The hallway, perhaps, is the only place in the apartment, subject to severe pollution. It is regularly filled with dirt and dust from the street, so it should be taken into account when choosing a finishing material for walls and floors. How to make this room functional, beautiful and maximally "wear-resistant"? One of the effective ways to solve this problem is to use a decorative stone in the interior of the hallway. What material to choose and how to organize the clutch? About this below.
Decoration of the hallway with decorative stone
Designers of apartments advise to use an artificial stone made on the basis of gypsum or cement. Its advantages over natural material are obvious:
- resistant to temperature changes;
- easy to clean (which is very important in the case of the corridor);
- does not burn out under the influence of sunlight;
- is attached to any basis;
- light, but not fragile;
- does not crumble during installation;
- suitable for facing curvilinear surfaces;
- has a wide palette of colors and textures.
If your choice falls on a natural stone, then be prepared for the big expenses. The cost of the material will be much higher, and, consequently, the price for the work will change.
How to decorate an anteroom with a decorative stone?
The most important advice - do not use a stone to decorate all the walls in the room. In this case, it will resemble a cellar or a medieval fortress. Limit your use of fragmentary motifs. You can polish a niche with stone tiles in the walls, places under certain pieces of furniture, plots under the plinth, "contact zones" (a place for shoes, a hanger, a rack).
To emphasize the original design of the walls, it is desirable to combine the stone with other finishing materials of natural origin (wood, bamboo , plaster moldings). Wallpaper choose light, discreet tones (beige, gray, brown, milky). As a floor covering, use a tile or laminate.
Design of decorative stone in the hallway
When decorating the hallway with a decorative stone, it is important to take into account the texture of the material. It can be:
- crushed stone (imitation of untreated rock: quartz, limestone, granite);
- Butovy (pebbles, smooth boulders);
- Sawed (resembles a sawn block with well-defined edges);
- classic brick.
When decorating the hallway, use only one, a maximum of two similar types of stone.
