Hallways are the first place in the house at the entrance. Therefore, many owners try to make their entranceway the most presentable. We've found the most fantastic halls and corridors from our archive for design ideas to inspire you. Hallways come in different sizes, large and small, narrow and long, combined with a living room. For all types of the hallway, we have found many interior designs for you.
The hallway is usually one of the last spaces we decorate at the time of retirement. By being seen as a limited place, we often fail to invest in it. Besides being a place of passage to other rooms it is used very commonly, however, there is no reason to leave it white, apathetic and bland.
It can be decorated with supporting furniture such as shelves and backers, with pictures and artwork, with unique and differentiated lighting or even wallpapers that change the face of the walkway. A popular choice is the mounting of murals with family photographs, travel, and meetings, a way to tell the story and the residents' experiences to their guests.
1. Measures
For interiors of residences and apartments, it is recommended that the corridor has a minimum width of 0.90m.
2. Painting and colors
Light-colored walls give the impression of broader and more open space, so prefer neutral tones or pastels. An excellent idea to highlight the end of the aisle is to paint it with a darker shade than the one used on the side. Dark colors are not recommended in small hallways as they can cause discomfort. In a full hall, they can be used to bring more personality into the environment.
3. Frames
For small hallways, the idea is to invest in a composition of frames and frames on the wall. Choose items that contrast with the sober color of the wall, most often opting for colored frames. To have a lighter effect, you can fix frames and frameless photos, ideal for narrow aisles.
4. Floors
Using a long treadmill can help attract the look down the hallway, making it look longer. Long carpets leave the space cozier, and the mirror is an excellent trick to the limitations of the environment. Try placing it on the background wall as it will have a nice effect with the reflection of the image.
5. Lighting
Lighting is the touch that can make all the difference in your hallway. Place the spaced luminaires equally along the corridor, because having only one spot of light in the center may give the impression that the passage is narrower than reality. If you want to make it attractive and modern, invest in plasterboard lined with ribbons inlaid with LED lighting.
6. Furniture
The shelves and narrow sideboards are ideal objects to decorate. They serve as support for decorative frames and accessories, which makes the space much more pleasant. The niches are also a great option to support objects without interfering with circulation.
