Lack of free space in the hallway is a common problem.

Very often the premises are overly cramped and lack coziness.

However, anyone can make the hallway look more spacious. To do this, it is enough to perform three actions.

Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, spoke about interesting design techniques.

Mirror

Let's start with the simplest technique. You can visually expand the room by installing a mirror.

The reflective surface should be located on one of the side walls. It is desirable that the mirror immediately catches the eye.

If desired, the hallway can be visually extended. To do this, it is enough to install a mirror surface on the far wall. This will create a feeling of great distance.

A properly designed floor

Rooms appear wider if the floor covering is made up of a combination of boards that are laid across rather than lengthwise.

This technique will make the walls appear to be “pushed back”.

Correct placement of lamps

A similar effect can be achieved by directing the light to the sides.

Let the lamps "look" not at the floor, but at the walls. And then the room will become much more spacious.
