When entering an apartment, you want to create a pleasant impression of the furnishings and interior of the house.
Therefore, cramped and gloomy spaces are not the best design options.
What mistakes create this impression?
Wrong choice of finishing materials
If your hallway is small in size, then stylish black and dark gray shades should be avoided, reminds Yulia Tychino, an expert on design issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
The space also appears smaller due to the use of photo wallpaper and finishing materials with large patterns.
Mess
You shouldn't store in the hallway everything that you don't have room for in the rest of the apartment: this is the main reason for the cramped space.
It is best to store shoes in specially designated places, and to allocate a beautiful basket for small items.
Order will always look appropriate.
Volumetric furniture
It is impossible to decorate a hallway without furniture, but it is worth giving up bulky pieces in favor of more modern and compact models.
First of all, it is worth considering your needs. For example, there is no need to install a full-fledged built-in wardrobe for storing clothes if you already have one in the bedroom.
