Corridor in the apartment: interior design and features of the combination of styles (95 photos). Corridor design in the apartment color scheme, choice of wall and floor coverings Entrance hall with stairs

We already know that the entrance area is a very important part of the house. And you can talk about it almost endlessly. I have already prepared articles about large front entrance areas with stairs. It is also very important topic for discussion, since many of us may live in private homes with stairs, but more on that later.

And today we will continue talking about the minimum required corridors in the house.

We have already talked about small hallways, we also know almost everything about X ...

But that's not all, the so-called "service spaces" in our house.
After all, there can be much more corridors than one!
How do you ask?
Very simple! There are corridors that are link between rooms inside our houses.

Our flat

So in my apartment there is: an entrance hall (entrance area) and a small corridor (1 sq m) connecting the bedroom, living room and bathroom.

We will talk about such “connecting” spaces.

Sometimes, no matter how much you want to .. but there is no other way to get space ... draw do not draw plans ... but you still need to make a corridor. And there is no way to remove it, except perhaps ... to reduce ... a little bit in favor of some room ...

And before rushing into the abyss of redevelopment, let's remember MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR CORRIDORS so that a person can easily pass there, so that the doors open and close calmly, and even two people can disperse ...

The minimum norms are well painted by Neufert. I talked about his book for a very long time -. Repetition, as they say, is the key to success!
So, how much space do we need when we stand alone in different positions, when a friend is next to us, or when we put on a jacket on ourselves ... I think my drawing will help you remember this, or just print it out for yourself. All dimensions in the figure are given in millimeters.

by Oksana Panteleeva

But for comfortable movement towards each other, you still need a little more space. For Neufert it is 1150 mm.

For myself, I nevertheless deduced the width for long corridors in 110-120 cm… from personal professional experience. But Mr. Neufert also reminds us that the minimum width of the corridors depends on where the door opens!

by Oksana Panteleeva

If the doors open into the rooms, the minimum width of the corridor can be 90 cm. But if the doors open into the corridor, then its minimum width will already be 140 cm or 90 + 50 cm for a comfortable passage of a person who, while you open the door, can pass past her...

Remember this! If your doors in the corridor are opposite each other - then try to make them open inside the rooms - you will avoid the risk of simply colliding with doors.

After we already know everything about the minimum width, now let's talk about the minimum area of ​​​​connecting corridors also according to Neufert.

Here is such a square space of just 1 meter can serve you faithfully. It will connect up to 4 rooms and will not take up much space in the house. I have just such a corridor, though it connects three spaces.

Pay attention to where the doors open! It will be funny if all 4 doors suddenly open inside this 1 square meter. If you are planning repairs yourself, without a pro, then try not to forget this moment. it is especially important when planning to use invisible doors for painting. since the opening of the door “in or out” is very important there, this affects both the cost of the doors and the skirting board that can be fixed to it (full impression of the wall).

If the corridor must connect 5 or 6 rooms, then its area increases in proportion to the increase in the number of doors. Five doors will require a minimum of 2 square meters ...

For 6 doors, it is already necessary to allocate a minimum of 3 square meters.

Today we talked about the norms when planning small spaces such as corridors, an important topic that is sometimes overlooked.

Good luck with the repair!

With the traditional approach, the entrance hall and the corridor, due to their auxiliary purpose, play a secondary role in the interior of the apartment, disguised as a general concept for decorating living rooms. Meanwhile, ignoring this part of the house sometimes leads to uncomfortable and not functional solutions. At best, these parts of the room are facelessly lost and hidden, at worst they introduce dissonance and spoil the overall impression.

The unique role of the entrance hall and the corridors emerging from it is that, on the one hand, these are the most public parts of the house, on the other hand, they serve as a kind of boudoir for residents who change shoes and clothes when entering and exiting.

These small platforms are a kind of bridges not only between various premises, but also styles, so their decoration, lighting and decor must be selected with great care.

Design Features

When choosing materials and colors for floors, walls and ceilings, two approaches can be applied. In the first, the design of the hallway and corridor completely coincides with the interior of the room into which they lead, in the second they are made out separately, in a harmonious combination. It is clear that transitional options are also possible, in which the differences can consist in one or two independent elements.

The choice of material for flooring is one of the most important tasks. Linoleum, tiles or heated wood, the use of carpets and rugs are determined by the layout and functions of the corridor.

Most often, this is the most trampled part of the apartment, and it is more expedient to focus on durable and washable materials for cladding.

When combined with the floors of other rooms in color and texture, you can apply:

• different shades of the same color
• the same color with a transition to two or more color combinations,
• sharp color contrast.

The use of carpet paths and rugs for hallways can bring a pleasant zest, creating coziness and geometrically expanding the space.

The photo of the various segments of the apartments shows the design of the floors of the corridor in all of the listed options.

Another feature of the design solution is the construction various kinds rectangular and rounded arched structures.

Ceiling decoration is most often done in a single concept for the entire room, but here you can also take advantage of special opportunities for experimenting with mirror or reflective ceiling surfaces. Such extravagant decor will not get on your nerves, since people do not stay in these rooms for a long time.

Lighting can be made built into the ceiling and walls, or you can choose lamps and fixtures. ceiling chandeliers are used very rarely.

Visual Expansion Techniques

The problem of cramped hallways and narrow corridors is relevant in our time, not only for the owners of Khrushchev. When planning any apartment and house, small utility spaces may arise, with proper design of which overall comfort will be ensured and functionality will be increased.

Small corridors and hallways are great places to apply visual expansion effects. The first thing that comes to mind is the use of mirrors. It is justified, but you need to be careful with ceiling mirrors: they can narrow the space.

In other cases, mirrored or reflective surfaces will be a stylish and useful addition to small spaces.

In narrow corridors and hallways, regardless of the overall design of the apartment, dark tones and patterns in the decoration of walls, floors and ceilings, bulky furniture and lamps should be avoided. In this case, you need to take care of the light, using built-in options or flat shades.

Spaces can be optically enlarged through the skillful use of directional light in combination with mirrors. In small and square segments, evenly diffused light can be used due to several spotlights.

Light blue, olive and beige tones will be a universal solution for wall painting. In low rooms, the ceilings should be a tone lighter; in the corridor, you can use wallpaper with vertical stripes.

To expand the space, one of the walls can be pasted over with photo wallpaper. Wallpaper with imitations of stone, brick and other textures will create the effect of a mysterious labyrinth.

The floor should be at least a tone darker. Sharp contrasts can also be applied using dark-colored tiles. Diagonal masonry or contrasting floor segmentation can also create the desired expansion effect.

Hallway zoning is another design technique in which wallpaper with textured imitations can be used. When applying this method, a separate entrance, near-door space is formed, which is contrasting, sometimes in all respects (floor, ceiling, walls), differs from the passage. The latter, as a rule, merges with the design of the room with which the corridor is associated.

Inner side front door and the design of other doors overlooking the corridor, with a shortage of space, they acquire especially importance. They should either be disguised as walls, which will find their ideal embodiment in a minimalist style, or be a contrasting spot.

Abstract design lovers can pick up catchy geometric patterns or photographs for doors that change the configuration of space.

Furnishings and decor

Well-chosen furniture and decorative details complement the decoration of the room. They can also without overhaul apartments unrecognizably change the corridor and hallway.

If there is enough space, they can be arranged, like any living space, taking into account the taste and needs of the residents, equipping them with wardrobes for shoes and clothes, upholstered furniture And coffee tables, decorative items, plants, aquarium, etc.

Vintage or other mirrors with bulky frames will also require a certain area.

The presence of furniture in small spaces should be limited to open shelves and corner or built-in wardrobes. Closets with open shelves require a certain amount of space, in small spaces they look overly cluttered, giving the impression of tightness and disorder.

Narrow wardrobes can be an alternative various sizes. Single and narrow open shelves along the entire wall are also a good solution, if they do not interfere with movement.

The use of oval mirrors without frames, mirror doors on cabinets, as well as decorating walls and open shelves with solid mirrors will visually expand the space. Decorative shelves and vases add coziness by softening unused corners and narrow niches.

Photo of the corridor in the apartment

Often people pay more attention to the repair of residential premises : bedroom, nursery, living room, kitchen, bathroom room, forgetting that the corridor is the first room , which you get when you enter the house.

There are many ways make a corridor more comfortable, functional, combined with the overall concept decoration of the apartment.

First of all, you need to decide on the color scheme. Color forms the first impression of the home. Corridor should not "get out" of the general interior Houses. It is not recommended to use too dark colors for walls and floors , as it visually reduces space.

The wrong approach to design in this part of the apartment can nullify efforts to create a coherent interior and spoil the first impression.

It is better to use the following shades:

• sand;
• Beige;
• Light brown;
• Grey.

White color will help to increase the space of a small hallway.

Whatever modern ideas The design of the entrance hall was not at the heart of the project; in the pursuit of beauty, one should not forget the main thing - the purpose of this part of the housing.

The colors above not conspicuous under artificial lighting corridor , which gives a great opportunity to use various decor items. If desired make room more vivid is to consider blue and green tones. They allow you to come up with a large number of interesting combinations. And bright can be make only one wall.

By the way, according to Feng Shui, it is along the corridor that Qi energy flows from the entrance throughout the house.

Designers do not advise decorating like this wall opposite the front door, so space (especially small ) shrinks noticeably.

Natural stone

The floor of the corridor must be durable and resistant to abrasion.

Such a color scheme will visually expand narrow space . But here in the care of beige or similar color very complicated. Therefore, one can consider corridor dividing option into two zones. In this case, you can combine tiles and, for example, linoleum.

Linoleum is an economical alternative to ceramic tiles. Manufacturers offer this species coatings with a variety of patterns, most often imitating tiles or wood.

The color of the floor in the hallway visually changes its size.

If you want to corridor looked solid, then you can choose natural stone . It looks especially impressive if walls there are sections of masonry.

The corridor in this case will look very expensive.

You just need to follow the rules for creating interiors in a small corridor. It is important to choose the right furniture.

You should not clutter up the interior of a small hallway with massive wardrobes that will block almost half of the space. On the contrary, if there is one, then it should be removed, and a shallow (45 cm) wardrobe should be bought, better built-in, with a large mirror on the door, which will visually expand the space. You can also place mezzanines along the ceiling.

Light sources should be arranged under the mezzanines, as well as in other suitable places:

Finishing work must be carried out using light building materials and decor. The bright corridor will visually be filled with the missing width.

It is only necessary to take into account that this room is one of the quickly dirty ones, on the basis of which, the walls and floor decoration must be made with resistant materials.

They must be resistant to:

• moisture;
• dust;
• Mud.

You also need to buy a supply of material in case of repair, replacement. For the floor, you can pick up a dark material, but you should not do this with the ceiling surface. The whiter the ceiling, the better.

You also need to remember that the floor, walls and ceiling should not differ significantly in tone, their design should be in the same tone.

For decoration ceiling surface a small corridor, decorators use one trick, they take out the coating a little outside the hallway, visually adding centimeters to the space. Based on this, it can be seen that the design project of the hallway and corridor fashion apartment- it's not that far out of reach. Everything is possible, there would be a desire!

Comfortable entrance hall to a 1-room apartment: selection and arrangement of furniture

If it is possible to do without spacious wardrobes in a 1-room hallway at all, then it is better to do so.

Various narrow shelves and hangers are quite capable of acting as a replacement, and will help free up the missing space. If this is not possible, if the family is large and there are a lot of shoes, clothes, then ideal solution there will be a wardrobe, better built-in or not having a back wall, maybe shallow, narrow, whose height is up to the ceiling, always with a mirrored facade.

In the long hallway of a 1-room apartment, divided into two zones, at the entrance and in the hall area, various pieces of furniture are placed, which may differ from each other in the way they are used.

But they are required:

• light;
• functional;
• Practical.

For example, at the entrance you can put a pouf, which can also be a shoe rack, as well as arrange a hanger with hooks for clothes. In another zone, you can place a wardrobe, a shelf for a telephone, a key holder, etc. If the corridor is not only long, narrow, but also angular, then you can arrange in it corner wardrobe, radius design.

The large area of ​​the corridor makes it possible to make a functional, aesthetic and ergonomic design. For the comfort of households, a corridor of 6 m 2 should be equipped with a wardrobe. But, the traditional standard system will not work. Perfect option, furniture, made to order, is still at the stage when the renovation is underway. The sliding wardrobe should be high, but not wide. It can take up space from floor to ceiling.

This will make it possible to make a spacious wardrobe, divided into sections for:

• Coats, jackets, raincoats;
• Boots, boots, shoes;
• Umbrellas;
• accessories.

As in a hallway of any other size, it is advisable to arrange a mirror in a corridor of 6 m 2. Although the facade of the closet can act as a mirror surface. By combining several functions at once in one piece of furniture, it is really possible to place a pouffe, a sofa and a wall shelf for keys, and decorative elements on the usable area.

Entrance hall 1 sq. m: lighting and decoration

Corridor, with dimensions 1 square meter, it is difficult to arrange, but nothing is impossible. It doesn’t matter what size the hallway is, enough comfortable lighting should be equipped.
