Arrangement of your home or apartment, we begin with a kitchen or bedroom, maybe with a living room. The corridor is all getting on the residual principle. But it is precisely from him the first impression of the house as a whole. In high-rise buildings, especially built a long time, there are walking lies long, small width. In this article, we consider how to make a corridor in the apartment so that it looks harmoniously and was not the fact that the first striking.

Designer techniques when creating an interior

Usually, making a narrow corridor, use several techniques as a result, it is visual, as if expanding. Here are these wisdom:

1. Maximum simplicity. No massive dark furniture. Put narrow light cabinets with sliding, ideally transparent, doors;
2. Lack of bright and small drawings on the wallpaper;
3. The best wallpapers are monophonic;
4. Light shades, if little light falls into the corridor. The ceiling is light;
5. Fragmentation of space, i.e., the section of it into separate sections. Mandatory allocation:

• entry zone;
• lobby;
• if the sizes are allowed, then create other zones.

Zonate space with the following techniques:

• mounted suspended ceilings at different heights. This option is suitable: at the entrance of the ceiling is smooth, and then - two-level with a built-in backlit on the sides;
• false columns are installed;
• stelite mats, characterized by tone and texture.

As for the color of the walls, I want to give a couple of tips:

1. Very well visually expands and brightens the space white wall color. Especially if it is a corridor without windows. The lack of such an option is impracticity, because the white walls will be painted very quickly;
2. Choose colors:

• light lilac;
• beige;
• salad;
• blue.

Corridor

Even the interior of the corridor is very narrow, you can make fashionable and stylish if you perform some conditions.

Pictures, photos, mirrors

In many apartments in the hallway you can see galleries from photos. Although it is fashionable, but for a corridor with a small width does not fit. And what then? For the design of the walls of a narrow corridor will be appropriate:

• post some photos or paintings of large format. They will give the room some grace and nobility;
• if you still want to spend the photo of small sizes, then do not cease with the amount, select only the best;
• If the pictures or photos - the question is not fundamental, then replace them with mirrors. They expand well and deepen the space, and besides this: the mirrors in the interior are very fashionable;
• frames for mirrors or paintings Choose solid and beautiful;
• in a narrow corridor, vinyl stickers look good instead of paintings, the protruding frames of which, also slightly reduce the size of the room. With the help of stickers, you can create an imitation of artistic painting:
  

"Live Wall"

There is still such a fashionable designer reception, how to expand the visual corridor at the expense of the "living wall":

• krepim on the wall holders;
• we establish vases with alive plants. Plants need to choose those that do not need a lot of light. These include:
• palisot. She is as far as Chapelubiv, that, even the backlight is not needed;
• aspidistra, which will survive in almost any conditions;
• aukuba, which grows in his homeland in a thick shadow and is almost not familiar with sunlight.

Besides:

• the corridor can decorate and outdoor vase;
• high, woven from the vine, the basket on the floor will look harmonious if you have made the whole house in the country style.

Painted

If plastered and painted simpleness between doors, decorate painting, will look very beautiful. Only:

• patterns pick horizontal, air and gentle;
• the backlight is needed.

Light the corridor right

Mostly in all corridors there are no natural lighting, and once there is no, then it needs to be created. If you light it correctly, then this is already 50% of success. Do it like this:

• let the ceiling lights be not alone, but several;
• lighting devices must fit well into the design of the corridor;
• winning option - illumination of mirrors;
• it will be relevant to wall scaves hung in such a way as to ensure uniform light in the room;
• expand the corridor visually help point lights mounted in the ceiling;
• no need to achieve electricity saving due to the power of the bulbs in the corridor, otherwise the result will not achieve. It is better to reduce lighting power in bright rooms.

And you know what: lamps giving warm light, bring objects, and cold - create the impression that items are further.

Paul in a narrow corridor

The role of the floor in the design of the corridor in the apartment is not the latter and no less than the ceiling, walls and lighting.

• The worst solution of such a question, as the expansion of a narrow corridor - longitudinal stripes in the interior. Where they are, anyway. Bad and on wallpaper, and on carpet tracks. They are even more narrowed;
• if the floor is hammered, then put the boards across. The same in the case of striped linoleum or laminate;
• the tile laid on the diagonal will also visually expand the corridor;
• if the floor is unsuccessful, disguise the longitudinal location of the bands with rugs, but not one, but put them in pieces 2-3. Let them be monophonic, bright or with transverse stripes, some geometric pattern;
• If we decide to allocate zones, then the material for the entrance part, it is better to choose a ceramic tile, and for the lobby zone:

1. Parquet;
2. Laminate;
3. Linoleum;
4. You can and the tile of another color;

• the height of the floor in different zones is also allowed to perform not the same.

We select furniture

Furniture must match the sizes of the corridor. The set of it is traditional:

• cupboard:
• hanger;
• stand for shoes or bedside table;
• something in the form of a chest with a mirror and boxes;
• bench, which is successfully replaced by the deputies.

These standards can be given a variety:

• Charm and elegance will give the corridor located along the wall, a narrow console table, replacing the chest. In his boxes, you can hide any little things;
• a bit of space will occupy and suspended narrow tube;

• Under the table console is placed pouf, the cover of which is folded. It can also serve as a storage location of some things.

Designers advise how to visually expand a narrow corridor

For any corridor, designers have several general tips:

• The doors overlooking the corridor must be the same color made in one style;
• When local illumination shows irregularities on the wall, so if they are, it is better not to do lateral light. In this case, the lamps whose head is movable, and the angle of rotation is adjustable;
• Violates the harmony of other premises when you go to the hallway. After performing openings in the form of an archer, setting the columns or matte walls, you will eliminate the feeling of discomfort;
• The total area of \u200b\u200bthe hallway and the area occupied by the furniture must match the proportion of 1/3;
• If the door leaves the room from the room with bright lighting, then let it be at the maximum glazed, then in the room without natural lighting heightens;
• Monotonous, monotonous interior will not give beauty and sophistication to your corridor;
• If the corridor is not only narrow, but not long, put the mirror on the door, and if two mirrors are located on opposite side walls opposite each other, and even highlight them, the volume will significantly increase visually.
• If the corridor is low, then the light floor and the ceiling in combination with the warm tone of the walls will make it visually higher;
• You never need to fix the mirror at an angle, the distorted space will constantly annoy.
• It looks well in a narrow corridor and expand its visually, create a comfortable niches. In addition to beauty, they are also functional: they can serve as a shelf for all necessary trifles, souvenirs. And the material for them is the plasterboard.

About niches and their device

For a narrow corridor, niches are relevant horizontal, while:

• the mirror inside the niche creates visual space, depth;
• if the niche on the wall is not alone, then between them should be the same distance;
• horizontal niches should be placed under each other;
• by its form, the niches should not differ from the form of doors or furniture.

There are ready-made niches of various shapes on sale, so:

• acquire a niche;
• on the wall where the place will be reserved for her we make a note note;
• piercing the plasterboard wall with a selection, determining how much you can remove into depth without disrupting the structure;
• we measure which part of the niches should be included in the wall;
• draw contour on the wall from the previously applied mark;
• strictly observe the horizontality and verticality, and for measurements we use the level and plumb;
• remove the plasterboard from the wall to the required depth using handheld hand;
• we apply "liquid nails" to the back wall;
• put a niche in the resulting deepening;
• watch that landing came out dense;
• the pneumatic equipment is fixing the design on the sides, but you can simply score nails of a small diameter;
• the edge of the niche and the wall we stick with painting tape;
• separate niche.

Can be useful: niche will be even more original if used to finish such a decorative element as molding.
