Basic elements of the hallway
In the apartments of the old housing stock and many new buildings, no more than 5 sq.m are allocated for the hallway, on which you need to place mandatory furniture and leave a place for free movement. But the first thing to do is to correctly choose surfaces.
Practical finish
Paul in the corridor is the most passing place, and it experiences the features of all seasons, mechanical damage to various types of shoes and other loads. Therefore, the entrance to the apartment needs to be protected, usually for this they choose practical ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles, linoleum with a high degree of protective layer. It is recommended to choose a light finish with a medium -sized pattern to hide minor damage and minor pollution.
Ceramic tiles on the floor
Washing wallpaper, decorative plaster, staining are appropriate on the walls. Try to avoid relief walls, as they quickly accumulate dirt and dust, which is difficult to clean. In a small corridor, large patterns on the walls are inappropriately, as they visually absorb the space.

It is not worth experimenting with the ceiling in a small hallway. The perfect top is a glossy stretch fabric, white or shade of ivory and light sand, in which the rays of artificial lighting are beautifully reflected.

Compliance with stylistics
Decor and the choice of finishes, the color palette of the hallway and other design elements are selected for the basic style selected for the design of the entire apartment. In the interior of the corridor, one of the shades that have already been used in the decoration or environment of other rooms are used. All premises in the apartment, residential and functional, should be a single whole, and complex transitions from one style to another will annoy, and “cut the eyes”.

Lack of lighting
In the hallway of the windows of windows, as a rule, it is not provided, therefore, the entire load on lighting lies with artificial light, which should be enough even in small space. One ceiling lamp is not enough. If there is no place for local lighting devices, the built -in light is used: a mirror with backlight, LED tape, additional light in a closet, garlands, etc.
In the hallway, lamps with a movement sensor at the entrance are often installed, it is convenient if the hands are busy and pressed on the switch problematically.

Mirror in the hallway
This interior element is required in the entrance area, especially with a lack of square meters. In addition to the possibility of putting yourself in order before leaving, the mirror in the hallway is sometimes the only place for installing a toilet table or its analogue. Mirror surfaces are often used for a visual increase in space, which is relevant if the corridor is not only small, but also narrow.
Mirror wall in the hallway
The built -in wardrobe in the corridor is often made with a mirror door, which expands the space and is used for its intended purpose. Mirrors are necessarily supplemented with a well -exposed light.

Furniture of the input area
Furniture in a small hallway is selected purely functional, but this does not mean that you can do without any element.
Bange: for and against
The seat for sitting in the corridor is not a luxury item. After all, not every family members can stand and put on shoes. The height of the banquet is counted on the average growth of an adult, a separate chair can be installed for the child. You can save the area by combining a banquet with a shoe or hanger, as well as order furniture in the hallway with a seat.

Where to store clothes
Trying to leave more free space in the hallway, homeowners often refuse the cabinet, but such an approach will not help to significantly increase the hallway, a place for the cabinet will have to be allocated in one of the living rooms.
The most profitable model of the closet for the hallway is a “coupe”, the doors of which do not require additional space, and inside you can organize storage of outerwear, shoes and other things. Choose spacious models tall to the ceiling and without legs.
Furniture on the legs in the corridor adds work to the hostess during cleaning, although visually the atmosphere of lightness and airiness is given.

Place for little things
Depending on the style of the interior of the hallway and the area of the room, they organize a place for storing little things: a shelf with a drawer, an open or closed bedside table, an elegant console, etc.
For keys, you can purchase a beautiful keyboard or attach hooks on the wall. A variety of arrangements for umbrellas, baskets for gloves and hats, will make the corridor space organized and will allow maintaining order in a small territory.

Common defects in the hallway
There are a lot of nuances in the design of the hallway, which are recommended to be taken into account when planning and at the initial and final stage.
Inner doors often enter the corridor, from rooms, a bathroom or kitchen, and it is desirable that they make up a single stylistic picture. If there is a need to replace one of the doors, then select a similar one or all the doors are changed. The “vinaigrette” from the door will spoil even the most beautiful interior.
Interior doors in the entrance area
The decor in the hallway is recommended laconic, without small details, which not only collect dust, but also visually make the space already. In the entrance area, the role of decor is often played by mirrors, watches, paintings or photos in the frame, original lamps and green plants in pots that do not require abundant light.
Hallway in the style of Provence
The carpet in the corridor is a relic of the past, because it not only protects the coating from damage, but also constantly collects a lot of dirt and fine debris. A small rubberized rug is laid inside the front door, and other textile products are removed. Without carpet and paths, cleaning in the hallway is much easier and more hygienic.

The correctly equipped input area brings comfort to the operation of the home, therefore, with independent development of the interior design of the input zone, it is important to consider all the tips of professionals.
