Hallway furniture

The hall is very important in the economic plan the room in the apartment or the house. That is why the choice of furnishing this room is responsible and requires not only design, but also functional solutions.

First you need to assess the dimensions of the room. If dimensions allow “to turn around”, it should be used at all costs, and create a multifunctional space with the possibility of accommodating well-designed storage systems.

However, often in apartment buildings, the layout of hallways does not provide such an opportunity.We have to look for lightweight options that suggest a place just to hang a few jackets and place two or three pairs of shoes. But do not be upset if you have such a small corridor - furniture manufacturers and designers have long thought of a huge number of options for making a small space eye-catching and convenient for use.

Various configurations make the design unique and meet all the requirements of the owner. In our time, cabinet furniture is very common. It has a standard set: an open hanger for daily use, a wardrobe, as a rule, with hinged doors, a shoe hanger, a shelf for hats and scarves. It may have a small chest of drawers or several open shelves for storing keys, a mirror. This headset meets all requirements, it looks like a single complex and does not require much imagination for design.

Upholstered furniture will help to create coziness, convenience and diversify the interior of the hallway:

• Currently, designers offer not to stand on their feet while laced up their shoes, but to sit comfortably, for example, on a couch.It looks very impressive and harmoniously fits into the hallway of sizes slightly larger than standard. You can choose any color and upholstery, it is recommended not to choose too easily soiled, light color and delicate fabric, as stains and abrasions may appear from frequent use.

• If a model like the couch does not like or does not fit in size, you can replace it with a chair. It is also very convenient and has many options in execution. One of them - the dresser-chair combines two different objects of furniture. On the part that is responsible for the cabinet it is convenient to arrange a landline phone, throw the keys, make notes, or simply install a decor element, a vase or a frame with a photo on it.
• The most democratic upholstered furniture in the hall will be a pouf. It takes up very little space, and in terms of functionality it is not inferior to a chair and a couch. To create symmetrical compositions in the interior, you can use two poufs, and between them put a small table.Such an ensemble will help organize a place for receiving guests and waiting. A good choice would be a ottoman-cabinet with the ability to store inside small items, such as brushes for clothes or sponges for shoes.

• Lovers of deliberate antiquity and style chebbi-chic in the design of the room, but wishing to have furniture with seats in the hallway will have the way to an element such as a chest. There is plenty of storage space inside, and the functionality is the same as that of the couch.
• The pierum in the hallway looks elegant and chic. A large mirror will expand the space, make the room brighter, and the ability to store accessories (combs, hairpins, scarves or glasses) will become a magic wand for women.
• Consider furniture storage for other seasons. In the large hall there is the possibility of placing the entire dressing room. In expensive luxury homes, this room is masked by hinged doors according to the design, and in a more modern style - by sliding systems like coupe or any other.

• A more compact alternative is the wardrobe. It is capacious, reliable and looks good.The wardrobe made to order will meet all the requirements of the owner. The manufacturer can discuss the number and size of shelves, the length of the rod, the width of the door leaf, the presence of closed boxes or baskets for accessories and small accessories. Design, you can choose absolutely any, which simplifies the selection process.
• If the hallway is small or you do not want to overload it with massive wardrobes, and things from other seasons need to be hidden somewhere, you must purchase a case for clothes. It is a narrow, tall cabinet, equipped either with simple shelves, or with several shelves and a short barbell. Everything is very expedient, democratic and without scope.

• But the case is rarely an independent hallway object. Basically - this is an element of the combined modular system. As a rule, it also includes an open clothes hanger for daily use, a shelf for hats and scarves, a bookcase for shoes, perhaps a mirror and a small chest of drawers.
• If not only the hallway is small, but also the apartment as a whole, the design ideas give an answer to the question of how to be: to look for furniture-transformer. Compact in appearance, it has great features in terms of functionality.It is worth pulling the necessary element and a chair or a small table is being pulled out, but there are developments that unite the wall in the hallway with a bar, a box with drinks and glasses.

It is logical to assume that the shape of the furniture should harmoniously fit into the shape of the room. Thus, in the presence of a long narrow corridor, the furniture must also be narrow, otherwise it seems cluttered. In such a space, it is not necessary to install a high cabinet right next to the entrance door, it is better to arrange the objects in ascending order, for example: a mirror with a low cabinet or a couch, an open plank with hooks for outerwear, and only then a tall case or a wardrobe.

For the "irregular" forms of a room or a room with a large number of corners that have a pressing effect, a wardrobe with radius doors is perfect. They are convex, concave or wavy.The latter are designed for more space, since the design feature implies at least four doors.

If the hallway is square, then the wall in the hallway is appropriate angular. Often, the edges of such a wall are decorated as open shelves, which can be both with a right angle, and can be rounded. These shelves have a decorative purpose and are used to set pictures, photographs, vases and figurines, and you can put wicker baskets in them and store various trifles.

The dimensions of the hallways are also determined by the size of the room. You should not try to fit a huge closet into a small hall: it will take too much space, and it will not be easy to just undress and take off your shoes.

There are standard dimensions for any furniture. Depending on the type of model, it will be easy to choose the right hallway, but if the store did not find a suitable option, contact the manufacturers who make the hallways to order according to individual sizes.

In private country houses the size of the hall can reach 20 square meters. The owners of such mansions are able to ensure that the room, even with such dimensions, is able to be comfortable and well-planned. In this case, the presence of consoles, couches, mirrors, poufs and tables will be very appropriate and convenient.

But many people are mistaken that such spaces should be filled with elements of the interior no matter what. Fans of minimalism can generally abandon the overall cabinets and numerous chairs in favor of the usual bar-hangers, and leave shoes on the floor. This very courageous, but at the same time fashionable version is suitable for young and energetic people.

When choosing a suitable cabinet, pay attention to such parameters as depth, width and height. They are directly dependent on the proper use of storage space. For a narrow corridor, there is a cabinet with a depth of 30 cm. Although this indicator limits functionality, it looks easy and elegant, fits well with dimensions.

Please note that in this case the bar for hanging things is attached not along, but across. When making an individual order, please note: the width of this section must be at least 55 cm.

Mini-sets 100 cm wide consist of an open area for outerwear, a shoemaker, a narrow closet-case with a full-length mirror door or a separate mirror to the waist and a small chest of drawers - this is a classic option for a Khrushchev apartment or studio.

Modern furniture production offers products from different materials for every taste and budget:

• Halls made of solid wood Connoisseurs of all natural and natural in the house may be interested Such products are distinguished by practicality, solid appearance, durability and reliability. Cabinets, cabinets and other elements of oak perfectly fit into ecostyle, classic or modern, empire style, baroque. However, such furniture is not cheap, a more democratic option - wooden furniture made of solid pine. It is almost as good as oak furniture, but affordable and elegant.

• Another alternative is the wall in the hallway of veneer. It can be natural or synthetic. Special surface treatment allows you to apply on the veneer laminate, laminatil, varnish, silk, cortex. This is done for decorative purposes.
• An unusual phenomenon in the hallway will be rattan furniture. Rattan is a special vine that grows mainly in hot and humid climates, processed using a special technology and has no analogues. The furniture from it turns out easy and strong, steady against moisture. This is an expensive material and a fully rattan cupboard - an expensive rarity, so manufacturers combine rattan with wood or MDF.

• By the way, MDF - the most favorite material from manufacturers. Almost all the furniture of the middle class is produced from it. It consists of furniture dust, processed and glued in a special way. Thanks to the technology, MDF plates are very durable, they are not subject to corrosion, are not deformed in conditions of strong humidity, and outwardly look spectacular and elegant.

When choosing a color, push off the light of the room. As a rule, the corridors in apartment buildings do not have windows, so they remain a space without natural sunlight.Having picked up a wall in a hall of dark color, you can face that the room became small and uncomfortable.

However, pure white walls and a lightweight headset, in which there are no blind elements with doors, made in black, dark brown, rich blue, will look stylish and modern, provided that the light is well thought out. In general, bright colors in the interior can and should be used. They cheer up, look vigorously and defiantly.

With the difficulties of choosing the original design in our day is not easy to face. Such a diverse choice offered by manufacturers is ready to satisfy any buyer:

• Models made of wood or made with imitation wood always look aristocratic and elegant. The special woody relief is always interesting to consider, and it is pleasant to the touch.
• Unusual textures are created by different execution techniques.For example, eco-leather inserts, which are applied in a special way, are one of the favorite elements of the decor of modern interiors.
• Unusual design is created through the use of materials such as bamboo or rattan.

• Glass elements create lightness and elegance, and the glass can be matte or glossy, graphite or with a bronze effect.
• The mirrors are often put patterns and ornaments using sandblasting technology, decorated with stones and rhinestones perimeter.
• A bold decision - drawing prints on the doors of the cabinet with a pattern of wallpaper or any other image.
• Make sure that all elements of the hallway are made in the same way. For example, the handles on the doors or guides were made of the same color of metal with a handle from the entrance door and a frame under the mirror.

Choosing furniture for the hallway, be guided by the overall stylistic orientation of the apartment. This part of the house should not stand out and stand out from the general plan, should be perceived as an entry into your personal space:

• Modern style corresponds to the smoothness of the lines, the rejection of sharp corners in favor of a more natural, soft outlines.To feel good about this style, imagine that you are in a garden that is twined with vines, and the trees have fancy shapes. Forget about symmetry by furnishing your apartment in this style. This design is chosen by creative people with vulnerable spiritual organization.

• For people with a clear position in life, successful and enterprising suitable business minimalism or stylish hi-tech. For such an interior in the hallway will be the most suitable wardrobe with glossy doors, sliding strictly along one straight line, metal elements, the absence of a large number of decor or its absence, straight lines and cold shades.
• Luxurious and glamorous luxury style they emphasize with gilded elements, the presence of rhinestones and brilliant stones, reflective elements and rich and deep colors - black, red and burgundy, dark blue and dark green, gray. Draperies with velvet or Lurex fabrics are welcome.

Choosing the right furniture in the hallway means trying to find the optimal ratio of all basic criteria and properties. Consider the volume and size of the room, light, the presence of doorways in living rooms:

• From the point of view of the organization of space, the corridor is the most difficult room. There is usually little natural light, the shape is basically long and narrow, implies a large number of doorways, due to which the usable space is lost.

Separate a coat hanger or a bar with coat hooks from the closet for storing clothes of other seasons, select a zone for decorative arrangement - a console, a pier glass and a mirror.
• An unheated corridor, for example, in a summer house, must be furnished with water-resistant and non-deformable furniture.
