9 Ways to Make Your Hallway Look Bigger: This Trick Will Make It Look Twice as Big

Do you walk into your hallway and feel the walls closing in? Time for some magic.

The first step is to kill all the angles. Replace the square cabinet with an oval one - this will soften the geometry.

The second secret is the play of light and shadow. Install lighting under the shelves: warm light falling from top to bottom will “dissolve” the boundaries.

The third trick is a mirror ceiling. Yes, it is possible! Stick a mirror film on the ceiling - the height of the room will "rise" to the sky.

Vladimir resident Katya used this technique in her five-meter hallway.

Guests swear that the ceilings here are at least three meters high.

The fourth trick is invisible doors. Paint the door the same color as the walls - it will blend into the background, and the space will become integral.

The fifth life hack is a vertical pattern. Wallpaper with thin stripes or a fresco depicting columns will add airiness.

The sixth technique is furniture on legs. A cabinet with a gap between the bottom and the floor creates the illusion of lightness.

That's not all: consider making the hallway monochrome. Paint the walls, floor and ceiling in one color, but in different saturations - this will "blur" the boundaries.

The eighth tip is glass shelves. They don’t overload the space, and the vases and books on them seem to float.

Finally, the final touch is the scent. Spray a citrus spray in the hallway – the fresh scent is subconsciously associated with space.
