The first room visitors enter is the hallway. in a private house plays a key role, since it is by the design of the hall that one can draw conclusions about the taste and preferences of the inhabitants of the home. The hallway should reflect the general thematic focus of all rooms in the house. Before starting to develop a design project, you should familiarize yourself with the various options for decorating the hall in the photo, which shows the most rational design solutions.
Wall decoration
When decorating the walls of the hall, you should take into account that they will take a significant load, since when getting dressed, we often lean on the walls. In addition, the wall finishing must be of high quality and resistant to mechanical stress and abrasion.
They should be discarded, since they are fragile materials; preference is given to wooden panels or facade plaster. You can also paint the walls using paints. The general requirements for hallway wall coverings are:
- wear resistance;
- ease of care;
- maintainability;
- strength.
For finishing, non-marking coatings should be used, since the white hall will look representative only in the first few weeks after finishing.
The following finishing materials can be used to decorate the hallway walls:
- liquid or vinyl wallpaper;
- water-based paint;
- facade plaster;
- clinker tiles;
- wooden panels.
Choosing flooring
The requirements for flooring coincide with the requirements for the quality of wall finishing. To finish the hallway floor, you can use laminate, ceramic tiles or waterproof laminate. Parquet, although it looks representative, has low resistance to mechanical stress and abrasion, and therefore is not suitable for finishing the floor in the hall. As for carpet, despite the variety of colors, this floor covering gets dirty easily and will require constant cleaning.
Ceiling decoration
The decoration of the ceiling in the hall can be absolutely anything: from suspended ceilings to special ceiling tiles. You can simply paint the ceiling with paint.
Advice: When painting the ceiling, you should first level the surface, eliminate scratches, cracks and dents.
Examples of ceiling decoration in the hallway can be seen in the photo.
Hallway color scheme
The color scheme in the hall should correspond to the thematic focus of the interior. Choosing the right color scheme for the main surfaces of the room will help to increase the space of the hall. You should remember the basic rule: in order to visually expand the space, the wall decoration should be several tones darker than the color of the ceiling and lighter than the floor covering.
Furniture selection
After finishing the main surfaces, they begin to fill the hall with the necessary set of furniture. The interior of the hallway in the house should be practical and not contain unnecessary items. Among the main elements of the furniture are a wardrobe or a hanger for outerwear, a shelf for shoes, a place for hats, an umbrella stand, a mirror, a chest of drawers and a place to sit. This set of items is quite enough to create a harmonious and practical space.
You can place accents in the interior with the help of a beautiful mirror, made in accordance with the requirements of the style of the hall. For example, you should opt for an ornate mirror framed in a gilded carved frame. In addition, such a mirror must be accompanied by a console table. Examples of hallway design in various styles can be seen in the photo.
