Often, even in the most successful and comfortable layouts of spacious apartments and houses, small corridors or hallways are designed. This minor flaw can be easily corrected with the right decor and visually "expand" even the narrowest hallway.
When the lights are on, the mysterious magic of warm amber lighting fills the room. The soft light streaming through the cracks and perfectly relaxes and does not strain the eyes like a severe cold one.
Idea 2. Mirrors
A mirror - one or more reflective surfaces - capable of "revealing" almost any small space. They will help a lot in visual magnification squares narrow corridor.
Idea 3. Paper wallpaper
A hyper-realistic wallpaper depicting a panther before a jump, a spray of Victoria Falls and a meadow of blooming mountain lavender is best left for the screensaver on your laptop desktop. For the walls of a narrow corridor are irreplaceable, decorative contour map or the image of a flower, tree, fish on a white background.
Such paper wallpaper will give the atmosphere a touch of conviviality. It is a great alternative to multiple decors, large paintings, photographs and other visual art.
Idea 4. Chalk board
If you turn one of the walls in the hallway into a surface chalk board, you can give the space additional functions... Instead of sticky stickers stuck around the house, you can write messages to your family, recipes for interesting dishes, wishes have a good day or friends' phone numbers right on the wall.
And it is also a real freedom for the younger members of the family - they can draw on the walls with pleasure without looking back.
We start decorating our house or apartment from the kitchen or bedroom, maybe from the living room. Everything goes to the corridor according to the residual principle. But the first impression of the house as a whole depends on him. In high-rise buildings, especially those built a long time ago, there are long hallways of small width. In this article, we will consider how to decorate a corridor in an apartment so that its proportions look harmonious and are not the first thing that catches the eye.
Usually, making out a narrow corridor, they use several techniques.As a result, it visually, as it were, expands. These are the wisdom:
Zoning the space with the following techniques:
As for the color of the walls, I would like to give a couple of tips:
Even the interior of a very narrow corridor can be made fashionable and stylish if certain conditions are met.
In many apartments, galleries of photographs can be seen in the hallway. Although it is fashionable, it is not suitable for a corridor with a small width. What then? For the decoration of the walls of a narrow corridor, it will be appropriate:
There is also such a fashionable design technique, how to visually expand the corridor due to the "living wall":
Besides:
If you decorate the plastered and painted walls between the doors with painting, it will look very beautiful. Only:
Mainly in all corridors natural light no, and if not, then it must be created. If you light it correctly, then this is already 50% of success. Do it like this:
You know what: lamps that give warm light bring objects closer, and cold ones create the impression that the items are further away.
The role of the floor in the design of the corridor in the apartment is not the last and not at all less than the ceiling, walls and lighting.
The furniture must correspond to the dimensions of the corridor. its set is traditional:
These standards can be varied:
For any corridor, designers have some general tips:
For a narrow corridor, horizontal niches are relevant, while:
There are ready-made niches on sale of various shapes, so:
Useful: the niche will be even more original if you use a decorative element such as molding for decoration.
The design of a narrow corridor - a room of small width elongated along the length - is always fraught with difficulties: the imbalance in dimensions requires adjustment to improve the visual effect. How to make a long and narrow corridor more comfortable, expand the space and correctly beat its area? It is necessary to use light wall decoration, choose the right shade and installation method floor covering, complement the design of the corridor with decorative elements. Compact furniture will also help you to visually improve the proportions of a narrow and long corridor, and using some techniques for dividing the space, you can give the room a harmonious look.
Design of a modern corridor (photo)
A corridor in an apartment is usually a narrow and long room that can be visually expanded with the help of well-chosen wall finishes. One of the types of finishes that have proven themselves well in the interior is vinyl wallpapers: durable and variable in design. Wallpaper in a narrow long corridor is better to choose light, with a slight glossy sheen, so that the light is reflected as much as possible from vertical planes.
For the corridor, wallpaper in warm beige tones is preferable: vanilla, cream, milky - so a space in which there is little natural light will be more comfortable. At the same time, the decoration of a narrow corridor does not have to be monochromatic - you can use wallpaper with a small pattern and a strip, combine monochrome and patterned panels, combine a vinyl covering with decorative stone, wood or ceramic panels.
When choosing wallpaper for the design of a narrow corridor, it is better to opt for options with a vertically oriented print, which will visually divide long walls into fragments, creating the illusion of a shorter room. Stylized drawings of bent and twisting branches with flowers or leaves, tree trunks, bamboo stems, vertical ornament and a strip look beautiful in the corridors. If you paste over the lower part of the walls of a narrow and dark corridor with patterned wallpaper, and the top with light monochrome wallpaper, then the space will seem wider.
Sometimes in the design of a narrow corridor, photo wallpapers are used, but they are pasted over the far end wall or a short section of the L-shaped room. When choosing photo wallpaper for the corridor, take a look at the large images that have no perspective development - otherwise the room will seem even longer. The best option would be wallpaper with a 3D pattern of flora and fauna, individual architectural elements, geometric bodies, figures and faces - the design and tint palette of the image are chosen in accordance with the style of the corridor design.
When decorating a narrow corridor in beige or any other light tone, walls are often painted with latex paints that are resistant to damage and easy to maintain as an alternative to wallpaper. Paintwork in the corridor can have a slightly pronounced texture, abstract spotting or a vertical pattern applied using a stencil.
The design of a narrow corridor and, in particular, the ceiling, should be aimed at the visual division of a disproportionate space. It is also important to visually lower the level of the ceiling with the help of finishing, since due to the narrowness of the corridors seem to be higher than they really are. Looks impressive for the corridor stretch ceiling saturated color with spotlights or overhead lamps installed in small steps (0.5-0.7 m). Rhythmically repeating details in the form of lamps placed along the axis of the ceiling divide the plane into separate sections and visually shorten the corridor.
A similar effect can be achieved if plasterboard beams are mounted on the ceiling of the corridor in the transverse direction relative to long walls... If the beams are textured using decorative plaster and paint in a darker color than other planes, then they will divide the ceiling into equal sections, which will smooth out the imbalance of a long room.
You can note that in many photos of apartments with a small corridor, the floor design is often made using laminate - a coating that is quickly installed and budgetary. Laying the laminate in narrow corridors is carried out across the room - if you lay the strips along, the space will visually lengthen even more. You should also not choose a laminate "dark wood" - the more color contrast to the honey floor and ceiling, the higher the room seems. In an elongated corridor of small width, ceilings increase the height of the room.
The role of flooring in the design of the corridor is often played by ceramic tiles - a material that is durable and wear-resistant. It is advisable to select a tile for a narrow corridor rectangular, laying it in the same way as a laminated covering - transversely to the long side of the corridor. You can also use tiled mixes that combine rectangular and square modules of different sizes.
An interesting solution to the design of the floor in a narrow hallway will be tiles with colorful decors, embedded with a certain step into the background masonry and located along an axis along the room. If the decor is bright and contrasting with the overall tone ceramic coating, then it will divide the long strip of floor and visually shorten the corridor.
Narrow hallways and corridors are often equipped with niches - such openings in the walls serve to accommodate necessary things and save space in a small room. In addition, a sequence of several narrow niches on the wall will also help to correct the space - the corridor will not look as long as it really is.
In addition to niches, arches will serve a similar purpose if you build them from wood or drywall, dividing a long corridor into two or three compartments. Stopping the eye on oneself, arches contrasting to the decoration of the walls will create the appearance of a chamber space, and made in a certain style will support the idea of designing a narrow corridor.
The design of a narrow corridor is not only about careful selection finishing materials, but also in a subtle approach to design doorways- in the corridor, they sometimes occupy a decent area of the walls. Door openings for narrow space it is desirable to provide boxes and canvases of light colors: light brown, white, beige. But choose a shade so that it does not merge with the color of the walls. It is desirable that the doors in the corridor have a light gloss - this is necessary to improve the reflective effect.
In most photos with the design of hallways for a narrow corridor, attention is drawn to the fact that the depth of the furniture is not the usual 60 cm, but much less. Depending on the tightness of space, hallways for such corridors are made with a depth of 40 cm, 30 cm, and sometimes even 25 cm. A natural question arises, how to hang clothes on hangers in such a compact hallway or in a wardrobe?
Given the typical small size of housing, manufacturers have developed special retractable rods (microlifts) and pantographs for placing clothes parallel to the plane of the facades. The combination of shallow furniture construction with modern systems filling is the best option if you decide to order a hallway according to individual sizes.
In many photos of the corridors in Khrushchev, the furniture is designed using mirrored facades. This version of the furnishings small rooms helps to lighten the construction of furniture, to give the room airiness. However, it is not recommended to make all the front surfaces of the furniture from a mirror, so that disorientation in space does not occur.
Quite often, furniture for a small-sized corridor is made in the form of a hallway with a shoe rack - a narrow wall cabinet with folding facades, on the inner surface of which special shoe holders are fixed. Curbstones, pencil cases, chests of drawers, hangers for corridors of small width are made with a depth of about 30-35 cm, and the structures mounted type more preferred. Furniture that does not stand on the floor, but is fixed on the wall, visually lightens the space.
The corridor in the apartment often plays the role of a transit room for moving from room to room, and entrance group where it becomes necessary to place a chair, pouf or a bench so that it is comfortable to sit down while taking off or putting on your shoes. Some manufacturers produce compact sofas with a design that is maximally adapted to the conditions of a narrow and long corridor: with a base of small width and a straight back.
A corridor in an apartment is a room that requires painstaking work in terms of design, especially if its dimensions are far from ideal. Publications on the pages of the shopping club WESTWING will help you to make a competent design of the corridor - here you can also pick up beautiful things for decorating your home.
In most apartments, and in some private houses, you can find a long narrow corridor. It is often gloomy and does not attract attention at all. A dull atmosphere in a narrow corridor is created by dark walls, visually reducing an already small space. Poor lighting adds to the gloom of this room. Consider how to decorate a narrow corridor beautifully and visually expand it.
If you solve the problem with insufficient lighting and dark walls, the narrow corridor will immediately change dramatically. You can complement the new perception of such a room by changing the design of the flooring and additional wall decoration.
When choosing wallpaper or paint for the walls of a narrow corridor, it is better to give preference to the most light colors... If in small room no external lighting, the best option for wall decoration can become white. It creates the effect of visual expansion of the room, as it has the ability to reflect light. But if there are small children or pets in the apartment, the white walls of the narrow corridor will quickly get dirty, they will have to be constantly washed or tinted.
In this case, the main tone of the walls of a narrow corridor should be a weakly saturated color with the greatest amount of white. Colors such as light green, blue, pale lilac or coffee with milk are perfect. The walls of a narrow corridor can also be decorated in a light beige pastel tone, as in the photo below.
Good lighting of a narrow corridor will visually expand it, relieve gloom and dullness. Before the corridors of everyone standard apartments were illuminated by two or even one lamp, the light from which was absolutely not enough. For a spacious perception of a narrow corridor, ceiling lights... Depending on the chosen design, these can be spots, lamps or chandeliers. The number of lighting points depends on the power of the bulbs, on which it is highly undesirable to save.
The next photo shows a long narrow corridor, quite light due to a large number in-ceiling lighting and white walls.
If there are two powerful lamps in a narrow corridor, but there is still not enough light, you should try to double such lighting, that is, install two more of the same. Perhaps this will achieve the desired result. Narrow corridors are sometimes illuminated with sconces, but in this case it is important that their rays are evenly distributed.
People make a gross mistake when they decorate the floor of a narrow corridor with a covering with longitudinal stripes. Such a floor visually stretches and narrows the already narrow corridor, distorts and emphasizes its irregular shapes. It is not recommended to make the floor of a narrow corridor too dark and lay a carpet runner on it with a parallel pattern along the edges.
It is better to choose neutral light shades for floor coverings for a narrow corridor. So the corridor will visually look wider and more spacious. The carpet runner is best replaced with a few small rugs. It is good if they have clear graphic drawings or wide stripes. But plain, bright rugs will also fit perfectly into a narrow corridor, especially if the design of the corridor is decorated in a modern style.
In the next photo, the corridor is fairly light, but the floor is decorated with a dark coating. It looks beautiful, but if you mentally replace the dark floor with a light one, the picture would change for the better.
A little more visually expanding the narrow corridor will allow a light wooden flooring mounted in the transverse direction, for example, a parquet board.
First of all, mirrors are used to expand the narrow space of the corridor from wall decor items. If several mirrors have different shapes placed opposite to each other, the result will be impressive.
The next photo shows a not too narrow corridor, one wall of which is shorter than the other. The long wall is framed various mirrors... If you imagine for a second that the second wall looks about the same, you would get a wonderful visual extension of the room with the help of mirrors.
Very often, the walls in the corridor are decorated with paintings or photographs. An example in the photo below.
But in a too narrow room, frames protruding from the walls can interfere with movement along the corridor. This problem can be solved by slightly sinking the picture frames in the wall. True, such a decor of the walls of a narrow corridor requires effort and time. To prevent the photo frames from being touched when moving along the corridor, they can be hung higher. But here you won't be able to use big pictures.
Another corridor design can be seen in the next photo. Here, the width of the room is slightly larger than standard apartment buildings. That is why a compact shelf with decor items fits into this corridor. An example of such a design can be noted for those who have a "moderately" narrow corridor in the house.
The most practical and modern tool for decorating narrow corridors is vinyl wall decals. Firstly, they are inexpensive, and secondly, they absolutely do not interfere with movement along the walls. In addition, decorate the walls vinyl stickers easy peasy. And the most important plus is that only handmade painting will serve as an alternative to them.
The corridor is the first thing that guests see when entering the apartment. His appearance completely determines the impression of the home. But the hallway in high-rise buildings rarely has a lot of space. The owners have to balance on such a line between style and functionality, which is why the design of a narrow corridor turns into a real art, which is not available to everyone.
Owners of small spaces live at the right time. There were years when fashion demanded to litter even relatively small rooms with an abundance of details and elements. It's good that this is already in the past. Modern technologies repairs together with laconic fashion are able to blind a perfect space from a narrow corridor, which is in no way inferior to a wide room in terms of functionality.
Corridor design in a three-room apartment
The first stage in the design of the corridor will be the choice of its style. There are such options:
The right finish is half of a successful design. The specifics of the premises do not require moisture- or heat-resistant materials, the owners are able to make a choice based only on their own preferences.
In no case should the walls in such a corridor be leveled with plasterboard. Wireframe method used for this will steal the innermost centimeters of width, thus doing a "disservice".
For the walls of the corridor apply:
As for the pattern, it is categorically impossible to use either straight lines or a large symmetrical pattern in a narrow elongated corridor. Both options will only stretch and squeeze the room even more. But chaotic abstraction is what is needed for this place.
The best thing to do is to either paint the ceiling white or use a modern one. tension option... The construction of a multi-level ceiling is completely inappropriate here.
Traditionally, ceramic tiles are laid on the floor of the corridor: they require minimal maintenance, are not afraid of erasure and will not become a “death sentence” for dishes like in the kitchen.
With the help of color games, you can correct absolutely any room. The narrow corridor is not an exception, but one of the main confirmations of this rule. The best choice when a long corridor design is being created, there will be light cool colors.
Can and should be combined different colors: wide walls are trimmed with a warm shade, and narrow ones - with a cold light shade - this approach will "shorten" the room.
Without words, it is clear that the excess of dark tones will make the corridor gloomy and negatively affect the perception of space. However, the view of the hospital room due to the use of too light colors in the interior of a narrow corridor, it is also not practical: walls and furniture will often get dirty and require additional care. In this case, the feeling of comfort will be significantly affected.
Psychologists claim to be one of the best color solutions for the corridor will turn green. Believe it or not their opinion is the business of the owners of the living space.
In a space-constrained environment, it is important to determine the basic elements required for the corridor. Every detail must be functional. The following are installed in the corridor:
Clutter most the corridor is not worth it. Ideal is the use of hidden elements built into one of the walls. If its facade is covered, then the space is almost doubled.
Mezzanine - a good option for seasonal storage of things or shoes. The best headset for a narrow corridor is custom made.
A shoe rack will help maintain order in the corridor, especially in apartments where more than one person lives. Diversity available materials allows you to fit this detail into any interior.
A hanger is a must-have attribute in the hallway. And although in a small corridor it is often combined with a wardrobe, there are many successful options for using it in, for example, its corner design.
Undeservedly little attention is paid to the doors in the design of the hallway. But in small room they can occupy up to 30% of the wall space. A general rule of thumb is that doors should always be used if they are used. As with other surfaces, it is preferable to use no dark colors... Will expand the space well. If possible, interior doors can be removed, leaving arches in their place.
The most popular piece of furniture in the hallway in Khrushchev is the wardrobe. This is due to the irregular shape of the room. Instead of piling up the space with many interior details, a single sliding wardrobe with a modular system is installed. Such a furniture element is made to order, which allows you to get the maximum efficient place to store things, and create an object, ideal suitable room by design.
The front of the cabinet can be finished with mirrored panels, small photos, prints or even completely covered with wallpaper in the style opposite wall, which allows you to hide the presence of furniture as such.
There are the following rules to successfully fit a wardrobe into the interior of a long corridor in an apartment:
The approach, when only one central light source is installed in the room, has long been outdated. Lighting will help emphasize decorative elements, visually correct irregular shape premises and expand its area.
Since there is no natural light, one of the most successful decisions there will be the use of halogen lamps, the color rendition of which will make the lighting as close as possible to daylight. Professionals recommend spotlights that can be mounted directly into furniture.
