In the portfolio of the Fundament Group of Companies you will find amazing ideas for the design of the hall in a private house and apartment. In this article we will present you design projects in different styles for the first and second floors: with an entrance hall, a corridor, a staircase.

Kinds

The most common option is a straight staircase structure with a landing between the flights. This option is not only the simplest, but also the most convenient. Between the flights of stairs there are intermediate platforms, and the flights are equipped with railings.

This staircase looks very beautiful, makes it possible to implement various design ideas, but at the same time requires a high ceiling height.

A compact solution for a small hall is a straight flight of stairs, devoid of intermediate landings and turns. The cost of such a staircase is much lower, but the climb is quite steep. For families with elderly people and children, this option is hardly suitable.

For very small and narrow halls, a spiral staircase will be a salvation. Beautifully fit into a small space, decorated with forging, it looks very presentable.

Unfortunately, such a descent cannot be called absolutely safe. It is not always possible to equip a structure with railings. For disabled and elderly people, such a descent and ascent along a small flight of stairs can turn into a difficult ordeal.

Specifics of interior design

There are often a lot of people in the hall: this is a place where you can watch your favorite movie with your family in a comfortable environment or just have a get-together with friends. It’s so nice when a pleasant atmosphere is created in the living room, conducive to communication. In the hall, the discussion is usually lively, so all important issues can be resolved.

Beautiful apartment design involves creating an attractive interior. It is necessary that the premises differ not only in aesthetics, but also in functionality

When carrying out renovation work in the hall, the specific features of this room should be taken into account

The shape of the living room is basically rectangular. In a small apartment, the living room area is relatively small. By dividing into zones you can give the room versatility. All household members and those who come to visit you will feel comfortable.

Types of fencing

The main purpose of a fence is safety. At the same time, we must not forget about the aesthetic component. The material for the fencing is chosen in such a way that it combines beautifully and practically with the materials from which the spans and steps are made.

It is welcome if the motifs used in the manufacture of fences duplicate the geometric shapes of the hallway.

For example, for a high-tech or minimalist design with strict line geometry, you need to support the staircase opening using linear elements. On the contrary, smoothly curved railings are in harmony with the arched structures and curved lines of the hall.

One of the trends in today's fashion in architecture is glass structures. Such railings are in perfect harmony with the frameless glass door structure. Glass in an elegant metal frame adds luxury and sophistication to the interior.

Glass is certainly beautiful, but it is not always usable. If there are small children in the family, this can be dangerous. It is better to refrain from such a project.

Style solutions

Vanguard. One of the most difficult to perform. It is characterized by bright colors, the use of several types of materials, while the room should remain spacious and things should be functional.
Shabby chic. A modern take on Provence. Photographs and romantic decorative items are complemented by lush curtains and beautiful furniture in pastel colors, as well as soft textiles.
Art Deco. Clarity and smooth lines, expensive materials, antiques and an abundance of “precious” colors - all this is combined into a single luxurious concept, complemented by art.
Africa. Fashion trend of recent years. The interior of the hall in a private house contains wood and wicker furniture, brown and yellow tones predominate. It is necessary to use figures of wild animals from various materials and rough work decor.
Loft. Industrial, technical style, which uses bare brick, concrete, brown, gray, red tones. As decor - bright paintings or modern art objects made of metal, glass or plastic.

For a calm, comfortable and cozy country house design, preference should be given to Provence, country, Mediterranean and Scandinavian styles. If space allows, it is appropriate to decorate the hall in the Gothic, Empire, Art Nouveau and Baroque styles.

Location

The design of a particular structure depends on the location of the staircase in the hall.

Central placement places increased demands on design. Here the staircase is the main accent of the hall, and the most presentable finishing materials are chosen: natural marble, columns and wrought iron railings will add palace splendor to the entire entrance area.
The parquet on the floor of the hall is supported by the same parquet on the steps, and the railings and balusters are made of the same type of wood as the doors, which are located on both sides of the stairs. A staircase without turning flights, located in the central part of the hall, is made of accent materials;

The lateral location gives the staircase a secondary role in the interior. The main thing here is the organization of the space of the hall itself. The decoration of the staircase supports the basic concept of the hall style solution. For lateral placement, both traditional straight-line designs with or without turning platforms, and screw ones are suitable. Regardless of the location, great attention is paid to the materials used to make the stairs.

Features and Requirements

The main purpose of a staircase between the floors of an apartment, house or cottage is to connect multi-level rooms. In addition, the staircase serves as a unique architectural accent for the hall. In this regard, it must certainly meet such requirements.

Comfort and safety for the descent and ascent of people. Additional lighting and railings will not hurt. This is especially true for families with children and elderly people.

Dimensions of the flight of stairs. They should be sufficient to allow furniture to be moved from one floor to another if necessary. Otherwise, if this is not possible, an elevator or special rigging is used to lower and lift large pieces of furniture.
It is advisable to provide storage space under the stairs.
Design and style. It depends on the location of the staircase in the hall and on the overall design solution.

Materials

The modern construction industry produces a huge variety of finishing materials that satisfy the most intricate requests: from classic marble to colored impact-resistant glass for decorating a flight of stairs. Let's take a closer look at these options:

Natural stone is the oldest material used in construction. The spans of concrete structures on metal reinforcement are decorated with marble or granite tiles with an anti-slip effect. Skillfully carved figured railings and balusters are made from solid this stone or have forged elements. This decoration will add solemnity and create a feeling of luxury. Especially if these stones are used in the decoration of the walls and floor of the hall; This is an expensive finish and will only look appropriate in large areas.

Instead of natural stone, it is advisable to use artificial stone. Its wear resistance is several orders of magnitude higher, and its appearance is indistinguishable from natural. This material has a huge variety of textures and a wide range of colors;

The most popular are stairs made of natural wood. Wood has the necessary strength and has a centuries-old history of use in construction. Conifers are most often used, as they are durable and create a feeling of warmth and comfort. The wealth of the owners will be emphasized by structures made of more valuable species - mahogany or oak, which, when processed, give a beautiful fiber structure and have a richness of color and texture.

As a rule, railings are also made of wood, and in the case of oak, railings can be made of metal or glass;

Along with solid wood, wood-shaving and wood-fiber materials . They are finished with natural wood veneer, which significantly reduces the cost of such stairs, but they have less wear resistance;

A plastic material for stairs in terms of design is metal . A metal staircase can be given any most intricate shape. Color solutions have no restrictions. The strength of the structure is the highest. Metal goes well with any material used in the interior decoration of the hall: glass, stone, brickwork and simple plaster.

A laconic metal staircase will fit in the smallest room and can become the central element of the hall exposition, being decorated with elegant railings;

An innovative approach was the use of laminated glass for steps and railings . This gives lightness and weightlessness to a fairly durable structure, but not everyone likes to walk on transparent steps. Much more often, glass fences are installed.

Luxurious finishing: walls, floor, ceiling

Walls

The design of the hall in a house with a luxurious external facade should also cause delight. If there is an entrance in this place, and the room itself serves as a hallway, then the walls should be decorated with wear-resistant materials that are not afraid of frequent washing. This group includes decorative plasters, varnished wooden panels, artistic frescoes with a protective coating, facing stone, etc. If the hall is not located on the first floor, then other (more capricious) coatings can be used as wall cladding. But it’s still better to opt for something practical, since such space is still used quite often (when it is not an auxiliary room for receiving guests like a hall, but, say, a stairwell on the second floor). Walls in large areas have the right to be of any shade; in small ones it is better to choose cool, light colors to expand the space.

Floor

The floor in the hall is usually covered with some chic tiles made of natural stone (marble or granite) of almost the same color or with natural veining. They often use tiles from Italian brands with some classic ornament or complex pattern. A mosaic looks impressive, looking like a whole work of art, or small parquet laid in an unusual way. Sometimes several different materials or the same ones are used at the same time, but in non-identical sizes or color nuances. Combined floor coverings can easily zone a space if it is very large or the design project requires it.

Ceiling

The upper part of the hall (that is, the ceiling), as a rule, is made in a plain white version without an excessive amount of decorative paraphernalia, when the room has not too high ceilings. In the opposite case, it’s just the opposite: designers use a lot of different finishing elements, such as gypsum stucco molding, textured fillets, moldings with several levels, artistic paintings, stained glass elements, exquisite bas-reliefs, projections and pilasters, wooden beams, etc.

Features of the hall with stairs

The finishing decoration should be harmoniously combined with the staircase in the hallway. After all, the first thing a guest or the owner sees when entering a room is? this is a corridor or hall. The staircase design can be of two types: it occupies the main space of the room, and a compact version without accent elements.

Design tips:

In a small hallway, it is wise to use the space under the stairs: niches, drawers, shelves.
Think through everything down to the smallest detail: where the doors will be located, is there enough space to open them completely. On the second floor, the doors can be replaced with an arch.
The hallway space can be expanded with the help of a large mirror and light shades of the walls and ceiling.
The finishing decoration of the walls should be perfectly combined with the color scheme of the staircase; it is better to choose one shade for decoration.
We choose the flooring to match the staircase or organize the base of the structure into a specific area. It all depends on imagination and wishes. The following materials are suitable for the floor: tiles, porcelain stoneware, carpet, parquet, linoleum.
Choosing the right lighting. For large structures, chandeliers of the same size are suitable. For small spaces? calm lamps, without unnecessary decorations and pathos.
In the classic design of an Italian-style room, fur carpets covering the steps will look appropriate. This little trick can add 100% comfort.

Repair and interior decoration

In the design of a spacious hall, you can successfully use rich, catchy colors and large decorative items. A small area will require more artistic ingenuity, but interesting solutions will also be found

To begin with, it is important that all the doors that lead to the halls be done in the same way for the sake of harmony.

A bouquet of flowers on the table in the hall and a composition of forest trees add coziness. Vases can be placed on a table or chest of drawers. They will look relaxed and lively. It is better to avoid pomposity in these “additives” and give them ease.

The entrance room should be flooded with light so that guests do not grope for a pen or keys at dusk. Lamps are recommended to be decorative, elegant, even deliberately pompous, since there are no other decorations in the hall. Lamps with lampshades will look unique.

You can enhance the impression of light by installing table lights. The illuminated stained glass windows of the front door give a magnificent effect.

Walls

The classic of the genre in the hall is the so-called dado. About a third of the floor from the floor, the wall is covered with a powerful, wear-resistant material - several tones darker than the rest of the palette. Wallpaper with large patterns for walls, including stripes, is a classic of the genre.

It is customary to lay the border closer to the ceiling. This “lowers” the ceiling a little, imitates an ancient vault and adds intimacy to the space. Lovers of extravagance can be referred to stucco and wood decorations. All this fits quite naturally into the image of the walls of the large hall.

In the antique style, the walls are complemented with consoles, niches, and cornices.

Floor

An excellent option for a field in the hall is large marble tiles. She carries with her an impression of solidity. Ceramic tiles, similar to natural stone, have gained popularity among designers.

If you choose this one, make sure that the floor does not turn into a skating rink - ceramic tiles can be very slippery. Well, you should avoid excess shine. It “cheapens” the overall picture.

Artistic and creative people order tile mosaics. This solution is simply “doomed” to success; the mosaic makes the entire entrance room sparkle with wonderful colors.

The advantage of laminate is the fact that it is wear-resistant. In addition, it gives a lot of scope to the designer’s imagination, since it imitates a variety of materials.

Wealthy owners of houses with hallways, emphasizing luxury, have the opportunity to lay the floor with natural parquet.

Well, it would be illogical not to say a few words about such a rich floor decoration as natural stone. Granite and marble are, of course, a special chic, indescribable beauty. A stone floor, naturally, will cost tens of times more than all other options.

Modest owners agree to linoleum as the most budget-friendly finishing method. It is better to purchase this material with a graphic, geometric pattern.

The carpet is also good and soft in appearance, adding coziness. You just have to think about how to cover areas subject to increased mechanical stress with a thicker structure (mats).

In general, the main array of flooring begins about a meter from the door. And in front of it is the vestibule area, where visitors should be able to wipe their feet and shake themselves off slightly after going outside. Coarse cloth mats are also laid in the vestibule.

Ceiling

The design of the ceilings is well emphasized by multi-level plasterboard structures. But this is not a panacea. A custom flat surface looks excellent and environmentally attractive. For decoration, you can diversify it with stucco and provide stained glass windows.

A number of designers prefer wooden beams specially mounted under the ceiling. They “read” especially organically if the entire hall is lined with wood.

Lighting

Proper lighting of the hall staircase is one of the most important requirements. By definition, the hall should be brighter lit. This allows you to make its space the main one in the interior. Spotlights are built into the ceiling above the staircase structure along the entire length of the span. Wall lighting fixtures located along the flight of stairs also look beautiful.

It is desirable that the lampshades of the sconces be designed in the same style as the central chandelier of the hall.

Illumination of steps with LED bulbs and strips creates a magical, fairy-tale atmosphere in the house. In particular, such lighting is suitable for glass steps. If there is a window on the turntable, it provides natural light and makes the space visually wider.

In this case, a beautiful house plant in a pot of a suitable style is appropriate on the site.

Extraordinary design of the hallway in the apartment

In apartments, the front door usually has modest dimensions. The small size makes its own adjustments to the interior design process. In such a space you need to use as many mirror and glass surfaces as possible. Mirrors can be hung on the walls, decorating them with stylish frames.

It is necessary to correctly calculate the location of the furniture in advance.

If you take on the role of a designer, then keep in mind that the hall will have to match the style of the rest of the house.

Glass elements may be present in furniture decoration. A plaster statue can bring originality to the interior of the hall. It perfectly emphasizes the luxurious Art Nouveau style. You can also decorate this room with fresh flowers, unusual souvenirs, cups, family photographs, posters.

The decor should be welcoming and relaxed.

Those who enter your lobby should want to move on in a good mood.

Space under the stairs

The traditional staircase design occupies a fairly large space, and niches appear under the flights, which can be successfully used in the design of the room.

In halls with a classic renovation, the niches are finished with the same materials as the walls of the entire corridor. An arch is arranged in a low space and a couch and a table with a sconce or floor lamp are placed. The central partition in such a niche can be decorated with photo wallpaper and a chest of drawers can be placed. For better illumination of the space, in addition to lighting, pasting with bright wallpaper to match or contrasting canvases is used;

In European style, the space under the stairs is used as an additional bedroom for temporary accommodation;

A small cottage requires a lot of storage space. A system of cabinets and drawers for household items is built under the flight of stairs. Sometimes such additions are installed under each step.

Decorating a corridor in a house - 5 main components

When creating the design of a hall with a staircase, you need to pay attention to five main tasks - finishing the floor, ceiling, walls, selecting furniture, organizing lighting, choosing decor. Ceramic tiles are the most common flooring option due to their affordable cost and good wear resistance.

Laminate flooring has an affordable price and a variety of textures and colors.

Useful recommendations for each item are discussed in the table:

Five components of the interior Tips for choosing materials, stylish ideas Flooring Reliable flooring is very important for the passage area. You should choose practical, wear-resistant materials

Perfect for: ceramic tiles, laminate, natural stone, parquet. Walls, ceiling Walls should be light. They will create comfort and a calm atmosphere. Cool shades will help increase volume. Almost any material can be used for walls. Thick wallpaper and high-quality decorative plaster are suitable. The ceiling can be decorated with multi-level plasterboard structures and stucco. Furniture There should be little of it. A modern wardrobe, small cabinets for shoes, and hangers can decorate the interior of a hall with a staircase. Lighting The main source of light should be the ceiling. If it has plasterboard niches, lamps must be placed in them. A large, luxurious chandelier does not fit in a classic design. Decor Photos, paintings, mirrors, watches - all these decorations will help to uniquely design. The most important thing is to know the limit. A lot of small objects and decorations will make the room uncomfortable and repulsive.

For wall decoration, you can choose wallpaper, panels, plaster or stone. It all depends on your taste and wallet.

The design of the ceiling depends on the chosen style direction

Styles

To create an aesthetic composition of the entrance area with a staircase, you need to select structural and finishing elements of the same architectural style. For example:

Owners of huge halls can afford luxurious flights of stairs made of marble or granite in a classic style.

The walls of the hall and the inter-span area are decorated with the same columns, and the fence supports the same stucco pattern. Opposite the entrance on the first landing there is a huge mirror in a matching frame, a valuable painting or a window beautifully draped with fabric. Restraint and sophistication of the classics with a staircase made of wood or metal will emphasize the nobility of the interior;

The modern dimensions of the halls perfectly match the decor in the style of minimalism. Metal, high-strength plastic or glass create functional structures and do not clutter up the space. An art deco staircase will require expensive, high-quality materials. Illuminated glass and the golden color of metal stairs are emphasized by laconic metal lamps;

Chrome staircase railings, plastic or glass steps, chrome trim on the front door, metallic fabrics for decoration - these are all signs of high-tech style;
Concrete and reinforcement will organically fit into the interior of industrial design;
The spiral staircase with its curved lines is created for the Art Nouveau style. The window frames of the hall, door frames and railings are made of the same type of metal with the same ornament.

Design options

These types of foyer ensembles with stairs look beautiful.

The lobby is in a classic style with a marble staircase.
Art Deco style: snow-white interior and glass and metal staircase.
The interior is “modern” with smooth lines and a functional niche under the stairs.
The laconic staircase design of an accent color fits into the canons of minimalism.
A wooden staircase to the second floor and attic in combination with the decoration of the hallway of a country house with clapboard - rustic country style.
The hall of a private house, decorated with stone, and the wrought metal staircase form a charming Mediterranean ensemble.

Types of stairs

In a hallway with a staircase, it is the staircase that is the main piece of furniture and often has to be taken into account when choosing a stylistic direction. It performs not only a functional, but also a decorative task, so it’s worth understanding the types of staircases:

Screw

This option is the most popular due to its compactness (occupied area is about 1.5 sq.m.). The spiral staircase looks attractive, is attached in a variety of ways and can be combined with any modern or classic style.

The design has one drawback: it is not very convenient to move and lift furniture on it, and it is difficult to select the railings.

Straight

The marching design is the simplest option. The number of marches varies depending on the height of the house. The straight ladder is easy to climb and easy to install. Fits well into Scandinavian, classic, eco-style and country.

The only drawback is the large footprint, but the space under the stairs can be most useful if properly organized.

Monolithic on a stringer

The peculiarity of such a staircase is that there is only one load-bearing beam (stringer), due to which the structure can have a variety of shapes (from straight to zigzag). This option will fit into any style and will make it possible to use various materials to finish the surface of the steps.

The disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of space on the floors that it connects.

On the Bolts

This option is the most expensive, since the steps are made only of metal and are attached directly to the wall surface. However, such a staircase does not clutter the room and can be easily repaired and dismantled. A staircase with rails will fit perfectly into an interior in a high-tech or minimalist style.

Hanging

The design is similar to a ladder on rails, but in this case the steps are not connected to each other, but are fixed on special hanging rods on one side and rails on the other. Suitable for loft, hi-tech and minimalist styles.

At the same time, the surrounding space should be as organic as possible, since it will be visible from all sides.

A hall with a staircase looks unusual and fascinating, provided that the design and style of the structure itself and the surrounding space are chosen correctly.

Design of a hall with a staircase in a classic style

Preference is given to natural materials: durable solid wood (valuable species), laconic marble, exclusive granite. The shape is often chosen straight, with a 90° turn;

Color: calm shades, most often white and black. If the staircase is made of wood, it is oak, grenadile, amaranth, bocotta, mahogany.

Decorative elements: forged railings (artistic forging), skillful wood carving (manifested in the form of curlicues and complex ornaments). The base of the staircase can be decorated with the silhouette of a lion or eagle.

The following will look harmonious with the staircase design: Byzantine frescoes, ancient paintings, mirrors in forged frames. They can be hung on the wall along which the steps are located.

Porcelain or bronze statues look good near the stairs, at the very beginning. They are the personification of the ethnicity of the 16th and 17th centuries - the very origins of the origin of this style. These include: the goddess Aphrodite, Venus de Milo, Saint Gregory, the biblical hero David, and the pensive Auguste Rodin.

A staircase in a classic style is perfect in itself. The presence of a sculpture nearby will only emphasize the subtle taste of the owner of the room and will not leave anyone indifferent.

Don’t forget about lighting: classic design loves large spaces with a lot of natural light. If the room is small and there are no windows at all, be sure to add several lamps: wall sconces with imitation candles, lampshade floor lamps at the end and beginning of the flight of stairs, ceiling crystal chandeliers.

Hallway interior with staircase in Art Nouveau style

One of the most popular styles of the 21st century is modern. It includes a balanced combination of luxurious interior elements at a low cost. Everyone can afford modernity; you just need to make an effort and develop a 3D version of the renovation work in the room.

Compared to the classics, modern saves the budget thanks to the use of other materials for the manufacture of stairs. Let's consider the basic rules of this style:

The staircase can be made of plastic, metal, concrete, glass, nickel or chrome. Also, this style does not exclude wood covering. You can make steps from wood and add railings from another material to them - this will be a little more economical. Wood in this case is inexpensive species (cherry, maple, larch).

Weightless stairs will suit the modern style. The design includes “floating” steps, attached without visible power elements to the wall or on rails.

This style does not like grandeur, so there is a minimum of decor. For a highlight, just add lighting to the staircase. The lamps are placed on several steps, along the edge of each of them (you can use neon lighting). If this option is not suitable, hang a couple of modern sconces (wrought iron frame and a simple lamp) next to the stairs.

Color range: white, gray and all shades of metal. Think about what kind of wallpaper will be on the wall; it is better to choose neutral ones, with a calm pattern or without it at all.

Staircase shape: curved, wavy, straight.

The main thing in this style is to maintain a balance of sophistication and simplicity. For finishing work in the room, choose laconic lines and geometric patterns. Bulky paintings and wall hangings will definitely be superfluous.

Hall with staircase in high-tech style

Fans of science fiction and fantasy will definitely like the high-tech. This style borders on modernity, but it is brighter and riskier in its content. Distinctive features are the boldness and contrast of the relationships of modern designs. A high-tech staircase is no exception; let’s consider the basic requirements for it:

Materials: high-strength glass, metal, plastic, chrome, nickel. Most often, the staircase is made from a combination of several materials.

Color range: rich gray, silver, metallic, white.

Shape is the design of complex geometric structures: curved and wavy or rounded into several curls. High-tech also provides non-standard, trapezoidal steps “floating” in the air.

Everything is done so that the owner feels like the hero of a science fiction film.

Decorating the walls in this case is only an addition, but the emphasis is on the design of the staircase itself. When choosing wallpaper, it's good to stick to simple horizontal or vertical lines.

It is better to choose wall lighting. The design of a hallway with a high-tech staircase is always a subtraction of space and a wide scope of design. In such a room, its functional qualities are relegated to second place.

What are the distinctive features of this style? reliability, modernity, uniqueness and aesthetics. When choosing paintings and other small decor, it is recommended to focus on pop art themes. When choosing an abstraction, monitor the filling of the room so that there is no overload of free space.

One high-tech staircase is already the center of everyone's attention.

Design of a hallway with a staircase in Italian style

Strictness, naturalness, luxury and conciseness are popular combinations of Italian style. If you decide to create a staircase in Italian style, natural materials will come to the rescue. Italy is a country of contrasts, but still, when decorating a room, citizens of this country give preference to the functionality and comfort of the room.

A few rules for designing a hallway with an Italian-style staircase:

Material: natural solid wood, valuable species. Metal structures with thin forged railings are used less frequently.

Color range: sugar, walnut, oak, cappuccino, mahogany, brandy, brown, merbau, walnut, wenge.

Shape: the staircase is massive, takes up a lot of space, can be of any shape, but must have a giant scale.

Decor elements: coziness and comfort in a “rich” way. Venetian frescoes and mosaics on the wall, paintings in the Provence or Baroque style, ancient sculptures and figurines located at the base of the stairs or in the spaces between the stairs will look good with a bulky staircase.

Lighting: Large oval or round windows are desirable. Italy? a sunny country, this is precisely what determines the light factor. If there is not as much natural light as you would like, it would be appropriate to hang chandeliers in the classical style (crystal, lampshade) or sconces in the Art Nouveau style (minimum elements, maximum light).

The atmosphere of an Italian house will be given by high ceilings, arches and the smell of natural wood. An Italian staircase is a highlight for any room. If the size of the room allows you to install a structure of this style, be sure to take advantage of it. An Italian staircase will delight the eye for decades due to the high strength and durability of the materials.

It should also be noted that wood is an environmentally friendly material, it is not at all toxic and safe. If there are small children in the house, there is no better choice of stairs.

Useful tips

Design options for a square hallway. square hallway: design ideas and tips for choosing materials for decoration

The layout of the hall may vary. An elongated narrow room can be easily visually divided into two functional zones (entrance hall and hall) using decoration, furniture placement, and partitions. In a wide hall, you can also apply zoning, designating individual functional areas using thoughtful lighting, combining materials and finishing shades, and arranging furniture. When designing a spacious room, you can safely use rich colors and large objects for decoration. In any case, the room should not be cluttered. In general, when designing a hall, you must adhere to the following rule - in order to get a harmonious overall picture, all the doors that open into it will need to be made the same. When selecting materials for decorating the interior of the hall, you should give preference to high-quality and wear-resistant products that are reliable in operation.

In private houses or spacious modern apartments, staircase structures that lead upstairs can be installed in various rooms. As a rule, a staircase has a tangible impact on the environment, combining various structural elements of the room - floor, doors, etc. - into a single complex. If there is a hall in a house with a staircase, the task arises of organizing a small comfortable seating area on the site next to the flight of stairs

When decorating the hall on the second floor, you should take into account the style of the room below, with which the staircase connects this room

If you have a small hall, decorating it beautifully and functionally is also quite possible. In general, the golden rule applies to small rooms - the less various accessories and decorative items are concentrated in it, the more spacious the surrounding space seems. Thus, it’s definitely not worth overloading the hall with objects that tend to accumulate in front of living spaces. For each interior detail, you should first consider the functional load.

It is worth considering the following useful recommendations for designing a small hall:

place in it only necessary pieces of furniture that you cannot do without;
when arranging the interior of the corridor, you should abandon mezzanines that occupy scarce space, as well as volumetric wall cladding, replacing it with vinyl wallpaper or painting;
You can optically expand a small hall by providing niches for placing cabinets, as well as installing a false window in this room;
in a small room they look good, visually expanding the space, openings to the next room, glass and stained glass, mirror surfaces, as well as glossy (including a suspended ceiling in the hall), general floor covering connecting the hall with the next room;
bulky furniture can be replaced with wall hangers, compact bedside tables, light racks and shelves, and stands for small items.
