A small hallway: how to create a practical interior
The house begins with an entrance hall: it is she who creates the first impression of the guests and the mood of the hosts. The close space and unsuccessful planning is a scourge of small apartments. Is it possible to make a small entrance hall suitable for comfortable operation? Designers offer a reasonable compromise between desires and opportunities.
Refuse the furniture sets. Ergonomic designs from external pedestals, chests of drawers and shelves are intended, first of all, for halls and spacious rooms: they are compact and convenient. But in the small hallway the dignity of the furniture sets turns into flaws: the shelves eat precious meters and create the clutter effect, becoming extremely impractical and inappropriate. Equip one of the walls with a system of hooks and hangers, and for things take a seat in another room.
Use sliding systems. This rule applies equally to the interior doors and built-in wardrobes. Movable structures mounted on mini-rails will additionally save space and minimize the risk of injury: no more bruising from the corners and door handles.
Do not forget about useful trivia. Choose for the hallway functional items: chests of drawers, hanging drawers or multi-level hangers. Take care of good lighting: additional light sources will create a special comfort and visually expand the space. Try to equip the sliding systems with smooth facades with streamlined corners and mirror surfaces - it's not only convenient, but also stylish.
