Sometimes a long narrow corridor can become a real problem.
But there are several techniques that will help visually expand the space and make it more harmonious.
Yulia Tychino, an expert on interior design and interior design, spoke about this in more detail.
Hidden doors
The passage will appear visually wider if you make hidden doors.
For example, they can be painted in the same tone as the walls. In addition, you can also refuse the trim.
Moreover, when decorating a corridor, it is advisable to give preference to light finishes.
Correct placement of decor
Using posters and paintings is a good solution for a narrow hallway.
If you place the accents correctly, you can shift the focus of attention from the size of the room.
It is advisable to choose calm subjects and not too flashy frames. Also, the images should be placed at an equal distance.
In addition, an interesting solution would be to place the decor in a checkerboard pattern.
Only decor should be used in moderation and small elements should be avoided. Otherwise, they will become a kind of visual noise.
Use of glossy surfaces
Gloss helps to add volume to a room and make it visually larger.
Therefore, in a narrow corridor you can make a glossy ceiling or choose a shiny floor covering.
The effect will be much stronger if you provide sufficient lighting here. You can also place a large mirror in the hallway.
