Traditional hallway interior design
The interior design of the hallway is especially important because the hallway is the very first place where everyone who enters the house gets to. And you can use it to determine what awaits the guests ahead, from the point of view of decor, of course. But many people do not attach much importance to this, the hallway is designed according to the residual principle. Most often it is standard and boring.
Therefore, here are some ideas for the interior design of the hallway, using which you can give the house a spectacular look already at the entrance.
When guests enter the house, their gaze automatically turns to the floor, so you need to make sure that it leaves a lasting impression. It is worth choosing an interesting neutral shade for the floor, set the lighting so as to add an additional play of tones so that the color becomes complex and intricate. This effect can also be achieved by choosing a texture coating. Moreover, the irregularities help to hide the fine dirt. It would not be superfluous to choose a durable material, because they will walk on such a floor not only in home shoes.
Neutral or pastel colors reflect light, making the room more spacious. The use of light walls makes the hallway wider, in addition, you can divide the wall surface with an even lighter color. If the lower part is painted lighter, it will give contrast to the floor and add attractiveness to the interior.
If it is decided to glue wallpaper in the hallway, then you need to choose them very carefully. You should not use those that remain after the renovation of the rooms, or buy the first "decent" ones that come across. Traditional floral wallpaper can give a very stylish look to the hallway. The main thing is to choose them according to the color of the setting, the pattern should not be very small so that the flowers can be viewed, but also large inflorescences in a small hallway will be inappropriate. Such wallpaper looks very nice at the bottom of the wall, while you can use only one drawing, just divide the surface with polyurethane molding.
The right thing to do in the hallway is to install a coffee table in it. But you should try to save space at the same time. In this case, a console table on two legs with a countertop in the form of a semicircle will fit perfectly. Stick it to the wall, attaching it under a mirror or a painting, it will give exactly the note to the decor that will complete the design of the hallway or the long narrow corridor immediately behind it.
If space allows, it is best to install a mirror in the hallway, choose a large one: from ceiling to floor. It will make a narrow room wider and brighter by reflecting the light from the chandelier.
Always place a narrow carpet in the hallway or at the entrance to the house, contrasting with the color of the walls. Simple, without unnecessary patterns and decorations, but hiding the charm of the passing era.
In order to add a traditional coziness, you should decorate the walls with photos or your favorite paintings, tapestries. This technique will allow you to isolate the space of such a "walk-through" place, especially if there are family photos that guests will begin to admire, this will contribute to a warm conversation.
It is necessary to hang a beautiful and large lamp: a chandelier or even a stylized street lamp. The more light there is, the more spacious the hallway will seem.
Well, what kind of an entrance hall without a hanger and a shoe cabinet? It may be small, but it will give the space a new meaning. A simple cabinet for a couple of drawers, even if there will be only newspapers there.
When decorating an entrance hall, even in a traditional style, you need to use all possible space and play with color and lighting to expand a narrow room, give it a more correct shape.
