Designers talked about mistakes when decorating a narrow hallway
A narrow hallway is a problem faced by owners of small apartments. Interior designers will tell you about frequent mistakes in the design of this part of the apartment.
Poor quality of finishing materials. When choosing wallpaper, paints and coatings for finishing the hallway, you should remember about the passability in this place. Light wallpaper or paint, paper wallpaper or parquet is not the best solution for a hallway. Preference should be given to practical building materials - washing wallpaper, moisture-resistant paints, wood-like ceramic tiles.
The lack of paint will negatively affect the perception of a small hallway. This is being interpreted corny. Transition zone from the entrance to the room. To transform a dull space, just include a few dark accent tones.
Furniture that is too bulky will also get in the way. Especially if three or four people enter the hallway at the same time. Nevertheless, even in a small hallway one cannot do without a shoe cabinet or a reliable clothes hanger. It is worth remembering that a few pairs of shoes or casually thrown over jackets will create a feeling of tightness.
Lack of lighting is felt not only in narrow hallways. Ineffective or too bad light will play an additional narrowing of the space. Ideal for a narrow hallway - soft overhead light, complemented by night lights or LED strips.
And what is important is to create a uniform and consistent decor that will become part of the entire apartment. An element of one story. A hallway in which it is comfortable not only to undress, but also to sit after a difficult day.
