help of which the room can be easily and originally transformed!

Rules for decorating a modern hallway

The fact that the hallway is the main face of the entire home of its owner is an indisputable fact. Indeed, this room is the first to catch the eye of everyone who comes to visit.

In order to beautifully and originally decorate the interior design of the hallway, absolutely nothing should be a hindrance. And all because it is much easier to equip it than, for example, a living room or bedroom.

In the video review, our designer Marina Svetlova will tell you about the main points that you should pay attention to in the first place:

To keep pace with the times and your hallway was stylish and fashionable, adhere to just a few basic rules that are determined by the 2017 season, namely:

• Furniture, as well as the materials from which the decoration is made, choose the most moisture resistant. Most importantly, what it concerns is the lower part of the walls and floor.
• Ease and simplicity of cleaning. Well, of course, everyone already understands why.
• Resistant to mechanical influences. Indeed, in fact, through the hallway, we constantly not only carry bags with food, bags, strollers, umbrellas, but also a lot of other things. Something is leaning against the wall or placed on the floor. All these factors should in no way affect the rate of wear of finishing materials.
• The issue of environmental friendliness is the most important nuance that is a trend in the modern world of design art.

These are the most basic trends that must be followed when decorating the hallway design so that it turns out to be stylish and original.

2017 - fashion colors

For example, you can create a "canvas" using colors such as:

• beige;
• Gray;
• sand;
• black or white.

Having created it, it will be possible to pick up interesting and vivid contrasts, choosing the decoration of the room.

You can hang a bright picture (with a print), sconces (lamps) with a bright colored lampshade on the wall, or arrange original figurines. The main element of modernity is the creation of contrasts!

A wide variety of photos of the hallway design can be viewed in special catalogs. Today, almost any daring fantasy can be realized. And, thanks to the photo of such ideas, you can choose original design interior, the most suitable for you!

Stylish design is based on the right finish

As already mentioned, the decoration is a canvas to bring the most daring and original design ideas into reality, as well as decorative touches.

Wall decoration

In the design of the hallway 2017, the main trend is combination. Moreover, we are talking not only about paint or wallpaper, which can be combined with each other in color, but also about the materials used for decoration.

For example, for the walls, you can use wallpaper in the upper part of them, and decorate the lower part of the wall with special wall panels.

Yes, yes, wallpaper is still used to decorate hallways, compared to living rooms, which designers have long been recommending to simply paint.

If we talk about the choice of wallpaper, then you should still choose non-woven, vinyl, fiberglass, or acrylic. These options are not exactly cleanable, but should be washed regularly and kept clean - always.

You also need to create an accent wall. It can be decorated with a completely different color (wallpaper or paint), as well as finished with wall panels.

By the way, now there is Wall panels with imitation wood! And this is one of the important and modern trends... Also, are popular and no less modern finishes in the style of rough stone, concrete or brick.

Floor decoration

Hallway design ideas can be absolutely anything. The main thing is to adhere to the basic rules in the design of the entire interior. The main and very important for the room of any hallway is the maximum resistance of coatings (materials) to the effects of moisture, pollution, damage, because in this matter the coatings can manifest themselves absolutely to the fullest.

The most the best solution for floor decoration, it is stone or ceramic tiles. It is a splendor that adorns every room with its appearance, suitable for every style, and also has a very long term operation, and it is quick and easy to clean.

Designers also use laminate, which is stylish and practical option as a floor covering. Photo designs of the hallway, including the design of floors in various ways, you can view in a special catalog.

The modern combination principle is a great way for both walls and floors. For example, at the entrance to the house, you can lay out some part of the floor in the hallway with moisture-resistant tiles, and the rest of it with laminate. Such a combination will be a stylish solution for the room, subject to the correct materials, layout methods and color scheme.

Parquet is also popular. True, in the part of the hallway that is closer to front door, it is not entirely practical to use this coating. But it can also be combined with tiles! The part of the floor that is decorated with parquet will look gorgeous and luxurious.

One of the new modern trends is 3D flooring! And, if you are an extraordinary person, this will be a very bold step in the interior design of your hallway.

Below are the approximate limits of the prices of different floor coverings, in prices, per square meter

Ceiling decoration

When decorating the design of the hallway, take into account the fact that in modern times they are already trying to move away from the most complex structures, including decorative ones, using simple and minimalistic options. Modern people choose simple white ceilings, without anything superfluous!

Also, regarding the choice between hanging or stretch ceiling, depends on the kind of lighting that you would like to make in the hallway. If you prefer built-in luminaires - perfect option dropped ceilings... If you prefer decoration hanging lighting, such as chandeliers or lamps, then choose stretch ceilings.

If the hallway is not big size, a stretch glossy ceiling will look great in it. After all, it is able to reflect light, which means that visually it will help increase the space.

Non-standard hallways

Any hallway can be decorated very nicely, comfortably, stylishly and original. But in order to do everything as it should be, especially when it comes to non-standard options, you should first look at the photo design for the hallway, which can be seen in a huge variety in a special catalog.

Then everyone for himself will definitely be able to determine what exactly he needs!

Narrow premises

If the room is narrow and rectangular, it is worth decorating the walls with light (beige, white, cream or sand colors). Such color schemes, of course, are very easily soiled. Therefore, when choosing materials for decoration, think about their durability, as well as moisture resistance.

Alternatively, a combined style design would be excellent. For example, wallpaper or other materials for wall decoration can be made darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. With this design, pollution will not be so noticeable.

For visual expansion corridor, it is best to use the glossy surfaces of the wardrobe or ceiling. And our partners have already prepared an overview of the new products of 2018, see everything is already in the public domain.

Choosing lighting, the best option would be point. Also, do not forget about the important role of mirror placement in the hallway!

Square corridor

it great option to accommodate everything, including in terms of functionality.

Here, the most excellent option would be - corner furniture... For example, it can be a corner wardrobe (moreover, quite spacious), or maybe a sofa with a bedside table, which will also fit into the corner of the hallway in an original way.

Here the best lighting will be - a chandelier. And modern stylish chandeliers that have an original design decoration and a variety of decorative elements that can radically change any room! The only one important condition for the placement of chandeliers is - the height of the ceilings, which should be slightly different (i.e. higher) than the standard.

Small hallways

In truth, spacious corridors are not very common. But what can you do ?! Since the corridor cannot be made more square meters, then the option remains only to equip a small hallway. But this can be done! Moreover, it will turn out to be very cozy, original, stylish and functional!

To organize a modern hallway interior design, you must follow several important rules:

• Minimalism style is trendy and stylish. There is nothing superfluous, "protruding" in it (the same fittings), the facades are smooth, all forms are quite simple. Thanks to all these qualities, it is possible to visually make the room very "lightweight" and not cluttered.
• Choose light colors for finishing. Light gray or white colors- this is not only fashion for a very long period of time, but also the trend of 2017!
• Don't buy large furniture. After all, you can install a sliding wardrobe, of a fairly compact size, which will perfectly cope with the main task - storing shoes, outerwear and accessories.
• There must be a mirror! It will just perfectly perform the function of expanding the room. In addition, depending on which one you choose, it can give the hallway a rather rich look!
• It is very important to think over the arrangement of lighting fixtures.

Hallway window

This option is quite rare. But it's great when there is a window in the hallway! This means:

• That the room is also illuminated by natural light.
• Additional space for decoration.
• The interior of the hallway can also be diversified with original selected curtains! In this case, they will be directly a decorative element. After all, why darken the hallway? This, probably, would never occur to anyone. Choose not heavy, but also stylish and fashion curtains, in light colors. You can also create asymmetry by grabbing them from one side.

Hallway furniture

Of course, you can view various photos hallway designs. And also, an excellent solution is to rely on your own taste, because then your apartment will be truly unique in terms of interior decoration! But at the same time, do not forget about all the important nuances when choosing materials.

Cabinet selection

For many people, a wardrobe in the hallway is associated with the fact that it should be large and roomy, because it will need to store all the family's outerwear for different seasons!

Of course, depending on how large and roomy the hallway is, you need to choose a wardrobe. If you have a large corridor, you can choose a large sliding wardrobe, including a built-in one, which will be in height - almost up to the ceiling!

When choosing a large wardrobe, decorate its facade in white. And when it comes to washing and cleaning it, you don't have to worry, because modern manufacturers, as a rule, sliding wardrobes are covered with PVC film, thanks to which it is very easy to remove dirt from the product.

Modular systems are very popular today. They can accommodate the storage system in exactly the way that suits you. Of course, for small corridors, such systems may seem too cumbersome. But, first of all, you can always make it "easier" by choosing an open or closed type... And secondly, you can experiment with lighting (i.e. backlighting).

If the hallway is very small, choose cabinets with a smooth surface, on which there will be no extra fittings.

Additional storage options

The storage system in the hallway should be thought out so that not only basic but also additional items (umbrellas, combs, care products and much more) can be stored.

For all this, you can also use:

• Pedestals.
• Tables.
• Shelves.
• Chests of drawers.
• Shelving.

If the hallway allows, then you can use it as an additional storage option. In order not to clutter up the room, choose low furniture or open shelving. For example, a great solution would be to put a low chest of drawers, and a mirror, unusual in its shape, to it.

Upholstered furniture options

The hallway may contain:

• Small sofa;
• Bench or bench;
• Ottomans, and the most diverse different forms;
• Armchair.

Moreover, the use of any of the options for such furniture is very convenient! After all, having come home tired, it is much more convenient and comfortable to sit in soft armchair, to take off your shoes, rather than "wrestle", doing it while standing.

Anyway, soft furniture- a great solution for the design of the hallway. The only question remains is how exactly to place it and which one to choose after all ?!

Hallway lighting

Unlike what the lighting was like before, back in the days Soviet Union, today, designers unambiguously choose and explain to others that lighting can be selected in a variety of ways, for everyone individual interior in my own way. But, in any case, the same room can be visually made in a completely different way, changing only the lighting variations in it!

But as for the hallway - here, definitely, there should be a maximum of light!

Thanks to a competent approach to arranging lighting, it is able to separate different zones the same room. At the same time, attention can be focused on certain delights of designers, and flaws, if any, will be hidden.

In every modern hallway, lighting is made central and auxiliary. In the first case, built-in or pendant lights are installed. Floor lamps, sconces or LED strips are used as auxiliary ones.

If the corridor is square, it would be ideal to hang a central chandelier, and if necessary, it can be supplemented with point inserts led strip or sconce. If the hallway has a rectangular shape, it is better to design it with point built-in or suspended lighting.

As for the LED strip, this is a multi-functional option to accentuate some of the details of your interior. For example, a mirror will look great and original, which will be formed using an LED strip. You can also decorate individual open shelves with it.

Stylish decoration

For stylish decoration of the corridor, there are several original ways.

Architectural decoration

If the size of the hallway allows, you can use fake wall panels or special moldings. In accordance with fashion trends, the choice will be in favor of decoration with natural materials.

This method will allow you to originally emphasize the geometric nuances of the hallway. But if, for example, you create pseudo-arches, you can originally emphasize the taste and sophistication of the owner of the house.

Carpet decoration

Of course, many might think that hallway carpets are not practical at all! After all, dirt from the street, moisture and other factors negatively affect the issue of cleaning them, moreover, they very quickly not only lose their appearance, but they will become completely unsuitable.

But! The point is that the carpet was not around the entire perimeter of the hallway!

It will be enough to put a small rug to create an original decor and additional comfort in the corridor. For example, if you choose a rug that has cross-stripes, this option will even help expand the space of a narrow corridor!

Decorating with lighting

In 2017, sconces with interesting shapes, as well as grotesque floor lamps... Such options are not only practical to use, but also quite decorative.

Moreover, the necessary option for such lighting can be selected for absolutely every style!

Mirrors

This is an essential attribute of any hallway! There can be one or several mirror here, this is already a matter of taste and, of course, the chosen interior design. In any case, mirrors are not only a wonderful decoration, but also a way to visually enlarge the space of a room!

In addition, in the hallway, it is always important to use the trick with mirrors, as an assistant to the light diffuser!

Decor on the walls

When decorating hallways, many designers refuse to decorate the floors. The main reason why this is so is that in small hallways it makes no sense to put unnecessary items that can only clutter up the room and "steal" the already missing square meters.

But as for the walls, they really can be decorated with a wide variety of decoration elements!

Here the choice is only yours! After all, the walls can be decorated with your favorite paintings, professional photographs, your favorite collections, decorative plates that you brought from different countries peace and many others!

Hallway design - the right choice of style

As already mentioned, the entrance hall is the main room that is the face of your entire apartment.

If you decide to decorate the interior of your home in accordance with fashionable stylish trends, then according to the recommendations of the designers, it is necessary that the style of the hallway matches the chosen style and other rooms. This is important for everything to be natural!

But despite this, you can also design any style you like in each of the rooms of your house.

Even if there are some disagreements in the design of styles, then you can use interior doors! And they are produced in the widest range, and you can also make them to order if necessary. As they say, taste and color. And also it all depends on your financial capabilities!

Turn all your ideas into reality, and create your own style, because best design this is the one that suits you. We wish you success and results in your work!

If the theater begins with a coat rack, then in the home, the performance begins in the hallway. This is usually the smallest and most uncomfortable room in the apartment. But even if the hallway is spacious, another difficulty arises - great amount doors. Hallway design is not an easy task, even for 12 sq. m, at least 4 sq. m.

• 1 Furnishings in the hallway
• 2 General principles registration
• 3 Stylistic design of the hallway

Furnishings in the hallway

It is impossible to load this room with objects: firstly, it requires enough space so that 2-3 people can take off their outerwear and shoes at the same time and not interfere with each other. Secondly, guests and apartment owners do not stay here. Thirdly, the abundance of small objects clutters up both a large and a small room much faster than large furniture, and there are many such small things - shoes, bags, hats, and so on.

However, there are several relatively large items that you cannot do without in the hallway.

• Hanger - frame, in the form of a rack, a stand with hooks, a structure with a stand, a chest of drawers and a mirror. As a last resort, even hooks fixed directly to the wall are allowed - in the loft style, for example.
• A hat shelf - it just has to be.
• Shoe rack - in some cases - Scandinavian style, loft, it is allowed to arrange pairs of shoes directly on the floor. But, firstly, a limited number of shoes can be placed in this way, and, secondly, in winter and autumn, boots and boots will be constant sources of dirt, which is unacceptable.
• Mirror - this object, oddly enough, is often neglected, citing the fact that there is no place for it in the hall. The real reason is different: the mirror reflects all the things in the hallway, doubling their number. It usually looks ugly.

If the hallway is spacious, and 12 sq. m is a large area, then other pieces of furniture can be located here, which are not so necessary, but create significant convenience.

• A pouf, a soft seat, and more often a combined model - a shoe rack with a soft top. Taking off and putting on shoes is much more comfortable while sitting. Practice shows that boots and shoes also suffer less.
• Wardrobe - at least looks like a wardrobe with a pull-out hanger, at most like a wardrobe that occupies an entire wall. The choice depends on the number of things that require storage and the configuration of the hallway of 12 sq. m.
• A completely optional, but very attractive piece for the hall in classic style- a chest of drawers with a mirror. Many different little things constantly inhabit the hall: thin scarves and scarves, bags and gloves, keys and key chains, handkerchiefs and newspapers. It is much more convenient to store such things in a chest of drawers.

The ratio, placement and size of objects depends on the style of the hallway. Oddly enough, but it is in this room that the design is determined by aesthetic requirements, not functionality.

General design principles

The modern design of the hallway assumes, first of all, brightness and decorativeness. The functionality of the hall is minimal, while the area of ​​12 sq. m allows quite a lot. On the other hand, the inhabitants of the apartment are here for the minimum amount of time, and, therefore, the brightest and unusual design will not annoy or bother you.

Fashion trends in the design of the hallway offer the following.

• Select the color palette of the hall in such a way that the hallway is decorated with the bright, but darkest of the shades used, and for other rooms, choose more light colors... If the room is separated by a corridor - a kitchen, for example, then its color scheme will be even lighter. This technique allows even diverse rooms to be tied together, giving the home a sense of integrity.

Reception is suitable for classic and rustic styles however the minimalist should be used with care. After all dark color here - gray or black.

• The second popular idea is to design a hallway in the form of a living room. This impression is achieved by setting dressing table with soft pouf, a couch or even a small sofa, fortunately, an area of ​​12 sq. m it allows. A wonderful effect is produced by a rack with books, cassettes, figurines and even some dishes. You can place a photo or watercolors on the wall.

With this design, one should not forget that open frame structures do not visually reduce the space, in contrast to the deaf. Even 12 sq. m, closed glazed sideboards and display tables are not allowed.

• Kingdom of mirrors - best of all, this technique "works" in the halls, where all the room doors open. Such a hallway, even if it is large, turns out to be completely non-functional: there is simply no room for any dimensional furniture between the doors, and a mirror in such a room will increase their number. It is proposed to solve the problem by installing many mirrors - on each room door, and for reliability by placing one of them on the wall.
• Hall as a continuation of the street - very popular design, as it uses a fashionable technique - brickwork. Part of the corners is made out with a stone or its imitation. doorways so that they resemble old houses on a sunny street. All other attributes of the southern town are also present - house numbers on the doors of rooms, lamps in the form of street lamps, pots of flowers in flowerpots on the wall. With such a bright decor, even furniture is not needed.

Stylistic decoration of the hallway

The hall, as is obvious from the above recommendations, either connects all rooms into a single whole, or is such a stylistically separate room that the interior of any room is perceived as the design of another house. For small halls, only the first option is possible. 12 sq. m you can use any.

Of course, this does not mean that in a classic-style apartment, a spacious entrance hall can be made in a loft style. But it is quite possible to choose a close, but more decorative concept.

• An apartment in a classic style is characterized by massive, solid or glazed wardrobes, simple in design, but roomy dressers, and so on. In the hallway, even with an area of ​​12 sq. m such structures look cumbersome. At the same time, the classics do not welcome open shelves. The way out is to create a design in the English style or Provence.
• Baroque, oddly enough, is quite suitable for the hallway. The style also prefers closed furniture, but so elegantly decorated that it no longer matters. At the same time, it is recommended to choose a more strict decoration of the walls and ceiling - one-color plaster, wallpaper with a heraldic pattern, but only two-color. They will serve as a backdrop for the furniture.
• Modern in the hallway is curved mirrors, asymmetrical furniture and delicate finishing colors - lilac, lilac, blue. You can choose a brighter option - with striped colored wallpaper or patterned, but in combination with white lining.
• Provence goes well with the classics and, paradoxically, with the loft, moreover, it is the best style for decoration if the hallway is decorated as part of the streets. Solar warm colors upholstery or bright wallpaper with vertical stripes, white furniture with flowing, old-fashioned outlines, obligatory flowers in a flowerpot and pendant lights - everything is simple and beautiful.
• Scandinavian style it is made out in the opposite way: here a part of the furniture will be colored - a pouf, for example, or carved wooden table, and everything else - walls, ceiling, wardrobe and shoe rack, are made in white. Clothes and shoes are used as colorful elements.
• Minimalism is extremely practical and modest. A small room, and even so utilitarian, he can turn into a kind of metal cabinet. If this option is undesirable, then the design of the hall is carried out in a high-tech style. The latter assumes the use of an accent bright color, which greatly enlivens the space. With a minimum of furniture and simplicity of decoration, the most unexpected elements will be highlighted with an accent color - a geometric pattern on a mirror or wall, one cabinet door, one chest of drawers or a shelf, and so on.

Quite well combined with urban styles, "geometric" modern. A combination of black and white symmetrical patterns with vibrant panels, room doors and finish looks very attractive.

• But in the loft, the hallway will still imitate metal cabinet... A compartment or wardrobe is basically absent here. A shelf for hats is installed around the perimeter of the entire room, a bar is fixed to the wall - also along the perimeter, bypassing the doors, and clothes are hung. The same endless metal shelf is offered for shoes. Wall decoration - plaster and brickwork.

But with any design, it is worth remembering that the true wealth of a 12 square meter hallway is space. Furnishings and furnishings should shape this space, not occupy it. Hall with an area of ​​12 sq. m - an excellent field for the embodiment of fantasies. A spacious but non-living room allows you to experiment with colors and finishes without the risk of irritating families or creating inconvenience. Be bold.

• In what style to design the hallway?

  Style largely determines the color and content of the interior.

  There are many stylistic options for decorating the hallway, but the following are the most popular, due to their functionality and aesthetics.

  Scandinavian

  A style that has gained popularity in our country for the last couple of years.

  It is practical, concise and positive: light walls, bright accents, roomy furniture for storing things. What else do you need for the hallway?

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Loft

  A loft assumes the presence of a single studio space, where all or most of the zones are combined into one. Therefore, loft-style hallways are often just a continuation (or rather, the beginning) of a united living room or studio apartment.

  In the interior of the hallway, the loft style is appreciated for the practicality of materials and non-marking colors of execution.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Provence

  A light palette of shades fits perfectly into small hallways in apartments. Mirrors, decorative shelves, tables, dressers and couches are not only beautiful, but also very useful in the hallway.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Classic

  For those who do not want to invent a bicycle, there is an unchanging classic. In such a hallway, you will surely find solid wood furniture, wallpaper with ornate monograms and exquisite lamps.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Minimalism

  If your apartment or house has a place for a separate dressing room, then you can interpret minimalism in the hallway with a minimum number of items in its interior.

  Another option is also possible: monolithic wall cabinets without a hint of decor, completely covering the walls.

  And then, and then - minimalism, but with completely different tasks solved in the interior of the hallway.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  What color to choose for the interior of the hallway?

  One that matches the colors of the interior of the rest of the rooms, but at the same time remains practical and functional to use.

  White

  For example, white. It visually expands the space and adds illumination even where windows were not originally provided. Combines perfectly with all shades of the color palette. And the practicality and functionality of its use depends more on the material used and its texture.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Black

  Stylish and non-standard solution... More suitable for large and spacious hallways than for small and narrow ones.

  The lack of illumination in such a space must be compensated for with high-quality lamps.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Beige

  A warm, neutral shade that suits most popular décor styles. Beige is not as easily soiled as white, but also not as oppressive as black. Combines with many other colors: brown, light blue, blue, green, burgundy.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Gray

  Gray in the interior is something new and unusual for us. And completely in vain! After all, gray is so versatile and so practical from the point of view of cleaning that it can be used literally in all styles of hallway decoration! From classic to loft, from eco to provence - grey colour appropriate everywhere.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Bright colors

  For those who are interested in more saturated and bright colors in the interior design of the hallway, we have prepared some impressive ideas. Which of them you like and how exactly you can use them in your home - decide for yourself.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  What materials are suitable for the hallway?

  The ones that are easy to wash

  The ones that are hard to damage

  The ones that you like visually

  For example:

  Tile

  It is more and more common not only in the kitchen and in the bathroom, but also in the hallway, since the level of dirt brought on shoes from the street sometimes just goes off scale (and even rugs do not save!).

  But sometimes not only the floor is tiled, but also the walls of the hallway. Fully or partially. Most often, this option is chosen by dog ​​owners and young mothers using a stroller.

  
  

  
  

  Wood

  With the appropriate level of processing!

  The tree is stylistically universal, so it will fit into the classics (in the form of protective panels) and in the loft (in the form of decorative slats on the walls).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Dye

  The advantage of walls painted with waterproof paint (for example, latex) is that they can be washed and, if necessary, repainted.

  Repairing scratches and chips on painted walls isn't particularly difficult either.

  
  

  
  

  Stone

  Expensive, great. The stone is one of the strongest facing materials, therefore, it is not surprising that it is recommended for wall and floor cladding in the hallway.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Metal

  Unconventional material with a limited number of styles in which to look appropriate. But as a radical measure to protect walls from damage from the wheels of a stroller or bicycle, there is a place to be.

  
  

  Not everyone has a spacious entrance hall, especially when it comes to old houses.

  But also in small space you can create an original design.

  You just need to consider little secrets to make the most of the hallway space and put everything you need there:

  1. Use a light palette of shades to design a small hallway to visually expand its space.
  2. Hang a mirror or use mirrored wardrobe doors to visually double your hallway.
  3. There is never a lot of light, especially in a small room without windows, so do not skimp on lamps.
  4. A minimum of details that you can tear your clothes on!
  5. Use functional furniture, designed for a small amount of space: narrow, folding, retractable, etc.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Ideas for the design of a narrow hallway

  The problem of a narrow and long hallway is where and how to place the furniture.

  After all, in addition to how to place things more compactly, it is necessary to solve the problem of smoothing out the large difference in the size of the walls.

  
  

  If the room is too long, then it can be zoned by dividing it into a place for clothes, shoes and a hall. With this task, they do a good job, as well as a combined floor and wall covering.

  
  

  Mirrors that are on longer walls or wall murals with a pronounced perspective will help to visually increase the space. The absence of a long hallway corrects well interior door when the doorway is replaced by an arch.

  
  

  You can use a color scheme to align the rectangle. Lighter tones on long walls will push them apart, and dark tones on narrow ones will bring them closer, visually making the room square and harmonious for perception. You can beat the length of the room with lamps, placing them in the center, leaving end walls in partial shade.

  

  Features of the corner hallway

  Advantage corner cabinet has long been appreciated by the owners of small rooms.

  Sliding wardrobe in the design of the hallway

  It received this name due to the peculiarities of opening its doors, as in a train compartment. Such wardrobes very quickly replaced the usual ones with hinged doors due to their practicality. Both cabinet and built-in wardrobes are suitable in the hallway.

  It has already become customary to place a mirror sheet in the sliding doors of the wardrobe. Thanks to this, the furniture becomes multifunctional, which is important for small areas of the room. V otherwise you can use chipboard or frosted glass with all kinds of patterns. Now furniture makers use various prints on the doors, which not only successfully makes the hallway original, but also visually changes the space.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

Arranging a hallway is an interesting and challenging task. Few of the owners of apartments in old buildings can boast of large areas. So you have to rack your brains: how to place everything you need in a small area, and even do it so that it looks stylish. After all, it is this room that creates the first impression of an apartment or a house as a whole. Therefore, the design of the hallway is a responsible task: the development of interior design may well set the tone for the design of all other rooms.

Narrow hallway

To correctly arrange a narrow hallway, to put it mildly, is not easy. There are few solutions, but there is still a choice. The first way is to figure out which side you can use with furniture. Preferably the one on which the doors are located far from each other. It is worth placing furniture along this wall.

Taking the longest wall under the furniture in a narrow hallway is the right decision

The second option is to use two adjoining walls - a short and a long one - under the cabinet and the hanger. It is also a good option in functional and aesthetic terms.

Place furniture along two opposite walls in narrow room- absolutely wrong: you have to maneuver between them, constantly bumping into corners. To prevent the second wall from looking empty, you can fix a mirror on it, hang narrow wall panels on which to place decorative elements or some little things.

There are several traditional design tricks that allow you to push the visual boundaries, and new developments in the field of storage systems will help you fit everything you need in a small volume.

Walls, floor, ceiling

To visually make the room seem larger, the walls should be light, preferably with a slight degree of gloss. For example, there is textured paints or plaster with a light addition of mother-of-pearl. Glossy ceiling(a weak gloss is more appropriate) - this is usually a stretch. It will reflect light and what is happening in the room, making it more spacious. In the economy version, plastic panels will give a glossy effect.

If you do not like gloss at all, you can do without it, but it is better not to refuse light tones. Moreover, most often colors are chosen in warm shades.

It is desirable that there be both general ceiling lighting, and in some areas. For example, near the mirror. Mirrors in general are a great way to visually enlarge a room, and correctly illuminated, they are also very beautiful.

One of the trends recent years-. Moreover, some of the walls are made smooth - usually painted, and only a part is trimmed with stone. In the photo above, you can see several tricks at once, thanks to which the small-sized hallway looks more spacious. First, a carefully designed lighting scheme provides enough light to create cozy atmosphere... Secondly, mirrored doors cabinets, reflecting the situation, push the boundaries of the room. Third, the vertical columns of raw stone make the ceiling taller than it actually is. Important role also the choice of furniture - the glossy and mirrored surface does not look "heavy", does not load the space. The chest of drawers is selected with a small width. It does not interfere with movement, but performs its functions.

Also note that when designing small rooms, the floor is rarely darkened. If so, everything else - walls, ceilings, furniture - should be very light. Details of a darker color look great on them, preferably in the same shade as the flooring.

Furniture for a narrow hallway

After everything was decided with the color and texture of the walls, the design of the hallway continues: it was the turn of the choice of furniture. Most the best way- order the manufacture of a wardrobe and a hanger in the hallway. Furniture will be made according to the size of your room, individual filling (hangers, shelves, baskets, etc.) will be developed according to your requirements. But such a pleasure is well worth it. More economical option- use of modular furniture. One-piece "hallways" - cabinet furniture of certain dimensions - today are losing more and more to this new type of configuration. The plant is developing a collection of shelves, wardrobes, cupboards, pencil cases, hangers, nightstands, dressers, benches. All of them are made in the same style and color. From such a "constructor" you can assemble what is most suitable for your option.

Two variants of "assembly" from one collection of modular furniture for hallways

In general, you can use not only closed systems storage, but also open. True, only if you are willing to support perfect order: everything will be in sight. But it will be better to dry outerwear in open furniture.

Sometimes the hallway is so narrow that the open cabinet door completely blocks it. Then the exit is with sliding doors... They almost do not take up space. But in this case, it is better to make a built-in wardrobe: with an equal occupied area, its functionality is much higher.

Sliding wardrobe can occupy the entire wall in the hallway or only part of it

This type of furniture is also good in that it can occupy the entire wall, it can be combined with a rack or an open part - a chest of drawers, a shoe rack, a hanger, etc. There is also - they allow the use of two adjacent walls, with which a hull or modular furniture usually fails. They are good for linear hallways.

If space allows, you can do it. It differs from the built-in wardrobe in greater depth - 1-1.2 m is the minimum. But you just cannot imagine how many things are included, and how convenient it is to use it.

Separately, it is worth talking about the place of storage of shoes. For this, there are special shoe dressers or shoe racks. They are of different shapes, they can be built into the hallway or stand separately. The shelves in them can be:

In order not to just take up space, a seat is often made on the top of a freestanding shoe rack. It is both a shoe cabinet and a bench on which it is convenient to put your shoes on.

There is also an option of a round rotating shoe rack, divided into sectors. Compact and convenient solution.

Rotating shoe rack - new in storage systems

If you use at least a few ideas, the design of the hallway will be stylish and comfortable.

Small hallway: layout features

If the area of ​​the hallway is only 4 sq. m, you can't put a lot of furniture in it, because most of the walls are occupied by doors opening into it, there are at least two or three of them. The design of the hallway of a small area is already from the field of art. You have to use any available wall area, because there is very little of it. And here the most the best way out- order the manufacture of furniture. Since the equipment will be small, this will not result in a large amount, but it will be possible to use every centimeter.

First you need to find a place to place the hanger. Take a good look at the room, find an opportunity to put a cabinet or just, and under it - a shoe rack with a seat.

A wardrobe in a corner is a great way to make full use of the available space.

Hallways with an area of ​​4 sq. m - "heritage" small apartments type "Khrushchev". In them, free space is generally a rarity: even for one person there is not much of it, and there is nothing to say about a family. But in any case, the composition of the furniture strongly depends on your wishes, and also on the layout. There are several guidelines that you can heed or not.

Arrangement of a hallway in a private house

If the hallway is spacious, the task is to correctly arrange the desired furniture. Though the best choice there is still a wardrobe, options are also possible in its size and location. The most optimal is the corner one. It allows you to use the area to the maximum, while all things are in their places and at hand.

If you wish, you can separately make a hanger - for "duty" clothes, in which in cool seasons they go out into the yard, and under it - a shoe rack with a seat and the same "duty" shoes.

Positioning the dressing area as close to the door as possible is the right solution

Now about where to place the cabinet or hanger. The answer is simple: as close to the entrance as possible. So that you can immediately take off your outerwear and shoes. For this area, it is necessary to provide a floor covering that will be easy to clean, and at the same time will not allow debris to spread. Usually at the entrance they are laid ceramic tiles or something like that, and on top are dirt mats.

Hallway with stairs

If during the planning of the house it was decided "not to inflate" Technical buildings and the hallway turned out to be small, and even it goes into it, it will be problematic to place everything you need. Especially if the family is athletic and you need to place sports equipment somewhere - skis, skates, roller skates, skateboards, etc. If the design of the stairs allows, the most reasonable option is to arrange a kind of wardrobe under it.

Drawers and just shelves with doors - a lot of things can be placed More convenient pull-out systems separated by mesh dividers - everything is in sight and it is much easier to search
A closet under the stairs is a great way out in a small hallway

In some homes, this area is used to store vehicles for both large and small - prams and bicycles. If bicycles can still be left in a shed or garage, then it is simply impossible to do this with a baby stroller. And often for this "vehicle" the most convenient place is under the stairs.

Perfectly positioned in the hallway:

Stylish corridor: hallway interior design 9 sq. m

9 m 2 is enough for a hallway. Such an area makes it possible to embody unexpected ideas and make the corridor bright and interesting. If the area of ​​the hallway is 9 squares, then it is either much wide and at the same time short, or, on the contrary, is quite long. And its design depends on what form such a space has. Each individual case must be considered carefully. If the hallway is long and not wide, the goal should be to free up space.

To do this, you need to choose the right ones:

1. Finishing building materials.
2. Color palette.
3. Furniture items.

The decoration should be laconic, since textured and complex materials visually reduce and reduce the space, so the hallway can become even narrower and smaller.

So, you can lay linoleum on the floor, as well as a laminated board, parquet, placing the planks only across (if placed longitudinally, this will narrow the room). Walls can be decorated with decorative paint or plaster, moisture-resistant wallpaper is suitable, and preferably plain or with barely noticeable, discreet prints.

The ceiling surface can be painted or whitewashed, this will not overload it, will not reduce the height of the ceiling. But, if the height is normal, you can arrange a suspended ceiling. Concerning colors, then it is advisable to dwell on light and calm shades, such as natural or pastel. Beige, lilac, sand, milk, pistachio shades will look good. Dark tones, firstly, will make the corridor gloomy, and secondly, they will hide precious meters.

If the footage of the hallway is 9 m 2, and it is rather narrow, then the furniture can overload its design, so it is better to either completely abandon the furniture, or make it minimal. Even the shelves can interfere with free movement and visually reduce the corridor.

The light must also be well thought out, it can be central. So, an excellent solution would be to place a small and bulky chandelier, a lamp that will be as close as possible to the ceiling surface, approximately in the middle of the room. In addition, it is desirable that it have several bulbs directed in different directions, this will not only provide sufficient lighting, but also slightly expand the walls, albeit visually.

It's better to forget about accessories. The maximum that is acceptable is 1 medium-sized painting on one of the walls and, of course, a mirror. Everything should be in moderation, no piling up, it should be convenient for people to undress or get ready for work, for a walk.

What to place in a square hallway of 9 sq. m

The hallway is a visiting card of the owners of the property and the entire apartment. Of course, its arrangement is the most important task and rather difficult. One of the points that you should pay attention to when designing a corridor is its shape.

Narrow rectangular corridors create certain problems in their arrangement, as mentioned above. Square hallway, more the best option, it is easier to equip it, no matter how big or small.

For a modest size of a square hallway, the base is the minimum in everything. The less detail, the better. You can "push apart" the walls using a wardrobe with a mirrored surface. If a large square hallway is being set up, it is realistic to create from it not only a place for storing things and shoes, but also an ergonomic space where you can freely receive a guest.

Enough to place in the hallway:

• Hanger;
• Compact sofa;
• Coffee table.

To visually stretch the walls of the corridor, you can place oblong rectangular paintings, a row of photos or a mirror on them rectangular... A square hallway requires special furnishings, but by approaching the process responsibly, you can get a functional, aesthetic and comfortable room.

Furniture needs to be arranged correctly, the main thing is not to overdo it, there should not be a pile-up and feeling of tightness, discomfort. Everything is only the most necessary.
