The hallway can be called the “calling card” of the entire apartment, because it is here that the first impression of the house and its owners is formed.
What it will be like – that very first impression, according to the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, designer Yulia Tychino , depends on how well thought out the design of the room and its functionality are.
Apartment owners face another challenge – not to forget about practicality, because they cannot allow street dirt to get into the living area.
For this reason, design experts advise using zoning to visually separate the “dirty” area and the living space.
And don’t let the small size of the hallway scare you: on the contrary, the entrance area, highlighted with color, will become more original and harmonious.
If you don’t want to clearly separate the room, you can get by with just using tiles or waterproof flooring, which must be at the entrance.
With this arrangement, even the most slow-witted guests will understand where to leave their outdoor shoes so as not to add work to the hostess.
Finally, we will share one more important piece of advice: when choosing a material for zoning the vertical surfaces of the hallway, it is worth paying attention to darker shades with a smooth texture. This will not only create a stylish interior, but also make it easier to maintain cleanliness in the room. Even if it is plain wallpaper, it will be better if it belongs to the washable category.
