The modern design of the hallway allows you to feel the atmosphere of your apartment from the first steps, it will be used to judge the tastes and preferences of the owners. The wrong approach to design in this part of the apartment can negate the efforts to create a holistic interior and ruin the first impression.

Whatever modern ideas the design of the hallway did not form the basis of the project; in the pursuit of beauty, one should not forget the main thing - the purpose of this part of the home. People come here from the street, here they take off and leave their shoes and outerwear, often dusty, wet from rain or snow. In addition, umbrellas, hats, gloves, seasonal shoes are usually stored here, if space permits, they equip storage space or even allocate separate dressing rooms, which are used not only for clothes, but also for various household items.

This is the last room in the house we are in before we leave, and the first to which we return. It is also the most "walk-through" in the apartment. Therefore, its functionality should be at the forefront of our attention.

The word "hallway" usually denotes the entrance to the apartment. It can consist of an entrance hall itself, or include a corridor, part of the hall, or the entire hall as a whole. When using open layouts, the hallway is separated from the main part of the apartment using a partition or visual zoning is used.

Modern finishing materials for the hallway

Based on the purpose of the room, materials that are resistant to wear and tear and withstand high humidity should be used in the modern design of the hallway. Basic requirements for finishing materials:

• resistance to wear (especially for flooring),
• ease of cleaning,
• environmental friendliness.

The same requirements generally apply to materials for the manufacture of furniture. Finishing is inappropriate here natural veneer, the use of expensive types of wood - in difficult operating conditions, they most likely will not last long.

The most suitable modern flooring for the entrance area:

• tiles from artificial stone or ceramics,
• porcelain stoneware slabs,
• saw cut of natural stone,
• linoleum.

You can also use high quality laminate flooring that can withstand water. Natural parquet and parquet board use is not recommended - they will quickly lose attractive appearance... For walls, either painting or modern moisture-resistant wallpaper is most often used.

Hallway equipment in a modern style

Modern hallway interior design is characterized by the use of furniture that simultaneously performs several functions. For example, a shoe bench, as a rule, simultaneously serves as a box for storing shoes, an ottoman, on which you can sit down, is a storage for shoe care products, a wardrobe is replaced by a whole storage system in which there is space for both street clothes and sports supplies.

Design and color scheme of the hallway in a modern style

Regardless of the size of the room, minimalism is considered the most suitable style, which allows you to fit everything you need even on a modest area and avoid cluttering it.

Suitable for the design of the entrance area and the Scandinavian style, combining simplicity and environmental friendliness.

Whichever style you choose, you should use a minimum of decorative elements in the interior, trying to ensure that the main pieces of furniture take on a decorative role. For example, a very effective element in the design of a hallway in a modern style can be original holders for clothes and accessories, as in the photo below.

The color combinations used in the design of the hallway in a modern style should contribute to visual increase and adjusting the proportions. In addition, dark colors are not recommended as the entrance area is usually not accessible. daylight and is the least lit.

The following are preferable as basic tones:

• White and its shades (milky, creamy, snowy);
• Beige (coffee with milk, ivory, peach);
• Light gray.

Depending on the chosen style, suitable active colors are selected as additional ones. Beige, for example, goes well with the natural tones of earth, sand, and chocolate. The snow white is elegantly complemented by blue, turquoise and lemon tones. You just need to make sure that they are not too dark.

Exceptions are allowed if the hallway is large or very high ceilings. The simpler the color combinations, the better, too bright colors and sharp contrasts can visually reduce even a very spacious hallway.

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.

Borrow under furniture in narrow hallway the longest wall 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. A glossy ceiling (a slightly pronounced gloss is more appropriate) is usually a stretch ceiling. 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 in recent years is. 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 cabinet doors, 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. The best option is to 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. A more economical option is to use 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 ready to maintain perfect order: after all, everything will be in plain 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, which cabinet or modular furniture usually cannot cope with. 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 best way out is to 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 - the "property" of small apartments such as "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. Although the wardrobe is still the best choice, there are options 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 lay ceramic tiles or something like that, and on top of them there are dirt mats.

Hallway with stairs

If during the planning of the house it was decided not to inflate the technical premises and the entrance hall turned out to be small, and even into it, it would be problematic to place everything necessary. 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.

Hallway decoration in different styles: photo

The hallway can be decorated in any style: classic, provence, minimalism or hi-tech. The choice is yours. To make it a little easier, to understand what suits you best, this section contains photos of hallways of different styles.

Stylish, beautiful, functional - this is the feeling of this hallway design. adds practicality without compromising design.

The entrance hall is where you go when you return home and where you meet guests before they enter the hall. Therefore, it is believed that the hallway is exactly the room that gives the first impression of the house and its owners. Therefore, many people strive to make the hallway more comfortable and beautiful, even if it has a small area.

This room should combine a beautiful interior and functionality, so it is important to pay great attention to its decoration and furnishings. Each small hallway is capable of accommodating medium-sized furniture, so it is important to consider some rules when arranging this room.

Peculiarities

In many Khrushchev apartments, hallways are very small in size. It is the size that is the main feature that must be taken into account when creating a room interior project. When planning, you should follow the principles of a minimalist style. It shouldn't have much small parts... Try not to clutter your small hallway with different elements, especially this rule applies to the arrangement of a one-room apartment.

If you add a lot of decorative details here, such as photo frames, paintings, vases, flowers, and other objects, then it will look untidy and a little ridiculous.

Also, a feature of arranging such a hallway is that all storage systems should be predominantly closed in it. Open hangers create a cluttered feel and make the interior look gaudy. It is better to place all clothes and shoes in closed compact cabinets and drawers.

Hallways for a small corridor should be more compact. Furniture in it should visually expand the space, and not narrow it. Therefore, it is better to give preference to cabinets with front hangers and a shallow cabinet.

Main feature arrangement of such a hallway is the principle of maximum release of space. When arranging, they usually use small cabinets as furniture for storing things, into which all outerwear does not even fit.

Thus, storage systems in such spaces should be kept to a minimum. They can be presented in the form of a compact wardrobe. Such a cabinet is an excellent solution for installation in this room, since it does not require free space for opening doors and is very narrow, therefore it takes up very little space. One more important feature arrangement of furniture and arrangement of a small hallway is what you need to try to be as functional as possible use all corners of this room. This way you can arrange the necessary things in the most compact way and take up a little space.

If you decide to put large furniture in such a hallway, then it should be very functional and contain all objects at once, including clothes.

It is better if the closet inside will have a large number of shelves, drawers, as well as hangers for outerwear and accessories.

Some features should be taken into account when arranging corner mini-hallways. Such small rooms are the most difficult to furnish correctly. But the big advantage of such a room is that you don't have to rack your brains over how to arrange furniture along the corridor. In this case, the main functional content this room is located in the corner. As a rule, a large roomy wardrobe is placed there. It is better to refuse other storage systems in such a hallway.

When arranging a small hallway, some principles must be taken into account. So, all the furniture located in this room should be the same. Try to fit all large furnishings in one storage system, including closets for outerwear, drawers for hats, gloves and umbrellas, and drawers for shoes. In no case should you separate all these modules, since placing them together will take up much less space.

It is better to place the entire storage system in a corner or along the walls adjacent to it. When arranging small hallways, an important rule of softening corners should also be taken into account. It will save every square centimeter of the room and make it more spacious. It is better if the furniture is smoothly located along the entire functional corner and its design will also exclude sharp corners. Smooth lines and compact design- a guarantee of a comfortable interior for a small hallway.

The smallest hallways, which are most often found in Khrushchev buildings, are even advised by designers to redo them. This applies to those rooms with an area of ​​two square meters. Also, a feature of the arrangement of this hallway is the absence of various cabinets of great height, since they clutter up the room. Better to give preference to narrow dressers and shelves.

Never leave your shoes in such a hallway. It is better to install shelves or a convenient cabinet for it. The passage must be vacated even when a small hallway leads into a narrow corridor.

Finishing

When you move into an apartment with a very small hallway, you have to look for solutions that can be used to make it visually wider and more spacious. In this case, you can change the situation with the help correct finish... Initially, you will need to abandon finishing materials that can narrow the area of ​​the room and clutter it up.

Therefore, give up natural decorative stone, panels, embossed wallpaper and other volumetric elements. They hide the area of ​​this room and make it narrower. It is best to give preference to the thinnest wall coverings. Classic wallpaper or regular paint works great.

Pay attention to the color of the coating. It should not add gloom to this room. If you have preferred wallpaper as decoration materials for the walls, then they should be monochromatic.

Try not to purchase bright wallpapers with large patterns.

In a small hallway, it is better to pick up stretch or suspended ceiling. Moreover, it is better if it is light and glossy, since it will allow you to place accents in a room decorated in a minimalist style. In addition, the glossy ceiling allows you to play with the light and fill the entire room with it. Stretch ceilings are only suitable if the height of the room allows it.

Glossy ceilings will also make the room taller and more spacious. Such a ceiling is able to align the walls and give this small room a more correct appearance. In addition, such a coating is suitable for the hallway, since it is easy to maintain. A suspended ceiling will also allow you to create individual system lighting, place light accents in the hallway and fill it with light and lightness.

When finishing, also try to buy only high-quality and durable materials that will retain their original appearance for a long time and will serve you for a very long time. Otherwise, it will lead to a change in the interior and a violation of harmony in such a minimalist design. As for the flooring, it is better to put tiles in such a hallway. It is better if it is made of ceramic or artificial stone. it perfect solution for the hallway, which will emphasize the neatness and severity of its interior.

Ceramics and stone are not susceptible to moisture and temperature changes, they are very durable. Such coatings are also easy to maintain. It will create the perfect ensemble with a glossy false ceiling and make the hallway visually more spacious.

Laminate is perfect as a floor covering in such a room. It is better if it is not dark, lighter with a natural woody tint. It will look very strict and restrained. Such a coating will have a fairly long service life.

Decor

If you want to somehow decorate the hallway, then try to give preference to medium-sized and not catchy elements. It can be a painting with an abstract pattern or a dull image. It is better to use one or two accent elements of small size as decorative elements. The fewer various decorative elements in such a hallway, the more spacious it will seem

A small hallway should have a few decorative elements - this is the main rule when arranging.

Lighting

Everyone knows that in the hallways, and especially in the small standard ones, there are no natural sources of light in the form of windows. That is why it is necessary to properly equip artificial lighting. If possible then it is better to direct the streams of light with diffused light to different walls. This way you can visually expand the space. The hallway can have the main light source - a chandelier with bright diffused light, or it can have additional spotlights.

Some lighting fixtures are located on wardrobes. Better fill this room big amount light rays, using both lamps and lamps or sconces. If there is a wardrobe in the hallway, then it is also better to install a backlight inside it. Additional lighting will never be superfluous in the interior of such a room.

An excellent solution is to buy a sconce with the ability to adjust the brightness of the light. So, depending on the time of day, you can change the brightness of the colors in the room and thus affect the interior of the hallway. It is better if the sconce is located on the walls higher than human height. If there is a mirror in the hallway, then the bar must be hung near it. So you can interestingly place light accents and play with lighting.

Try to illuminate the most beneficial elements of the hallway and darken the least attractive ones. When choosing bulbs, it is better to give preference to LED bulbs with natural daylight.

They are very durable and provide the light needed to illuminate this dark room.

Actual styles

Many people want to decorate the hallway in various styles:

• Most often, a hallway with a small area is decorated in the style of minimalism. In this case, it has a minimum of furniture and decorative elements. Everything that is located in this room is designed to directly fulfill its functions and is not used as decoration. For the arrangement of the hallway in this style, mainly light shades and monochromatic coatings are used. Bright patterns are discouraged. Such a minimalist room is complemented by bright light and pale colors.

• To create an interior hi-tech you need to use more mirrors and glass elements and colors such as white, gray, silver and other inconspicuous shades.

• When decorating a room loft style it is better to use a light metal finish... Such a hallway can have slightly rough interior items, for example, shoe cabinets with raw facades. As a material for wall decoration, bricks or decorative rock under a brick, as well as visualization of unplastered coatings.

• When decorating a hallway in classic style it is necessary to take into account the rule of compliance with strict and correct forms and the absence of unnecessary decorative elements. All lines must be clear and strict. In this case, coverings with light colors and furniture with a bronze and gilding finish are perfect. You can hang a large mirror with a nice bronze finish. The classic allows you to make such a hallway more strict and elegant at the same time, so it is also able to fill this room with space.

• If you want to decorate the hallway in provence style, then this will be an excellent solution for a small room. This is due to the fact that the Provence style is characterized by the use of pastel colors. In this case, only light coatings are purchased as finishing materials. Vegetable elements can be used as decoration. So you can revive a small hallway and at the same time fill it with light. The Provence style is also characterized by the presence of a large number of light sources. They allow you to create a sense of freedom.

Furniture options

As a rule, a small hallway has the shape of a rectangle or square. That is why, when choosing furniture, many designers recommend taking into account the shape of the hallway, giving preference to pieces of furniture that are correct in shape. Therefore, it is better to arrange the furniture in such a way that it makes it possible to bring the shape of the hallway as close as possible to the shape of a regular square.

That is, if you have a rectangular hallway, then the furniture should be placed along one wall so that the free space forms a square.

The furniture that you plan to install indoors should be predominantly modular. This solution will allow you to make a rearrangement at any time and facilitate the interior of the hallway. The best solution for arranging a small hallway is a wardrobe. It takes up very little space and does not require free space for opening the door.

You can also give preference to the built-in wardrobe. It is the most economical in terms of space, but redevelopment must be done to install it. The advantage of sliding wardrobes is that mirrors are installed in many of them instead of a door leaf. This way you can fill the space with light and make it wider.

The wardrobe should be quite high. This is necessary in order to take less area and make the most of the height of the room. It should contain all the necessary elements, such as shelves for shoes, drawers, shelves for accessories, hangers for outerwear and some accessories. Having installed such a cabinet, you can find free space for installing an armchair, ottoman, mini-chest of drawers or other furniture. When arranging this room, pay attention to corner furniture, since it also takes up very little space.

Materials (edit)

When choosing materials, try to give preference to high-quality wear-resistant coatings and facades. This requirement must be observed, since the entrance hall is a room for which sharp drops temperatures. It is best if the surfaces are smooth and easy to clean. Also pay attention to moisture resistant materials.

When choosing furniture, try to give preference to lightweight products that are made using glass or mirror surfaces, as they can fill the room with space.

Color solutions

A small hallway should be light, since such shades can make it visually wider. It is better to use white, beige, light gray, yellow, light blue, milky shades when decorating. Pay attention to light furniture with natural wood facades in milky shades.

Some people claim that guests rate the apartment for more front door... But I would nevertheless transfer the assessment site to the hallway, since the door is still not the apartment itself. So, the first thing the guests see is the entrance hall.

Here they undress and take off their shoes, simultaneously examining with a peripheral vision the design of the hallway in a three-room apartment, the degree of comfort of the furniture and the presence of a mess. The mess is especially depressing. If your shoes are scattered all over the corridor, hats are scattered in the corner, and five jackets are hanging on a single hook, then any of your design efforts will not be worth a damn.

Provide for shoes comfortable shelf, required amount hooks on the wall and a compartment for hats. If there is space, put a wardrobe in which everything will be at once.

The question of aesthetics

If we talk directly about design, then I would recommend to be guided by the rule of "simple and tasteful". It is clear that the average corridor in an apartment does not differ in size. Therefore, there should certainly not be unnecessary furniture here.

I have already said that it would be nice to put a wardrobe in the hallway. But if we talk about the design of the hallway in a small apartment, then here such a closet may simply not fit, and if it does, then you will have to sacrifice precious free space. And this is very bad for a small room.

Further, by operating with different color shades, I propose to do the visual expansion of the hallway. Lean on pastel shades... A great option is a dark floor and light walls. From this, the design of a narrow hallway in the apartment will only benefit. The dark floor will be less dirty from shoes, and due to the contrast, there will be visual expansion walls, from which the room will seem spacious.

Hallway design in a studio apartment

Do I need a mirror in the hallway? This may sound like a silly question, but I suggest not to be categorical. If your hallway is in the vestibule, then the mirror in many cases may be superfluous. In a confined small space, the extraneous presence of your own reflection can simply scare.

And if you get used to it over time, the guests may feel uncomfortable. It is better to place the mirror in the corridor, just before exiting the vestibule. In all other cases, the design of the hallway in the apartment really implies the presence of a mirror. Moreover, the mirror should reflect a person in full growth, which is explained by elementary convenience.

Lighting

Last but not least, you have to take care of light. Since the hallways are small, the more light in them, the better for visual perception.

In addition, people in the hallway are engaged in work with small details, including laces, zippers, fasteners, so an extra light source does not interfere with this. Well, the main lamp should be located directly next to the mirror in order to give yourself confidence with its magnificent appearance in reflection.

Small hallway design

If there is a free corner in the hallway, buy a corner cabinet, it can hold a lot of things and is also compact. Or limit yourself to a shoe rack or dresser.

The door to the next room, which has glass insert, because light will pass through it. In addition to furniture, color will help to visually increase the volume of the room, light furniture and light walls are needed here. Don't forget about good lighting.

Narrow hallway

In such a hallway, it is difficult to correctly place furniture.To achieve this, and besides, smooth out the difference in the size of the walls, you can zone the room. In such a hallway, make a multi-level ceiling, and the walls and floor here can be combined. Among the hallway design ideas, the option with mirrors that need to be placed on long walls, or photomurals with a deep perspective.

If possible, replace the blind door with an arch in the next room. Color will also help adjust the space. Light colors move the walls apart, while dark ones bring narrow walls closer. Also, thanks to the lighting, you can shade end walls, playing on the length of the hallway.

Corner hallway

If your apartment has an entrance hallway in the shape of an angle, and you do not know how to equip it, you can see the design of the hallway in the apartment, the photos of which are available on the website. To rationally use square meters here, buy a corner cabinet, which, among other things, will accommodate a vacuum cleaner and even a children's bicycle. Usually, such a wardrobe is decorated with mirrors, which makes this roomy furniture visually weightless.

Staircase in the hallway

There is usually a lot of free space underneath. Here you can place shelves, hangers. If the living room and hallway are combined with a staircase, you can place books under the latter, equip a reading corner by placing a pear chair and a floor lamp here.

Hallway in Khrushchev

Usually this is a narrow and long room, or just a vestibule with several doors. In this case, either redevelopment or the correct color of the walls will help. To create a functional hallway in Khrushchev, you can take a closer look at the design of the OTO hallway.

Choose light colored furniture, use mirrors. Walls can have a glossy finish and the same stretch ceiling... If there is very little space, instead of a wardrobe, you can hang hooks for clothes and shelves, hang mezzanines under the ceiling, decorating them with an LED strip located below.

The interior of the hallway in the apartment - photo ideas

Do not pile up the room with many different useless and bulky furniture, and in general, the process of choosing it should be approached with all responsibility. Designers recommend removing all doors leading to interior rooms from the hallway and replacing them with smooth arches, especially if both rooms are made in approximately the same style.

Don't forget about correct lighting... The best solution would be to place several small lamps. You can even lay out any straight figure from them. All colors and shades are certainly light. Thanks to these rules, the interior of a small hallway in an apartment will visually transform it into a spacious room.

Decoration of a narrow room

In order to win in space, conditionally divide the room into two parts: the entrance hall itself, which will be designed to receive guests and contain a minimum of furniture, and the hall. This is best done with shades, wallpaper, small paper walls and the like. In this case, the main attention will be paid to the latter.

But it is better to minimize the amount of furniture in both parts. Pay more attention to detail. For example, on one of the walls you can place beautiful drawing: This is a great distraction from a small room. Do not use dark shades, bright, juicy and saturated colors- This is your choice. Well, if you don't feel like experimenting, opt for neutral and cozy pastel colors like beige.

If you are lucky enough to own a two-level apartment or a penthouse, the interior of the hallway in the apartment is special and without outside interference, and you just have to emphasize it. Typically, the hallways in this type of apartment are larger than usual, so the problem of space is not so acute. Regardless, don't get carried away anyway.

The staircase should become the main detail of the interior, so place only the necessary furniture in the hallway, which will really be there in place. Most main principle such a design: the staircase and the hallway must be made in the same style, otherwise everything will look just ridiculous.

Usually the hallway is a dimly lit dark room, and you have to fix it. Just a few spotlights will do the job just fine. The color of the hallway should only evoke pleasant associations and the desire to come back here again and again.

Even if you prefer gentle colors, add a small bright and appropriate spot to the interior of a small hallway in an apartment. It will delight the eye after a hard day's work.

In private homes, the situation becomes a little easier. If you make the front door from glass, the lighting problem will be solved by itself. Then it will be enough to add just one lamp with diffused light.

How to choose the right furniture?

Any furniture should be functional. It doesn't hurt to decorate it in wooden tones - this approach at the same time adds some laconicism and provides lightness to the interior of the hallway of the apartment, the photos perfectly prove this.

Small hallways cannot do without a wardrobe. in which you can hide many necessary things. This thing is especially necessary for busy people: if you do not have time to clean, just close the closet door, and no one will see the chaos reigning there.

To expand the space, you can order a wardrobe with a mirrored door, decorated in light shades.

It is better to refuse small things - they pile up space. You can take advantage of modular designs. This is an amazing solution - several pieces of furniture, compactly combined in one.

Wallpaper for the hallway should not be in any way out of the general range. Too light tones will quickly turn yellow, and too dark tones will visually reduce the volume of the hallway. The best option: stick dark wallpaper on the bottom, and light on top, while the pattern on them should not differ. A large ornament will again narrow the room, while narrow stripes, on the contrary, will expand.

In such a cabinet, you can install many shelves, drawers and hangers, store clothes and accessories on them. For a better understanding, you should look at the photos in stores or on the Internet,
• do not forget that corners are also an important component that each room has, they can be especially fruitfully used in a one-room apartment or a Khrushchev, therefore, instead of a regular sliding wardrobe, it is better to choose a corner wardrobe that will take up a corner and save space,
• additional space in the hallway can be achieved through the use of mezzanines, where things that are not needed constantly are removed.

Selection of finishing materials

If in a one-room apartment or Khrushchev the hallway is too small, then when making repairs, you will need to take this fact into account just during the decoration. In the process of choosing suitable solution you can use photos of finished projects.

First of all, when carrying out repairs, it is necessary to abandon materials that can visually reduce the area even more and spoil the design of a small hallway, for example, a relief stone, panels that are fixed on special bars or on frames.

The best ideas for decorating walls in a small one-room apartment are painting with paints, but only with the obligatory selection of color so that it does not make the room gloomy. Light pastel-colored wallpapers are also suitable, but without large patterns.

Ceiling decoration

It is recommended to paint the ceiling with white paint with a glossy effect or place a glossy stretch ceiling in the hallway, emphasizing minimalism, provided that the height of the room allows this. Glossy solutions will make it possible to visually increase the volume of the room and the height of the ceilings.

To the advantages of a tension or false ceiling relate:

• the ability to align even the most uneven ceilings,
• long time of operation,
• ease of cleaning and care,
• creative lighting.

Floor laying

• ceramic tiles or artificial stone: such materials are simply ideal for a hallway and emphasize the chosen minimalism, they are resistant to moisture and are very durable: these floors are easy to maintain, but experts recommend not laying the entire room with them, but only the space near the front door. Visually, such ideas noticeably increase the space.

Secrets of visual expansion of space and styles

Most best design a small hallway in a one-room apartment is the use of the minimalism style, that is, the minimum amount of decor, and the use of light colors for decoration, plain materials without large drawings and patterns. High-quality lighting with sconces or illuminated niches will also help increase the space.

In addition to minimalism, a small hallway in Khrushchev can be decorated in styles such as:

• classic: if the owner of the apartment prefers the design of the corridor in the classic style, then he should not forget that such a design is distinguished by strict symmetrical shapes, the absence of unnecessary decorations, the desire for proportionality and clear lines. The classics will perfectly complement a small room thanks to the use of light colors in the decoration, decorated with bronze and gilding. In addition, as you can see in the photo, large mirrors characteristic of this style solution will help expand the space,
• Provence: this style is also characterized by the use of light pastel shades of furniture and finishing materials. In addition, they are complemented by plant elements, so a small hallway in a Khrushchev will look more lively. Distinctive feature Provence style is the need to organize the right lighting - a lot of bright light that helps to visually enlarge the room and create a feeling of freedom,
• Japanese style: the photos perfectly demonstrate that such a solution is characterized by a simple finish, simple clear lines, the preservation of the geometry of the room in the ornaments and the absence of defiant details. Also, this style involves the purchase of a minimum number of pieces of furniture - only the most necessary. This approach helps to relieve the space of a small hallway and make it more spacious.

Furniture selection and furnishings

You shouldn't force a small room with a lot of furniture. The best solution is to equip the room with a wardrobe built into the wall, but this will require a small redevelopment. A mirror can be placed on the cabinet doors, which, as already mentioned, will expand the space despite all the minimalism.

If suddenly one cabinet does not contain everything the owners need, then there are other solutions:

• if there is a free corner, it can be equipped with corner furniture,
• for everyday clothes, you can pick up a hanger rack, provided that there is simply no place for a closet. Finding a suitable design and material is not at all difficult,
• for shoes, you can choose a shelf with a large capacity and at the same time quite compact in appearance.

When renovating an apartment, it is important to take into account that one should not get out of the general design. For convenience, it is better to abandon the doors, replacing them with drywall arches.

Organization of lighting

When drawing up a design project, a small hallway requires Special attention to give the organization of lighting. Natural light hardly reaches here, so you need to think about the appropriate degree of illumination of the room so that the corridor does not become a gloomy cave. There will be very little light from one chandelier on the ceiling, which means that you will need to create a comprehensive project for placement lighting fixtures in a small hallway.

In this situation, preference is given to wall lamps in the amount of several pieces. They can be sconces near the mirror. Light accent ideas involve lighting the most advantageous parts of the room, while the unattractive parts are recommended to be darkened.

Entrance hall design - "vestibule".

One of the significant drawbacks is the small area.

A wardrobe in the hallway can be a good ally for you in the fight for injustice. If you are not attracted by this option, you can buy an ordinary cabinet, but a prerequisite is mirrored facades.

Mirrors are the best helpers in visually increasing the space. Therefore, if the second option did not suit you, you can hang a large mirror in the hallway, which will visually make the room larger.

Long and narrow hallway design.

The first association that arises when looking at such a room is a carriage. People mistakenly believe that such a design of a long hallway is impossible. But you only knew how wrong they are! In fact, everything is fixable, it is enough to divide the room into separate zones.

How to do it? With the help of floor coverings. For example, ceramic tiles or linoleum are suitable for the entrance area, and parquet or laminate for the hall. Cabinets are contraindicated for narrow hallways, the most optimal options are hangers with decorative panels and lower pedestals.

Design of a long and wide hallway.

It would seem that this is the ideal hallway. But not everything is as it seems at first glance. A large room threatens with an uncomfortable void. We can offer you an option that will save you from this unpleasant situation.

Imagine a beautiful arch that divides the hallway in two. Now your hallway has turned from a large and gloomy corridor into two cozy small rooms- a hallway itself and a neutral room that you can use as you wish.

In a neutral room, you can put chairs, a coffee table, hang sconces on the walls. Or equip it as a dressing room. As you can see, one arch can add another additional room to your apartment.

Design of a square hallway.

This is exactly the option when no boundaries can constrain your imagination. With a huge selection of bright colors and finishing materials, you can give preference to exactly what suits you. To correctly furnish square hallway, you can do without introducing design and interior into the dense forest.

But we can give you one piece of advice: take a close look at the corner arrangement of the furniture. Such an option is impossible better fit to this kind of hallways. Modern headsets include several wardrobes and an open hanger-style section. If space permits, it will be useful to purchase a chest of drawers for shoes. The main plus is that your shoes will stand in the right place, and not "walk" along the entire corridor.

Design of an open hallway.

This is a fairly common option, which can most often be found in studio apartments. What could threaten such dwellings? Illiterate apartment design! If the interior is chosen radically incorrectly, there may be a not very pleasant feeling of entering the kitchen or living room from the doorway.

It is uncomfortable to be in such a room because of our psychology. But you can deceive nature and choose the appropriate furniture for the living room and use the well-known savior-arch, which will solve all problems in this version.

If you have decided on the look of your hallway, it's time to talk in more detail about the color scheme.

Color scheme for hallways:

• It is the color scheme that curls what your hallway will be like: cozy and light or annoying and cold.
• The main condition is the well-known combination of colors and shades.
• There is a certain system of brightness. For example, it is better to perform the lower zone in darker colors, the middle in lighter ones, and the upper one in the lightest ones.
• Don't play too much on contrasts.
• It is important to know that the character of a color is directly determined by the carrier materials, which can be very active and powerful in your design. Example: if we are talking about passionate red, it can be beaten with the help of bright fabrics, alkyd enamel and other materials with a similar color. But for the hallway, it is better to opt for red brick or clay products.
• As a rule, hallways are small rooms. To visually enlarge the space, you should choose light colors.
• The contraindication acts only on the vestibules, "vestibules", which we talked about above. Dark shades work best for them.
• Color can both organize space and disorganize, affect the emotional state.

Choosing furniture for hallways: what should you pay attention to?

• It is important to decide on the furniture before the start of the renovation, because some of them may be built-in and additional niches may be required for it. For example, a wardrobe in the hallway will take up less space if placed in a niche.
• No need to clutter up the space! To avoid the clutter effect, you should choose closed furniture.
• Pay attention to quality. You don't need to think that no one is looking at the furniture in the hallway. it typical mistake, which can cause a negative opinion about the owner of the apartment. Furniture must be free of cracks, stains, consider this when buying. If the furniture has a mirrored surface, make sure that glass elements and mirrors on their surface do not have irregularities or cloudy streaks.
• Choose quality fittings. There is a good saying, "We are not rich enough to buy cheap things." The rows of furniture operation depend on the fittings. It is desirable that it be large.

Modern design of the hallway: the best ideas, photos in the interior

Based on the purpose of the room, materials that are resistant to wear and tear and withstand high humidity should be used in the modern design of the hallway. Basic requirements for finishing materials:

• resistance to wear (especially for flooring),
• ease of cleaning,
• environmental friendliness.

The same requirements generally apply to materials for the manufacture of furniture. It is inappropriate to finish with natural veneer, the use of expensive types of wood - in difficult operating conditions, they will most likely not last long.

The most suitable modern flooring for the entrance area:

• artificial stone or ceramic tiles,
• porcelain stoneware slabs,
• saw cut of natural stone,
• linoleum.

You can also use high quality laminate flooring that can withstand water. It is not recommended to use natural parquet and parquet board - they will quickly lose their attractive appearance. For walls, either painting or modern moisture-resistant wallpaper is most often used.

Hallway equipment in a modern style

Modern hallway interior design is characterized by the use of furniture that simultaneously performs several functions. For example, a shoe bench, as a rule, simultaneously serves as a box for storing shoes, an ottoman, on which you can sit down, is a storage for shoe care products, a wardrobe is replaced by a whole storage system in which there is space for both street clothes and sports supplies.

• Cupboard. This element is found in almost every entrance area. Depending on its size, it can be either very small, or turn into a whole dressing room, providing the ability to store anything from everyday to seasonal.
• Shoe. In the event that the space permits, a shoe cabinet is placed in the interior of the hallway. At the same time, its upper part can act as a glove table or a shelf for bags. You can also store keys there if there is no way to make a separate key holder.
• Seat. The modern design of the hallway requires a seating area to put on your shoes with comfort. This is a free-standing chair, bench, bench, or the seat can be part of a storage system or be assembled into a single unit with a hanger.
• Mirror. Another necessary piece of equipment for the interior of the hallway is a large mirror, which allows you to assess your appearance before going out. It's good if this mirror allows you to see yourself in full growth.
• Rugs. No matter how durable the flooring is, you should put a small rug right at the entrance, which will absorb most of the street dirt. If wood or laminate is used as a floor covering, the area near the door should be laid out with tiles or porcelain stoneware, forming a kind of "rug" from which it is easy to remove dirt without exposing the rest of the floor to too frequent washing.
• Lighting. In the design of the hallway in a modern style, proper lighting plays a huge role. In the interior of the hallway, the following types of lighting can be distinguished: general (turned on when entering the apartment), local (required to illuminate the main areas of the hallway - a mirror, wardrobe, etc.), decorative (suitable for decorating a hallway, emphasizing the necessary design elements, will visually expand the room).
• Additional elements... In addition to those already listed, free-standing hangers for clothes, hats, umbrella stands, housekeepers, console tables and other items that often perform decorative functions. Designers advise not to use exclusively decorative elements that do not carry a functional load. For example, if you decide to decorate your hallway with a floor vase, use it as a stand for walking sticks and umbrellas.

Design and color scheme of the hallway in a modern style

Regardless of the size of the room, minimalism is considered the most suitable style, which allows you to fit everything you need even on a modest area and avoid cluttering it. Suitable for the design of the entrance area and the Scandinavian style, combining simplicity and environmental friendliness.

Whichever style you choose, you should use a minimum of decorative elements in the interior, trying to ensure that the main pieces of furniture take on a decorative role. For example, original holders for clothes and accessories can become a very effective design element of a modern hallway.

The color combinations used in the design of the hallway in a modern style should help to visually increase and adjust the proportions. In addition, dark colors are not recommended, as the entrance area usually does not have access to daylight and is the least lit.

The following are preferable as basic tones:

• White and its shades (milky, creamy, snowy),
• Beige (coffee with milk, ivory, peach),
• Light gray.

Depending on the chosen style, suitable active colors are selected as additional ones. Beige, for example, goes well with the natural tones of earth, sand, and chocolate. The snow white is elegantly complemented by blue, turquoise and lemon tones. You just need to make sure that they are not too dark.

Exceptions are allowed if the hallway is large or very high ceilings. The simpler the color combinations, the better, too bright colors and sharp contrasts can visually reduce even a very spacious hallway.

Hallway design - great ideas for renovation

The most important thing in hallway design is rationality. Everything needs to be tripled so that nothing interferes, but at the same time complements each other well.

• If we talk about the walls, then they can be pasted over with wallpaper, for example, in a mesh - thanks to this, the hallway will visually increase in size.
• You should not apply varnish on the floor due to its poor durability - it is best to rub the floor with mastic.
• An important point in the hallway is good lighting, so it is better to purchase a small lamp, but preferably with an open lampshade so that all the light falls into the hallway and not into the inside of the lampshade.
• An ideal wardrobe in the hallway can only be built-in - it does not take up space and you can put a lot of things. And for those who do not have the opportunity to make a wardrobe, buy a small and convenient set - for example, a shoe cabinet, a wardrobe with doors and some kind of chest of drawers for small things like keys.
• The main thing is that there are no unnecessary things in the hallway that take up space, and then your hallway will become compact and interesting.
• One of the mistakes in hallway design is a practical approach. An already dark hallway is often trimmed in dark colors.

Do not be afraid of light finishes and good lighting- and you will see how your hallway will turn from a utilitarian space into a bright gate to the house.

Velor decor. Special decorative velor appliques will help diversify the interior. They are very affordable. In the hallway, you can glue them where the walls get dirty the most, such as around outlets and switches.

Wall covering (panels). In the hallway, it is recommended to choose a wall covering that is easy to clean. Prefer smooth materials that are easy to clean.

Storage space. This room should play the role of a convenient storage facility in the first place. Here you can find space not only for clothes, but also for a vacuum cleaner, books and a collection of your favorite trinkets. What can be done to make the transformation of the hallway as simple as possible, and the effect is impressive? First of all, think about the design well.

And when you draw up a work plan, the approximate cost will also be clear.

A practical wardrobe is not just for clothes. If the closet is spacious enough, you can organize its space so that it is convenient to store not only clothes, but also, for example, an ironing board, a vacuum cleaner, brushes and even your spouse's tools.

Convenient door hangers. Clothes can be hung not only inside the closet, but also outside. Place beautiful hangers on the doors in the style of the hallway itself.

Working corner in the closet

You have a very small apartment and you have absolutely no place to put your desktop with your computer? Then you can arrange a special work area right in the hallway. Use a regular cabinet with several shelves. On the one that is higher, place the monitor, and lower the computer itself to the floor. The keyboard and mouse can be placed on the small folding table, which you can easily hide in the closet after work.

Hallway design: how to enlarge the hallway

In most apartments, the entrance hall is the narrowest and darkest room. To visually expand it, follow these simple rules design:

• When choosing finishing materials, give up opaque textures (wood, stone, decorative plaster). For small spaces, smooth vinyl or non-woven wallpaper is the best option.
• A small space can be visually expanded with the help of color. Use light colors for walls, floors and ceilings: white, milky, gray, coffee.
• Do you want to make bright accents? Paint some of the space in a contrasting color. In any case, it is better to leave the ceiling white, this will give the effect of more volume to your hallway.
• If the hallway is a narrow elongated corridor, do not use bulky furniture. A laconic style is more suitable - a hanger in the form of a plank-plank with hooks, mounted directly on the wall.
• You can make the space more airy if you equip niches in the corridor with lighting and inserts from mirrors or stained-glass windows with lighting.

For some reason, most people, when deciding on such an important matter as renovation, devote their attention to all the rooms, trying as comfortably as possible to equip the bedroom, nursery, living room and other rooms of the apartment, completely forgetting about the corridor.

A good half, at best, get by with pasting new wallpaper and installing several lamps, believing that this is quite enough. And the rest of them were less fortunate, their corridor often looks more like a small hallway, so it is rather difficult to come up with something modern and cozy in it.

But there is no need to despair, any problem has a solution, all the more so for such an insignificant one. What is, in essence, a corridor? Most often it is a long, elongated room that is not equipped with windows, but is crowded with doors and doorways.

But there are even worse options, when the entire corridor is replaced by one small hallway, which has a square or rectangular shape. If you do not pay due attention to this room, namely, arrange the furniture correctly and successfully develop a design. then this zone can simply remain "dead", through which you only slip from room to room every day.

Such a luxury is simply unacceptable, given the consistently small dimensions. modern apartments... But, if everything is done correctly, then a good half of the things that eat up the main living space can be transferred to the corridor.

There are many options interesting design corridor, it depends entirely on the size of the corridor itself, as well as on the size of the apartment as a whole.

For example, if the living room has coffee-colored sofas or pillows, paintings and furniture elements, then a lamp of the same color and style can be installed in the corridor, or a similar chest of drawers can be installed.

Most often, the walls of the corridor are decorated in gentle and pastel colors, the most popular are beige, pale pink, shades of cocoa and champagne, light green and light blue colors.

Small corridor design

If you cannot boast of a long and spacious corridor, then this is not a problem, even from a tiny square you can get a spacious and functional room. Naturally, the lighter the walls are, the more the room will appear visually wider and more spacious.

Cabinets with mirrored doors can come to the rescue, they perfectly replace the usual hooks, hangers and countless shelves, but this will only help if there is a niche under it in the corridor.

If there is none, and the room is very tiny, then you will have to get by with a simple hanger, which looks like a board on the wall, as well as small shelves that will serve to store hats, gloves and other little things on them. If the room has a corner, then it can be equipped with a small built-in cabinet where shoes will be stored.

When choosing furniture in a small corridor, you must be guided by the basic rule - it should be light and minimalist, without unnecessary patterns, carved decors and heaps.

Also, one should not forget about lighting, since the corridor, however large or small, is rarely equipped with windows.

A small corridor can get by with a center lamp, although small lamps distributed around the perimeter of the ceiling or walls can look much more interesting. If the corridor is long, then the center lamp may not be enough, so it is better to add several side wall sconces, which, of course, should harmoniously fit into the whole image of the apartment.

Design of a long corridor in the house

A long corridor often gives the impression of an endless dark tunnel, and even often useless. What can you think of in this case? If the corridor is really very long, then it is better to split it zonally, for example, to make a sectional floor from tiles or laminate, such segmentation will give the corridor some completeness, it will cease to resemble an endless and boring pipe.

In order for the narrow corridor to visually appear wider, it is better to decorate the walls in light colors.

Thus, the corridor from an ordinary walk-through room will turn into a small home library. So that after installing the shelves the corridor does not look very cluttered, it is better to color the furniture in light shades, and also not to forget about bright lighting, because you need to see well what you take from the shelf.

If you are not satisfied with open shelves, then you can beat the design of the corridor with another idea: install narrow and low cabinets, which outwardly will resemble a parapet, only with doors. On top of them, you can put photographs, pictures or figurines, and inside the lockers you can store every little thing that did not find a place in the main living quarters.

By the way, art lovers can turn long corridor into a small art gallery, covering all the walls with pictures and frames, or you can get by with just a few, but large works of art. And one more thing, when planning to choose a floor, remember that the corridor is a very passable part of the house, so it is better not to save on materials, otherwise in a couple of years you will have to make repairs again.

It's good that in our country in last years they are building houses in which apartments have become more spacious, the corridors have become wide, and the kitchens have become larger. The hallways in these new homes are not narrow tunnels, but small hallways, in which you can already place a set of furniture that will satisfy the needs of a small family.

But if your apartment is in an ordinary Khrushchev, this is not a reason to get discouraged and consider yourself a failure. A small hallway, even a small corridor, can be designed so that all guests will not notice that there are not enough square meters. It is important not to keep a bunch of unnecessary or rarely used things in a small hallway. Follow the example of the Japanese. They say that in order not to be tormented by the problem of where to place unnecessary things, it is not necessary to have these unnecessary things.

If your hallway is, well, a very narrow corridor, you will not have to use lockers and bedside tables, but wall hangers and hooks. You can, of course, find a set of furniture with narrow bedside tables and wardrobes. And if you still have a small space at the front door, pick up a compact set of furniture for the hallway in the store. Fortunately, now furniture manufacturing has developed so much that it offers us, customers, furniture for different tastes and wallets.

The usual minimum set of furniture for a hallway: a wardrobe, a shoe cabinet, a hanger with hooks and a mirror are placed in a small room by the front door. When the hallway is small and there is no way to unfold imagination, the main task that needs to be solved is to place such a set of furniture on a small area that will beautify this space and arrange the clothes and shoes of the owners at least a little.

If your hallway smoothly transitions into another room, take care of a harmonious combination of furniture for the hallway and for the hall. The area of ​​the hallway is small, which means that you store in it only those things that you use on a daily basis.

Well, if you are the lucky owner of a hallway, which can accommodate a set of furniture with corner cabinet, this is wonderful. In such a wardrobe, you can place both winter and autumn clothes and shoes.

In addition to the wardrobe, a shoe cabinet is an indispensable element of the furniture set for the hallway. In stores, they are widely represented, differ in design and decoration, but the essence is the same - to remove shoes from under your feet, so as not to stumble about it and somehow order it.

The shoe cabinet can be chosen small, compact or high and spacious. It all depends on the number of shoes in your home. The curbstone will save you from shoes scattered on the floor, but the chest-bench will definitely make your life easier. And all because leaving the house and returning back, you can sit on it to put on your shoes or have a little rest. Such furniture is compact and functional, as it performs several tasks: it serves as a bench and at the same time stores the things necessary for the household inside itself.

Instead of a chest-bench, soft poufs can be used in the hallway. And if you don't like either poufs or a chest-bench, put a mini-sofa in your hallway. He will definitely decorate the room.

Furniture makers offer combined options for hallways: mini-table + mini-sofa. Consider this option as well. Mini sofa + mini bedside table also have a right to exist. Do not want to fill the already small area of ​​the hallway with furniture, then you can limit yourself to a hanger and a bedside table

You should not give up the mirror in the hallway, so decide for yourself where to place it. And there are several places for it: it can be built into a closet, into the front door, or simply hang on the wall as a separate element of the interior. The mirror decorates the room, brightens and optically enlarges it. A vertically positioned mirror allows you to see yourself in full growth.

If your room at the front door is quite spacious and you like sliding wardrobes, equip your hallway with this wonderful wardrobe. Of course, the correct and competent placement of things in the wardrobe will allow the hostesses to find a place for many different items.

Do not forget the important rules for placing things in closets: the space is divided horizontally into three parts, everything heavy and bulky is placed at the bottom, light and rarely used at the top. But the middle part of the cabinet is occupied by things that are in constant use.

Furniture in the hallway allows you to equip the space and create a cozy atmosphere. To prevent dirt from the street from getting into the apartment, there should be a rug at the entrance that will collect all the garbage. If you want your guests to be greeted by a beautiful and bright hallway, take care of the lighting. Must be present as a ceiling light. and wall lamps and it is good if there is lighting in the furniture.
