Interior of the corridor

Convenient, functional and at the same time - a cozy and beautiful interior of the corridor can be quite difficult to think over. The fact is that the entrance hall, as a rule, the smallest and darkest room in the house, but it must have a significant functional.
This problem is often complicated uncomfortable layout of the apartment: if in some apartments there is enoughspacious and square hallway, in others there is only a narrow corridor, in which even without furniture it is difficult to turn around. What is worth remembering when planning a corridor interior?
Before you take up the interior of the corridor, what functions are there in this room? Most often an entrance hall is needed to:
- wear / remove street clothes and shoes;
- store street clothes and shoes;
- store necessary items and accessories (bags, hats, scarves, gloves, umbrellas, keys, etc.).
It turns out that it is necessary to plan the interior of the corridor, proceeding from features of the premises and its purpose. How to make an interior design in Moscow (however, not only) for the corridor convenient and functional, "squeezing" the maximum of a modest area and layout?
Let's start with the walls and the floor. Most often the corridor is a rather narrow room of a small area. Therefore, the walls are tasked to visually expand it. Most often for this purpose walls paint in light colors and shades or pasted with light wallpaper. If you still decide to give preference to dark shades, you will need to intelligently select the lighting and pattern. A horizontal elongated pattern will help visually to make the corridor wider.
Separately worth mentioning and flooring. A corridor is a room in which people enter into street shoes. therefore The floor covering should be waterproof and easy to wash. Ideal option is the tile in the tone of the walls. By the way, the moisture resistance of the walls is also worth taking care of.
So, let's go further. A good corridor interior will not work for you if you pick the wrong one furniture. Often in the hallway there are many things (clothing, accessories, etc.), but they are not recommended to expose them - the less in the corridor of visible things, the better. In the interior of the corridor, the closet will fit perfectly. Such cabinets are made by individual order,This means that the closet will perfectly fit into your corridor. Most wardrobes are equipped with a mirror door, which also helps to visually expand the room.
Note that wet and wet clothing in the cabinet is not recommended to hang, so in the corridor you need to put more open hanger. There you can store umbrellas. Near the door is not superfluous shelf for keys, bags, etc. For home and outdoor shoes it is necessary to provide a special shelf (inside the cabinet or separately). For you and your guests to be comfortable changing their shoes, it does not hurt chair or at least stool - if the size of the room does not allow you to put a chair.
The functional interior of the corridor is impossible without proper lighting. Properly arranged lighting will help you visually make the room larger. The best option - multilevel lighting with ceiling and spotlights, illumination of mirrors. If finances permit, you can purchase fixtures with motion sensors.
The corridor lighting should be maximizednatural. Many use in the design of the hallway lamps with fluorescent lamps (fluorescent lamps), but this can not be done. Such lamps distort the color reproduction. Most women throw their last glance at their reflection in the mirror in the corridor, just before they exit the street. The fluorescent lamp will distort the colors, and in the light of day the colors of the makeup and clothes will not be entirely appropriate. Therefore, the interior of the corridor is better to supplement halogen lamps or incandescent lamps - their color spectrum is closer to natural illumination.
So, the interior of the corridor should be primarily functional: nothing superfluous - places and so little. But the design of the hallway should be decorated with taste, because the corridor is the face of your apartment.
