It is not for nothing that the hallway is called the “face” of the home.
It creates the first impression of an apartment or house, as well as of the owners themselves.
There are a few design hacks that will make this space better.
Matte paint
The hallway is one of the "dirtiest" areas in the home. Therefore, it is important to find not only a good floor covering, but also to think about the wall decoration.
Matte paint has a number of advantages. It accurately conveys the full depth of color, does not glare. Such a surface is easier to maintain.
The space will appear visually larger if you use light shades.
Combination of mirror and hanging console
The smaller the hallway, the more acute the storage issue.
You need to leave space for clothes and useful little things, but at the same time you want to clutter up the space with cabinets and nightstands.
The solution is a hanging console, which is mounted together with a mirror.
The furniture looks “airy” and additional storage space appears.
Lighting
The hallway is a good place for bold experiments not only with light, but also with the light sources themselves.
The hallway often lacks natural light. This can be used to its full potential.
In this case, the lamps can perform not only their direct function, but also a decorative one.
For example, you can place three sconces on one wall, which will create an interesting accent.
Decorative wall panels
Wall panels allow you to play with contrasts. For example, light finish plus wood texture.
A more practical option can also be considered.
For example, if you need to disguise a structural element and decorate it in the color of the hallway itself.
Entrance door
If you have a door that doesn't quite fit into the space's palette, there is a way to avoid replacing it entirely.
You can simply replace the inner panel with the desired shade.
