Most people have a false stereotype that the hallway in an apartment is almost a walk-through yard, and there is no need to pay special attention to it.
And this is a very serious misconception: the hallway is the “gate” to your apartment, and it is the first impression that your guests get from it.
Therefore, it is worth taking some time to figure out how to properly organize the space of the hallway.
An expert in the field of interior design and architecture , Yulia Tychino, will tell us about this issue.
In many ways, people are confused by the size of the hallway, because in modern multi-story buildings they are small and disproportionate.
Storage of things
If you do not provide special furniture for storing things in advance, the hallway will turn into a chaotic warehouse of clothes quite quickly.
And in general, things are mostly stored in closets; the hallway is only their first “refuge”.
So just provide a hanger, a small shoe rack and a shelf for small items.
Lighting
The hallway should be very well lit, so provide one lamp for every meter of the corridor length.
And one lamp should be located next to the mirror, this will help to avoid incidents with small stains on clothes that are impossible to see in the semi-darkness.
Mirror
In a small hallway it is really quite difficult to find a place to place a mirror, but there is a solution: hang a mirror on the entrance doors.
Perhaps, during installation, you will have to use shock-absorbing material so that the mirror is not damaged when the door is suddenly closed.
Hallway decoration
Even though it is the “face” of the apartment, you shouldn’t overload the hallway with interior items – it is a functional area, not a museum.
Use only the most necessary things, and you will amaze your guests with the beauty of your living rooms.
