Very small hall: designers' tips
Experts have long learned by means of some tricks to expand the space a little. This is very important for the design of a small hallway. There are several methods of visual illusions:
- Most often in the apartment the entrance hall is so small that several people can not simultaneously fit in it. That's why designers are advised to leave as much open space as possible . The design of furniture for the hallway should be maximally thought out, get rid of extra mezzanines, bulky cabinets.
- Ideas for design of small hallways are sometimes simple and obvious. It's very easy to expand the space a little with the help of mirrors and light: small niches with illumination, through stained-glass windows and mirror inserts. Finishing materials can work wonders. From the opaque and dark it is better to give up altogether. Wood, stone or bulk plaster will only weight the interior and "eat" the place. The most optimal version of the walls - vinyl or non-woven wallpaper.
- Playing with light. Due to the correct selection of the lighting solution, you can slightly increase the hallway visually. Backlight niches, shelves, floor lamps - all this will make the lighting design more interesting. Mirrors or stained-glass windows, reflecting light, a little "spread out" the walls.
- Color solution for small hallway design. Decoration of the ceiling, floor and walls is best done in one color scheme. It is preferable to use beige, white, pastel shades. You can a little revitalize the interior with a few bright accents. A very small hallway will seem more if you prefer a glossy false ceiling. At first glance it may seem that it will take away precious centimeters. In fact, it is reflective light and built-in lamps that visually expand the room and create the impression of height.
- The design of the small hallway should begin with the choice of finishing the floor . If you correctly design the floor, the hallway will seem bigger. A good trick is to take out the floor finishing slightly outside the entrance hall, go into the kitchen or the living room a bit. When you enter the apartment, subconsciously assess the size of the room, lowering your eyes to the floor. Therefore, it is so important to visually expand the dimensions of the hallway.
- Design of furniture for the hallway. If the hallway is made in the form of a small narrow corridor, use a bulky
overall furniture can not be. A place for seasonal things, junk is better defined in one of the rooms. Furniture for small hallways should be concise and presupposes only the most necessary. It is better not to build a closet or other heavy construction, this will only worsen the situation. It is quite possible to do with a hanger in the form of a plank. You can hang a small shelf for the phone and hats. Try to use a few different small details, it visually smudges the interior. It is permissible to use a wardrobe only in the form of a niche. For such a premise, it is preferable to choose furniture of closed type, the pendant furniture fits well, in addition, it will shorten the cleaning time.
