Corridor in the apartment: interior design and features of the combination of styles (95 photos). Design of the corridor 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 the conversation about it can be carried on almost endlessly. I already have articles about large front entrance areas with stairs. This is also a very important topic for discussion, since many of us can live in private houses 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 “office spaces” in our house.
After all, there can be much more than one corridor!
How do you ask this?
Very simple! There are corridors that are connecting link between rooms inside our houses.

our apartment

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, as if I did not want to .. but the space does not work out in a different way ... 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 plunging into the abyss of redevelopment, let's remember MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR CORRIDORSso that a person could pass through quietly, so that the doors could open and close, and even two people could disperse ...

Minimum norms are well laid out 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 poses, when a friend is next to us, or when we put on a jacket ... I think my drawing will help you remember this, or just print it out for yourself. All dimensions in the figure are in millimeters.

by Oxana 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 brought out the width for long corridors in 110-120 cm ... from personal professional experience. But Herr Neufert also reminds us that the minimum width of the corridors depends on where the door that comes out of it opens!

by Oxana Panteleeva

If the doors open inside 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 colliding with doors.

After we already know everything about the minimum width, now let's talk about the minimum area of \u200b\u200bconnecting corridors also along Neufert.

Such a square space of only 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, although 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 it is very important to open the door “inward or outward”, this affects both the cost of the door and the plinth that can be fixed to it (the full impression of the wall).

If a corridor is to connect 5 or 6 rooms, then its area also 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 for planning small walk-through spaces like corridors, an important topic that is sometimes overlooked.

The article uses photos from the resource Pinterest. All photos can be found in my album “Long narrow hallway” - join us!

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, disguising themselves as the general concept of decorating living rooms. Meanwhile, ignoring this part of the house sometimes leads to uncomfortable and uncomfortable functional solutions... At best, these parts of the room are facelessly lost and concealed, at worst they introduce dissonance and spoil the overall impression.

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

These small areas are a kind of bridges not only between different 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 taken. 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 may consist in one or two independent elements.

The choice of material for flooring is one of the crucial tasks. Linoleum, tiles or wood with heating, the use of carpets and rugs are due to 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 in two or more color combinations,
• sharp color contrast.

The use of rugs and hallway rugs can add a touch of flavor, creating coziness and geometrically expanding the space.

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

Another design feature of the solution is the construction different types rectangular and rounded arched structures.

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

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

Visual extension 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 appear, with proper design of which general comfort and increased functionality will be provided.

Small corridors and hallways are great playgrounds for 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.

Otherwise, mirrored or reflective surfaces will be a stylish and useful addition in 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 expanded through the skillful use of directional light in combination with mirrors. In small and square segments, evenly diffused light can be used with several spotlights.

Light blues, olive and beige tones will be a versatile solution for painting walls. In low rooms, the ceilings should be a tone lighter; in the corridor, wallpaper with vertical stripes can be used.

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 shade darker. Strong contrasts can also be applied using dark colored tiles. Diagonal laying 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 using this method, a separate entrance, near-door space is formed, which, in contrast, sometimes in all parameters (floor, ceiling, walls), differs from the passage part. The latter, as a rule, merges with the design of the room with which the corridor is connected.

Inner side front door and the design of other doors leading to the corridor, with a lack of space, acquire a special essential... 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 designs or photographs for doors that change the configuration of the space.

Furnishings and decor

Properly selected furniture and decorative details complement the decoration of the room. They can also without overhaul the apartment is unrecognizable 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, equipped 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 amount of space.

Furniture in small spaces should be limited to open shelves and corner or built-in wardrobes. Cabinets with open shelves require a certain amount of space; in small spaces they look unnecessarily piled up, giving the impression of being cramped and cluttered.

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

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

People often pay more attention to the renovation of residentialpremises : bedroom, nursery, living room, kitchen, bathroomroom, forgetting that the corridor is the first room , which you find yourself in when entering the house.

Better to use the following shades:

• Sand;

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

Whatever modern ideas the design of the hallway did not form the basis of the project; in the pursuit of beauty, one must not forget the main thing - the purpose of this part of the home.

The above colors are not conspicuous in artificial lightcorridor , which makes it possible to use various decor items. If desiredmake room the brighter ones are blue and green tones. They allow you to come up with a large number of interesting combinations. And you can brightmake only one wall.

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

You just need to adhere to 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 buy a shallow (45 cm) wardrobe, 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 mezzanine, as well as in other suitable places:

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

They must be resistant to:

• Moisture;
• Dust;
• Mud.

You also need to buy a stock 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 finishing ceiling surface a small corridor, decorators use one trick, take out the coating a little outside the hallway, visually adding centimeters to the space.

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 substitute and will help free up the missing space. If this is impossible, if the family is large and there are a lot of shoes and clothes, then ideal solution there will be a wardrobe, better built-in or without a back wall, maybe shallow, narrow, the height of which 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.

Perfect option, custom-made furniture is still at the stage of renovation. The sliding wardrobe should be high, but not wide. It can take place from floor to ceiling.

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

• Coats, jackets, raincoats;
• Boots, shoes, shoes;
• Umbrellas;
• Accessories.
