In modern apartments, there are most often found quite large hallways. For a large corridor, you can afford to experiment with the interior design, arrange and furnish the room with an unusual way. A spacious entrance hall has no shortcomings of a small room, it is easier to comfortably equip it. However, there are its own characteristics, for example, even the most successful layout can be easily clouded visually. That this does not happen, you should use designer ideas and tips for the hallway of a large size.
Peculiarities
It is in the hallway primarily that a person gets out in an apartment or house. It meets guests, remove the upper clothes. If the room is rather large, it can be used non-standard, ensuring competent zoning. A large corridor is divided into the following zones:
- The place where clothes for everyday use and seasonal type are stored, as well as shoes (these are cabinets, galoshes, couch and other furniture);
- input zone;
- Hall herself.
The zoning of these sites is easiest to ensure, using the sexual coating of different types, as well as with the help of wall decoration. In the inlet zone, the tile will be the optimal material for the floor, then you can use wood, parquet, linoleum, laminate. As for the walls, the entrance always looks like a stone, wood trim. The main space is issued either only with wallpaper or in combination with this decor.
The main thing is to correctly pick up the color of the materials so that the room does not seem too dark, because it does not have the window most often.
Receptions
The hallway is the "face of the house", therefore the impression that it produces must be favorable. It is very important to competently pick up the design, finish and rationally use a large space. There are different ways of comfortable arrangement:
- Use the built-in type storage systems, thinking through their design, rely on the overall style of the hallway;
- Despite the dimensions, give up the cumbersome furniture, especially in modern directions;
- Try to do with comfortable minimum interior items;
- Think over the high-quality lighting system of all zones, do not spare the point lights that are included separately.
Project creation
To begin with, decide on the total design style and minimum necessary furniture. After that, you can choose materials, color, produce lighting and decor. Designers recommend to take into account the following nuances:
- Big square looks better if the room is zoned;
- You can safely distinguish between the entry zone with the hallway, even with the partition, as well as use other visual techniques;
- In a square room, place high furniture at the corners.
If you want to minimize dust and dirt, immediately at the entrance, organize a place to store shoes, and the zone for undressing can be elsewhere.
Decoration Materials
In the corridor, more dirt is always accumulated than in any other room, so the finish materials must be primarily durable and easy to care. Always focus on the following qualities:
- moisture resistance;
- wear resistance;
- Resistance to chemical care products.
When finishing the walls, choose wallpapers that can be washed, for example, vinyl. Before sticking, it is advisable to process the walls with soil of special purpose. A good solution is a finishing of MDF panels, wood. Liquid wallpapers are suitable for the hallway, as you can easily correct any contamination. Refuse wallpapers on paper and tissue base. An interesting option is glass.
Flooring for this room is preferable to tile. Suitable Porcelain stoneware or ceramics tile . If you decide to arrange the entire floor with a tile, it is better to take care of the "Warm floor" system. Also practical decision – High-quality linoleum, but the parquet and laminate at the entrance is better not to sharpen.
As for the ceiling, despite the size of the room, it is better to refuse from complex suspended structures. Smooth white ceiling is appropriate in any style. Refuse the bright decoration of the ceiling even in the very grateful design. Plasterboard and tensioning canvas - the best solution.
The matte ceiling is better fit into the classic composition, glossy - in modern.
Lighting, Furniture, Decor
Without a competent lighting system, even a spacious entrance hall may seem gloomy and uncomfortable. If there is no window in the room, natural light should be completely substituted with artificial. The central top chandelier in the corridor is always not enough. Pay attention to point lights around the ceiling perimeter. In classic style, this role will perform chandelier and wall scaves. Be sure to think about the lighting of the mirrors, within the storage sections.
The canonical set of furniture for the hallway looks like this:
- wardrobe;
- hanger;
- mirror;
- pouf, bench, chair;
- If necessary, the possibility is a stand for shoes or a galoshnya.
In a large room, you can safely expand this list depending on the selected style and taste of households. In the overall room you can position:
- Separately standing mirror;
- toilet table;
- Unusual hangers;
- Stands for umbrellas;
- Spectacular decor.
However, the central object of the furniture composition of the hallway is a functional storage system. Built-in structures to the ceiling with meresers can accommodate almost all shoes and clothes located in the house. It is important that the cabinets, and all the furniture are made of high-quality moisture resistant material. In order to make a favorable impression, pay attention to such moments:
- sections for storage should be closed, otherwise the interior will look slightly;
- Choose compact furniture of simple, laconic forms, as massive objects with catchy design, thread and stucco visually reduce the space;
- Be sure to use the decor, interesting accents, otherwise the room will be cold and uncomfortable;
- Discard too distrect design decisions, follow the rules of three shades;
- The hallway must be as comfortable as possible in daily use.
