Getting to know the house begins with the hallway, soit is unacceptable to neglect its design. But in the interior of tiny modern hallways it is so difficult to combine functionality and aesthetics. Our advice will help you solve this problem Most people do not pay attention to the design of the hallway, citing its unpromising (from a design point of view) tiny size, as well as the fact that such a room is a walk-through and is not intended for spending a long time. However, psychologists say that the first impression of what a person sees is formed in just a few seconds. This means that the time during which your guests take off their shoes is quite enough for them to form an opinion about the house and its inhabitants. Today we will allow ourselves to give our readers some useful and practical advice that will help to decorate even an indecently small hallway with dignity. No bulky furniture sets. Ideally, cabinets should be replaced with open hangers, wall shelves and a shoe box. Such a minimalist set saves space and encourages maintaining order in the hallway. A small closet up to 45 centimeters deep with open sections (without doors) is also welcome.
Use corners.Corner furniture takes up significantly less space and allows you to use those centimeters of space that are usually left unattended. For ease of installation and maximum space savings, choose models without a back wall. Hang a mirror. It is simply necessary in the hallway. Firstly, you will always be able to admire how you look, and secondly, a large mirror on the wall will help to visually expand the space. If there is no suitable place in the hallway to hang a mirror, opt for a cabinet with a mirrored wall or door.
Think of a shoe storage system.Usually, it is carelessly placed shoes that are the cause of disorder in the hallway. To avoid this, you need to move away from the stereotype that shoes and boots should be placed exclusively at the bottom. Use not only floor cabinets and boxes for storage, but also wall shelves, side racks, hooks. And if you want to hide your shoe treasures from prying eyes, baskets or decorative boxes will help you.
Choose the color wisely.It is obvious that a small hallway deprived of natural light is best decorated in light pastel colors. However, dark colors should not be ignored either. They can adjust the geometry of the room. For example, in a narrow, elongated hallway, it is recommended to make the longitudinal walls light, and the transverse walls (usually the entrance and interior doors are located in them) - darker. This technique will save you from the feeling of sliding walls. Do not skimp on lighting. Since natural light usually penetrates the hallway with difficulty, you need to replace it with artificial light. One light source is unlikely to be enough. The minimum set for a small hallway should consist of several lamps with light directed at the ceiling (they will visually raise it) and adjustable mirror lighting (it is installed from above to avoid distortion of the reflection). It would also be a good idea to equip open shelves with spotlights.
