Lighting rules
When choosing a lighting system for a hall, it is necessary to take into account many parameters:
- light distribution, which requires a specific room, largely depends on the functional areas;
- brightness of light, presence of natural light;
- brilliance;
- color rendering level;
- flickering;
- direction and type of light flux (scattered light, point, directional).
You can add originality to the interior of the hall bywith the help of several types and levels of lighting. cannot be complete without taking into account such parameters. But they also need to be approached carefully. Many people make the mistake of thinking that 1 chandelier in the center of the room is enough, but this is far from true. Not only general but also local lighting is necessary, which will create maximum comfort. It is important to take this into account when using separate zones, since the level of illumination for them should be completely different. Design rules provide for a combination of diffused and reflected light, today multi-level lighting is also popular. A private house usually has a hall where only a recreation area is equipped, as in Fig. 1. Therefore, attention should be paid to ensuring that the light is soft, not directed at the TV screen or towards vacationers. Return to contents</a>
Arrangement of furniture
The environment is the basis for anyinterior, and this is no exception for the hall. Furniture is subject to even more requirements than other rooms, since it performs several functions. Furniture can also serve as a means of zoning the space (Fig. 2). Upholstered furniture (various sofas, armchairs, ottomans) is used for the hall, and cabinet furniture in the form of wardrobes, cabinets, and shelves is often used. Coffee and dining tables, wall and floor shelves, equipment stands, and much more are used for the hall.
Figure 1.The light in the hall should be soft, not directed at the TV screen or towards the resting inhabitants of the house. As you can see, there are many pieces of furniture for the hall in the house. But how to choose exactly what is needed for a specific environment? When arranging, you need to pay attention to the purpose of the room. For example, if the living room is used as a place for the whole family to relax, then this area will be the central one. The choice and arrangement of furniture is carried out taking into account this feature of the room. A large and comfortable sofa, armchairs, a coffee table, a stand for a TV panel, shelves for magazines and books are suitable here. In this case, the ideal arrangement is when the TV is on one side of the zone, and the sofa and armchairs for those sitting on the other. This arrangement allows everyone to see the TV and each other well. The table is usually in the middle, you can place another small one near the sofa so that those sitting can put a cup of coffee on it. You will also have to follow several rules for the hall:

What errors can not be tolerated?
Figure 2.Furniture not only decorates the hall, but also performs the function of zoning the space. When arranging furniture, it is necessary to remember that excessive clutter of objects should be avoided, personal spaces should not intersect. For example, it will be inconvenient to use a table if chairs are pushed close to it. In this case, a private house has advantages over an apartment, there is no need to place a massive dining table or a workplace in the hall. If there is enough space, then the dining area will be quite appropriate. It must be separated from the rest of the space. Various methods are used for this. Such separation depends entirely on the chosen interior style, but most often elegant shelves with dishes and various accessories are used. Too much furniture cannot be used for this zone, even if the room is large. The best options would be chairs and a table made in the same style as the rest of the furnishings, low cabinets with dishes, shelves, and a sideboard. For a small hall, the choice of furniture must be limited, it is better not to put anything in the center of the room. The so-called transforming furniture, which folds up after use, is perfect. Usually, a fold-out sofa, a table, several chairs or armchairs, and small cabinets are used for small living rooms. The TV panel can be placed on hanging shelves or special brackets so as not to take up much useful space. The design of the hall in a private house depends on many parameters. It is necessary to choose the right furniture, choose a color scheme for the entire setting. Attention should also be paid to what the lighting will be, especially if the room is large and separate zones are provided.
