How to design a hall in a modern style

This room welcomes guests, she escorts them. Therefore, everything should be perfect here. The first impression plays an important role. And the hall has a key position in this. The perfect design of the living room or kitchen will not look so great when this area will have many flaws. Therefore, during the repair, be sure to pay due attention to the design of the hallway.

Making space will be easier if the area allows you to divide the room into two parts - the entrance hall and the hall

It’s quite difficult to work here. It has certain features that must be considered when arranging. They became the reason for the appearance of the rules for decorating the entrance hall.

• Use light colors. Often this room has a small size. For this reason, dark colors will be inappropriate here, and the opposite - will make the room softer and more spacious.
  

  Finishing materials in the hallway should adjust the space: make the dark light and the narrow expand

• Think of an artificial lighting system. This room is devoid of natural light, as there are no windows. This disadvantage has to be compensated by lamps. Take care of areas requiring detailed study.
  

  The degree of illumination of the hallway should be no less than in neighboring rooms, regardless of the time of day

• Do not forget about furniture. Each room performs its functions. No exception is described. In order to fully perform the assigned functions, there must be appropriate furniture. But remember: the main thing is not to overdo it. Find a middle ground, and follow this principle.
  

  Furniture in the hallway should “meet” clothes

Combine beauty and functionality. Do not sacrifice one indicator for another. Everything should be harmonious. Remember that this room is small and dark. Your task is to turn these indicators into advantages, guided by the rules of design.

We work in detail

Before creating your own hallway design options, you need to work out the individual elements in detail.

Contrast solution will help to make the hallway stylish and aesthetic: the walls are in soothing colors, and the furniture or door is saturated in color

Let's see what details are better suited for a certain area, what to use for decoration and other subtleties.

In the hallway, it is undesirable to keep extra small objects that pile up space. It should be only everything you need

Here are the basic elements and principles of their processing in brief. We will analyze them in more detail, and some other important details.

The best wall decoration

If you want to make repairs efficiently and inexpensively, give preference to wallpaper for decorating the walls in the hallway. In the construction market you will find many modifications of the proposed material.

Vinyl wallpapers suffer better mechanical damage compared to paper

The main thing is to choose the color and texture. A win-win option is beige. He will make the room homely, cozy and spacious. Regarding the texture - here the choice is only yours, you can look at both smooth and embossed views.

Wallpaper for painting is characterized by a long service life with the ability to completely change the color scheme

Decorative plaster. Great replacement for wallpaper. Choose a suitable form that does not contain toxic substances and calmly use it indoors. Here you can create any texture, as well as apply a drawing on top.

Textured plaster is suitable for decorating the entrance hall according to all requirements: resistant to abrasion, easy to clean and allows you to create a variety of surfaces in style with other rooms

Another popular decoration method is decorative brick or stone. It is not suitable for all styles, but it looks attractive and modern.

The cost of the stone is quite high, but it is not necessary to clad the entire entrance hall. To revitalize the interior, just close the sections of the walls that are most dirty

Remember that this type of decoration should be in harmony with the rest of the room. Therefore, choosing it, think over and design other details.

What to lay on the floor

Since there is often a lot of dirt near the front door, especially in rainy weather, it is better to choose a dark flooring. Well suited linoleum in the color of natural wood or laminate.

For the hallway, a laminate with a high degree of wear resistance is suitable - 31, 32 or 33 classes

Often in here you can find tiled floors. This is also an acceptable option. But there is one drawback: dust and dirt collect at the joints between the tiles, it is subsequently difficult to wash it from there, and this spoils the appearance.

Combined floor in the hallway

Advice! A must-have element in the hallway should be a rug.

Ideally, there should be two rugs: outdoor and indoor

Do not forget about the rug. It performs an important function: it traps particles of dirt and debris brought from the street. Choose a quality product that will fully perform the function. And remember that with each cleaning it needs to be taken out and cleaned.

How to make a ceiling

There is no difficulty, if you remember the main rule - simplicity. Regardless of whether the ceiling is low or high, its design should be simple. Sophisticated decor makes the room heavier, making it smaller and darker. In this case, this is unacceptable.

Given the necessary simplicity, we have many possible design options. Regarding the color scheme: choose neutral tones. White, beige, milk and delicate pastel shades are best suited. To create unobtrusive patterns, interspersing black, yellow, green, violet blue, etc. is permissible. The main thing is to follow the rules of harmonious combination.

For a compact hallway, a simple one-level ceiling is ideal

So, the first option is wallpaper. Common, easy and cheap. Just like for walls, ceiling varieties of wallpaper you will find plenty. But remember that it is undesirable to cover the walls and ceiling with the same wallpaper. Choose similar or contrasting, but not the same.

The ceiling is made of MDF or PVC panels, but the design is an amateur

Next, pay attention to the paint. In addition to gentle pastel colors, here you can add yellow, blue or lilac, depending on the chosen direction.

The stretch ceiling will make the interior ultra-modern, beautiful and fashionable. Thanks to the glossy surface, it visually enlarges the room and gives it more light. A white stretch ceiling is the best choice here.

Another advantage of a suspended ceiling is a quick and “clean” installation.

We select accessories

Do not forget to include important accessories in the design of the hallway.What is necessary:

• cupboard;
• mirror;
• housekeeper;
• puff.

Mirrored surfaces visually spaced walls

It is best to purchase a hybrid cabinet model that holds all of the above items. But you can pick up each detail separately.

Cupboard. It is necessary to place outerwear and shoes. You can put on a wall and a hanger, but it is better if the clothes are hidden from prying eyes, so you get the most harmonious look. The most convenient view is a wardrobe. It does not take up much space, but it contains all the necessary elements for storing things.

The cabinet should be as convenient and practical as possible.

To be comfortable wearing shoes, add a pouf or stool. It will become a design element and will fulfill an important function.

The main purpose of the pouf is a comfortable and comfortable seat, but it can also serve as a place to store shoes

The mirror can be designed permanently or be built into the cabinet. Both options are wonderful. When choosing, proceed from the dimensions of the space.

There are stands for umbrellas with a special lining, absorbing water draining from the umbrellas

You can add a separate key holder and stand for umbrellas. They will be appropriate in spacious apartments. Remember, you should not overload a small space with excess furniture and accessories.

Choosing Modern Styles

For the interior to be modern and harmonious, you need to choose the appropriate style. Following the rules of the chosen direction, you will not encounter difficulties in choosing the method and color of decoration. Because combining the general principles of decorating the hall and the laws of a particular style, you will receive a vector, following which it will simply be guided in the situation.

Minimalism - a great solution for the smallest room in the apartment

So, the first style that is worth attention is minimalism. This is the scourge of modernity. Today it is used everywhere. And for the hallway, where there is little space and lack of light, it fits perfectly. Based on the name, we understand that he professes the principle of "nothing more", which is important for this room. The color scheme of minimalism is mainly limited to white and gray. These cool and bright colors will help create a discreet and spacious interior.

Simple geometric shapes and clear straight lines

High-tech design allows you to use beige and other pastel colors. With it, you will be able to create a fresh, comfortable and modern room. Here you will also not meet extraneous things.

A distinctive feature of the style - glossy surfaces, in themselves expanding the space

High-tech maximally combines comfort and beauty. He welcomes multifunctional headsets, light colors and contrasting combinations - in our case, is a great choice.

Another common topical area is the loft.

Loft is still popular and inexpensive

In a negotiated situation, it will also be appropriate. It is characterized by an urban orientation and following the basic principle of minimalism. In this case, it will be appropriate to apply the brickwork mentioned earlier as wall decor.

Summary

• use light colors;
• minimum of furniture;
