How to Use the Useless Space of a Large Hallway in an Apartment: 3 Ideas – One Better Than the Other

The layout of some apartments is unable to evoke any other feelings except surprise and bewilderment, since the square meters between the rooms are distributed very strangely.
The living room is small, the bedroom is narrow, the bathroom and kitchen are cramped, but the hallway is very spacious. If you are faced with such a situation, the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino , will certainly help you.
Separate a section of the hallway
If the hallway is large and the other rooms are small, "bite off" part of the hallway. You can make two rooms out of one by using additional partitions. However, you shouldn't use the entire hallway in order to leave part of the room isolated - it's unlikely that your guests will be comfortable going from the living room to the bathroom in full view of everyone.
Use the emptiness in the center
Have you arranged the furniture in the hallway and realized that the center is still free? Place a small table here for mail and other small items, and next to it you can put a sofa where you can have heart-to-heart conversations.
Important: so that this area does not merge with the rest of the room, it needs to be highlighted – with lighting, a carpet or a pattern on the floor.
And be sure to ensure that the furniture in the center of the hallway does not interfere with the movement of guests and family members.
Turn a hallway into a room
If the hallway is not just big, but very big, leave a couple of “squares” for necessary things like a closet and a bench, and give the remaining meters to another room – a work area, a library or a laundry room.
