Design of corridors in private homes

The entrance hall is the first room that is seen by those who enter the house. It should create a feeling of comfort and tranquility. It is also necessary to equip it in such a way that it performs a large number of functions.

Most often, the repair of the hallway in a private house is the last thing. This means that in all other rooms everything is already done, and when finishing the corridor you can focus on the overall interior. The ideal option would be a pre-designed design concept for the whole house.

Most often, when choosing a hallway, you need to start from the budget, from your own ideas and from the future functionality of the room. You can look for any similarities with all the rooms, or you can do the work in a completely different style that goes against the general features of the house style.

When choosing a corridor design it is necessary to consider several factors:

• Is there a pantry for things that are rarely used or not used at all. If available, more space can be removed for other items than cabinets, shelves and hangers;
• Will there be seating. If they are available, it is necessary to determine the amount of furniture;
• Does the size of the corridor accommodate everything that you want to embody and fit.

For the hallway, there are not too many design options, unlike other rooms. The main styles can be called:

• Retro. Merging in one room the trends of modern fashion, decorated with various things and elements of antiquity;
• Scandinavian. It is characterized by high prices, wooden floors and a harmonious combination of furniture. All elements must be made in the same color scheme;
• Country - this style corresponds to the execution of all elements of the interior of the tree. The main features of the style - comfort, simplicity and comfort;
• Modern abounds with plenty of glass and metal. The walls are most often made in bright colors, their color is transferred to all furniture.

The design of the corridor often depends on its shape. There are not only rectangular, but also round, square corridors, in the form of letters “P” or “T”. A long corridor is best to visually reduce a little, “bringing” the far wall. This can be done with deep, rich or dark tones.

A semicircular hallway or with elements of a circle is best not to further decorate. If you pay attention to the irregularities and circles, they will look too intrusive. Best to use light, inconspicuous tone.

Corridors of complex shapes are usually divided into separate sections. Often they make out in various, even in contrasting tones. It gives a highlight to such a corridor, makes it special. Square corridor is best turned into a hall.

Before choosing a design, furniture and finishing materials for the hallway you need to know:

• If the room is not separated from the main area by doors, then it is necessary to conduct a zoning of the space;
• When choosing furniture it is necessary to consider the size of the corridor;
• When choosing elements of the hallway, it is necessary to consider not only the design, but also the functionality of each part of the hallway;
• In the presence of free space, you can use a number of decorative elements;
• If you have a staircase to the second floor, you can make a closet or pantry in the space under the stairs. This will save space, and if you make a wall of eurolining, then such a “wall” will perfectly complement the wooden staircase;

In the presence of a cold corridor and the absence of a hall in the house, it is necessary to think about how to isolate the cold part from the common corridor.

When repairing the hallway, the first thing to think about is the storage system. Often to arrange the room correctly and beautifully, while functional and diverse - a very difficult task.

The use of a wood storage system has its advantages. This is a very common option. This set allows you to hold a large amount of clothing. It can also be used as a small storeroom.

When choosing the color of the headset using the principles of color. In small rooms they use white tones, they do not create gravity and do not distract all attention to themselves. In large corridors, it is better to use dark colors.

Often the corridor is perceived only as a space for removing clothes or shoes, but you can also embellish the hallway with various furniture. For example, a closet is needed to store clothes. But you can choose a wardrobe, which will be built into the wall. This will save space, and the doors of such a cabinet can be an interior decoration.

If there is very little space, you can use the hallway as an option for storing clothes. Most often, it is “hidden” in a corner in order to make room for other furniture.

Also in small hallways chests and cabinets will fit perfectly. They will ideally perform its main function is the storage of small items and accessories. Hangers can serve as decoration. They are not suitable for permanent storage of large quantities of clothing, but when choosing the right color and shape can give the corridor an atmosphere of comfort.

Rarely hallways in a private house are quite large.If the dimensions allow, then in the corridor you can place a chest of drawers for things. It will store a lot of necessary items, you can also put decorative elements or something necessary on it.

It is necessary to take a responsible approach to such a process as self-finishing of the corridor. Many do not hesitate to use the cheapest and simplest materials. At the same time it turns out a gray, everyday room. It is best to choose a stylish concept of the hallway, properly decorate and make this room brighter.

• Vinyl washable wallpaper;
• Liquid wallpaper;
• Paint;
• Plaster.

To sheathe all walls, you can choose:

• MDF panels;
• PVC panels.

The flooring in the hallway also has special requirements. It must withstand constant moisture and dirt, especially in the autumn and spring periods. One of the three flooring options is used:

• Linoleum is an inexpensive material. Often used in the hallways. However, only a thick layer is suitable for the corridor, since the thin one will have to be changed frequently;
• Laminate - wear-resistant material. For the corridor, you must choose a moisture resistant option;
• Tile - the longest in use material. Not slippery, beautiful and reliable material. The main disadvantage is the high price.

There are also various ceiling options:

• Stretch are gaining popularity in our time. Have an even and smooth surface. The market offers a wide range of colors;
• False ceiling of plasterboard. Requires mandatory painting, whitewashing or wallpapering.

When choosing the colors of the corridor there are no rules and restrictions. The main thing is your sympathy for color, because you will see it daily. Calm shades characterize comfort and peace. When choosing a color, it is necessary that the colors intersect with the colors that exist in other rooms. Often the color of the walls is chosen according to the color of the entrance door.

If there is a goal to visually expand the room, then it is best to use glossy materials. In large corridors, matte colors will look better.For the comfort of your eyes in the hallway should not use more than three colors. Also neutral color should be only one. The remaining colors can be contrasted, it will create intrigue and at the same time an atmosphere of comfort and homely warmth.

After finishing the hallway and the choice of furniture, you can think about how to take a free place. Often laid on the floor carpet. It is able to absorb the cold from the floor and become a bright accent in the room.

Most often in the hallways you can see a mirror. It can be both floor and wall. Also used mirror surfaces. They allow you to expand the limits of the room. On the walls can be installed trays under clothes or under the little things that will resemble a small chest of drawers.

The lighting system depends on a large number of factors, such as:

• Ceiling decoration;
• The interior of the room;
• Room size;
• Taste preferences.

There should be a lot of light in the corridor. It is better to use a two-level lighting system - a central chandelier and side lights. Large and volume chandeliers will fit well into the interior of the hallway of huge size. In small and narrow corridors it is better to use several small sources of light. Wherein best to direct the light one wayThis will allow to visually enlarge the space.

There is a huge number of interiors designed by designers for different types of rooms. For hallways, they are the least, so it is best to use simple solutions that will help you achieve the effect you need.

Also in a large room you can play in contrasting tones, which will make the hallway the most stylish, but you need to remember about the combination of colors.
