Hallway and wallpaper design

The entrance hall and wallpaper design are selected depending on the interior of the room and the materials used to manufacture the base plane. In retail there is a large number of wallpapers, it is different in the material of production and its characteristics.

Also, in principle, you can choose any color and shade. Quite often, a combination of this material is used. These are all questions we will consider below and instructions will be given on the rules of choice.

We make a choice of wallpaper for the hallway

Everyone who was engaged in the repair of their home, certainly faced with the problem of selecting wallpaper in the hallway. What color scheme would you prefer for a hallway to have a presentable appearance and at the same time to be functional?

The entrance hall in the apartment acts as a connecting link that connects the dust and vanity of the outside world with the comfort of the hearth. Here we take off our shoes, leaving on the threshold with the shoes layers of dust and dirt brought from the street.

• In this regard, the issue with the color palette of wallpaper in the hallway is immediately resolved. Of course, white and any light shades for the hallway will not work. They are too easily soiled and do not differ in good operational characteristics. Light colors in the design of the hallway can be present only if you purchase a washable type of wallpaper for the walls.
• Designers are also not encouraged to use dark colors for pasting in the hallways. This is especially true for small hallways in small apartments. All shades of black, blue, burgundy and violet colors visually reduce the area of ​​the room. They are able to spoil all the pleasant impressions of the repair. And only the gluing of the walls with wallpapers of lighter tones will help to fix the situation.
• Another disadvantage of dark wallpaper is the need for additional lighting, which entails an increase in the cost of electricity. A small entrance - the corridor can be pasted with wallpaper in a warm floral palette or light without variegated patches. Light-colored wallpapers can be supplemented by drawings, unobtrusive ornament or contrasting patterns.
• On the wallpaper of dark colors, a layer of dust settled on them will not be visible. Light shades of wallpaper will optically add a few meters to a small hallway.
  A great solution for small hallways is wall pasting with murals (see Wall mural in the corridor: make a choice) They can contain any panoramic image. It can also be an image that imitates a fresco or wall painting in bright colors.
• Cold shades visually expand the space of the cramped entrance hall, and warm colors reduce the area of ​​the room.
• A narrow and high entrance hall can only be glued in half. This will give the walls some harmony. Wallpaper is recommended to be combined with wall frames, for the manufacture of which various moldings and ceiling skirting boards are used. Thus, the original decoration in the form of a picture - a landscape is obtained on the wall.
• To visually expand the hallway, you can stick wallpaperdepicting a city in the night flickering lights. Opposite the photo wallpaper, you need to hang a large-sized mirror so that they are reflected there.

Changing the hallway space

The walls in the hallway can be decorated in various combinations of wallpaper:

• The lack of natural light can be compensated for by a combination of dark wallpapers with wallpapers of light tones.. The lower part of the wall is glued with a dark color, and the upper part with a light cloth. The joints of the wallpaper are glued with a decorative border that contrasts with the wall covering.

Attention: With the help of dark-colored wallpaper, the wall is protected from its possible pollution, light shades of the upper part make the hallway lighter and more spacious. This gluing method is optimal for small rooms.

• Light, cool tones of wallpaper are perfect for cramped hallways.. It can be blue, lavender, light gray, blue and light purple shades. They are able to visually increase the area of ​​the room.
• For spacious hallways that receive enough light, you can purchase wallpapers that have rich colors, or wallpaper with a pattern of large, but not bright patterns.
• If the hallway is quite spacious and bright, then for gluing its walls you can buy wallpaper with a rich color palette or canvases containing large and not bright drawings.
• The entrance hall, made in the form of a trailer, the walls of which are elongated in length, is recommended to be glued with two shades of wallpaper.: the surface next to the door is pasted over with the help of one color, and for the remaining walls use wallpaper of a similar shade. Also, this type of hallway can be decorated with photowall-paper with a perspective image in combination with a wallpaper covering of light tones without any drawings and patterns.
