Home is the place where the human heart lives. This is a personal space for everyone. We hurry here after hard working days to enjoy peace, comfort and warmth. And here we are met by an apartment or a cozy house. The first thing the eye falls on is the corridor. And today we will consider the question of how to make the original design of the hall.
Features
Hall is the hallmark of any home. When entering the room, a certain atmosphere should be felt. Until now, the corridor was considered an inconspicuous room, from which many doors lead to other rooms. But modern design goes to great lengths to make it look elegant and comfortable.
Nuances
In order to determine what styles you can make a hall in, it is worth considering a few recommendations from professional designers:
- Usually the corridor is made without windows. An exception is private buildings that may include this element. If there are no windows, then carefully consider the lighting. It should be enough to turn the corridor from a dark dungeon into a magical andbright realm.
- When you start to make a design project, do not forget that this is a walk-through room. Furniture and additional accessories should certainly be located conveniently so that you can easily move around the hall.
- There is a lot of traffic in the hall, so it is better to choose high-quality, wear-resistant materials for decoration. They should be easy to clean from dirt.
These nuances should be considered at the design stage so that you can take into account every little thing. Separately, it is worth talking about the main components of each hall.
Furniture
This is an important aspect that must be taken into account when designing a hall. In the corridor, both you and the guests need to feel good. It should be comfortable to stay and dress comfortably, but at the same time, the hall is considered a place to store various seasonal clothes, shoes and accessories. Designate these places in the project. The best option would be built-in wardrobes. They have the following positive qualities:
- space saving (it can be done in any useless niche);
- lots of storage space;
- long operation;
- convenient to use for adults and children.
The sliding wardrobe can be made according to individual sizes. It includes various compartments and shelves for storage:
- headwear;
- shoes;
- outerwear;
- bags;
- cosmetics and various other accessories.
Another frequently encountered piece of furniture is a shoe cabinet. She has her own characteristics:
- saves space;
- accommodates a wide variety of shoes;
- the top of the cabinet can be used as an additional shelf for storing keys, phones and various small items.
Sometimes such furniture is equipped with closed drawers. If the hall is spacious and has a large free area, a couple of chairs and a small coffee table are additionally installed. In such a room it is nice to meet other guests. They will thank you for your comfort.
Separately, I would like to talk about the next mandatory attribute of any hall.
Mirror
No hallway can do without this element of decor. The mirror is not only aesthetic, but also brings functionality and additional convenience to the interior. There are several options for its placement:
- Install on wardrobe. Suitable for small hallways or large families. The doors of such a cabinet can be completely mirrored. This will help visually increase the area of the room and make it possible for several people to use the mirror at the same time.
- If you wish, you can install the mirror separately on the wall. In this case, several conditions must be met: the distance between the floor and the mirror surface must be at least 50 cm, because in it you must see yourself in full growth.
The presence of mirrors should be carefully considered and must be included in the interior of the hall.
Lighting
As a rule, all halls are without windows, so special attention is paid to light. For comfortable and convenient use of the premises, we recommend installing the following devices:
- Multilevel spotlights. They should be located around the perimeter of the room. With their help, clothes in the closet, clasps on shoes, etc. should be visible.
- Central lighting. The size of the chandelier must be chosen based on the area of \u200b\u200byour hall. It should be bright and light up the whole room.
- Wall sconces. They can be hung near the mirror. It is comfortable to clean up with them.
- If the house has a staircase, then it is additionally illuminated with spotlights. They will help to avoid injuries associated with falling in the dark. This is especially true for families with children. Light bulbs are usually installed from below, almost at the very step.
The interior design of the hall is thought out in advance. You should include even the smallest details in it. It is from them that the overall picture is formed.
Finishing ceilings, walls, floors
To make the room look spacious, you should give preference to light shades of walls and ceilings. It is better to choose wallpaper without a pattern, and the top coating is preferably glossy. Do not forget that the hall is the delimiter between the street and the house, and a lot of dirt and dust passes through it every day. Everything needs to be washed and cleaned all the time. In this case, the floor covering is selected from the following materials:
- ceramic tiles;
- parquet board;
- laminate.
You can do a partial finish near the front door, where the greatest accumulation of dirt.
Washable wallpaper should be on the walls. You can replace them:
- decorative plastic panels;
- wooden clapboard.
Accessories
The entrance hall should be not only functional, but also beautiful. To do this, it is worth bringing all kinds of decorations and accessories into the interior of the hall, which will become indispensable in everyday life. These include:
- key cases;
- outdoor large vases for storing umbrellas;
- pictures, family photos, embroidered thematic compositions;
You can decorate the room with living plants that tolerate shade well.
All of the above recommendations are suitable for apartments and houses. It is worth mentioning the design of the hall with a staircase. A slightly different approach is needed here.
Duplex Apartment
In such a matter as the design of the hall of a multi-storey cottage, it is worth reading some recommendations:
- Furniture of the hall should be made of the same materials from which the staircase itself is made. These include marble, decorative stone, wood.
- The staircase and the hall itself can be decorated with the same carpeting.
- This room sets the tone for the entire home, so consider in advance how the design of the hall will be combined with the railing. They can be, for example, wooden.
- Free space under stairs is easyconverts into additional storage space for clothes or shoes.
In modern interiors, stairs can be made of glass. Such a composition does not weigh down the room and gives it a special charm. True, it is difficult to care for her.
The design of the hall in the house always requires special attention. Here you need to proceed from the preferences of your family. Remember that this is the face of the home, which should be neat, clean and modern. Use your imagination and by all means get an original hallway.
