A narrow and cramped hallway is a real problem for apartment owners.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, told how to make a small corridor visually larger.

Perhaps the title of the simplest method goes to using white paint.

Everything should be white – the floor, the ceiling, the walls... As a result, you will get the effect of a cube, and the boundaries will be blurred.

Thanks to light shades, the room will visually expand and be filled with air and light.

This solution will be especially successful if the interior is decorated in a Scandinavian or minimalist style.

However, this option has a significant disadvantage, which should be taken into account at the repair stage.

The nuance is that the hallway is a high-traffic room through which every visitor passes.

Therefore, to prevent a white corridor from turning black over time, it is worth using high-quality materials in the hallway that are resistant to dirt.
