Classic style hall

The very first room where the hosts get, guests of the house, is the hall. Here they remove, store outer clothing, shoes, comb their hair, apply make-up before going outside. The original design of the hallway in the classical style was always popular - it is "timeless", despite the abundance of modern solutions. This area is very diverse - from the very ancient antiquity to the "Soviet" low-key interior of the mid-twentieth century.

Depending on the size of the space, the amount of finances, the owner's fantasy, the desired design is created in the interior - from the simplest, concise, to the luxurious, "palace". The abundance of decor in the modern world is considered not fashionable, of little practical. The nuances of the design of the hallway, its classical arrangement, options for decoration, furniture, lighting are described in this article.

The basic principles of finishing the hallway

Traditionally, the front is located just behind the entrance door. By the nature of the arrangement, it is “masculine”, associated with strict clear lines, coarse, brutal forms, and “feminine” - personifying smooth contours, elegance. Designers recommend carefully combining both options.

When making the hall you need to consider:

  • there is everything you need - a hanger, a mirror, a shelf for shoes, etc .;
  • functionality - the convenience of undoing and undressing;
  • the room usually has no windows, because it is important to consider options for artificial lighting;
  • it should not be overly cluttered;
  • in the autumn-winter period it is useful to use decorative dirt-retaining mats;
  • The corridor is arranged in the same style as the rest of the apartment.

In the presence of windows, they are draped with spectacular curtains, tapestries, which certainly should look expensive, made from natural fabrics. In parallel with them are applied transparent organza curtains.

    

Features the design of the hallway in a classic style

The classic design direction of the front means light, pastel colors. Bright accents are available in small quantities in draperies, in the design of furniture, paintings on the walls. All colors are preferred warm. Symmetry is another important feature of style. If possible, it is necessary to adhere to the maximum: ornaments, architectural elements, decorative sculptures, furniture to place symmetrically.

Modern technologies gave rise to the neoclassical style - elements of antiquity in it are combined with geometric forms, clear silhouettes, stucco molding with modern materials of decoration, pictures in gilded frames with mother-of-pearl inlay.

    

Materials and methods of finishing

Finishing materials are preferred natural or high-quality imitation of them - natural wood, veneer, light marble, white wallpaper with a complex texture, ornaments made of artificial stone in several places. If the room is spacious enough, it can be zoned using different colors and textures of the walls, floor, ceiling. Zoning is carried out with maximum observance of the rules of symmetry. In a two-level apartment from the hall to the second floor there is a wooden staircase with carved railing, often it is covered with a carpet. Under the stairs there is a wardrobe or a complete dressing room, separated from the hall by a mirror, a screen.


    

Floor

Floors combine in color with walls, ceiling. Parquet "herringbone" or in rows, well-processed flooring, a mosaic of different types of wood, marble, granite - the best solutions for luxury classics. Such coatings are expensive, but very durable. For cheaper options use laminate, mostly light - white, yellow, pink-ocher, pale brown. Floor tiles are stacked "chess" or in the form of various patterns with a central, mirror symmetry. On the floor are often located sculptures "under antiquity", stone vases, walkways, carpets with floral patterns. The presence of podiums here is very welcome.


    

Walls

Materials for the design of vertical surfaces are used different - paint, wallpaper, wall panels MDF. In the "expensive" interiors use natural wood, varnished, inlaid veneer, upholstery with luxurious fabrics with fine patterns, natural stone. Mandatory element - a mirror, often framed wood carving, gypsum or polyurethane pilasters. If space permits, a fireplace is created on one of the walls - it can be a shelf located in the center of the hallway, from the bottom of which an image of the hearth with a kettle is laid out with a decorative stone, a carved or brick false fireplace is mounted. It can also be in a niche, creating a unique comfort front.


    

Ceiling

The ceilings in the classic hallway are decorated with plaster stucco, including gilded, with its plastic imitation, voluminous plinths, and ceiling tiles. All elements located on this plane should be symmetrical. In a long corridor, two or three or more identical lamps are hung at the equal distance from each other in the middle line of the ceiling. Good-looking multi-level suspended ceilings, strictly white, almond, beige shades. If the chandelier in the room is single, its base is decorated with a volume outlet made of stucco, imitated from polyurethane. A lot of point fixtures are made out with smaller sockets.


    

Color solutions

The interior of classicism is made mainly in light, warm colors. Textile materials are present in the lobby as floor carpets, walkways, curtains, bedspreads with small pile on the furniture for sitting. They are preferably taken a couple of tones darker than the walls, the floor. Intricate floral ornaments, fancy patterns will add noble design.
The green color here is present exclusively in the form of "living" plants in flowerpots or their imitation from fabric, polymers. The red-brown classic interior is replete with wooden lacquered details. Gilding, bronzing, decorative "aging" of objects is used quite often. Pertinent in this style of dark blue, deep green, chestnut, slate, coffee, gray-coal color.

    

The furniture is preferred white, beige, dark chocolate. Dark objects contrast with light-colored walls, floors made of natural wood, stone. Mosaic patterns on the floor can also be contrasted - black and red squares on a white background, golden-orange curls on a dark brown.

There should be almost no sharp contrasts in the interiors of the "classic" type - the room is drawn up in soothing, subtle tones, in compliance with a single system.

    

Lighting

Lighting front is of great importance. Light should be enough to get dressed without problems, put on shoes, put hair in order, and, if necessary, put on makeup. The amount of light doubles when there is a large wall mirror in which the light sources are reflected. The make-up mirror with LED bulbs along the contour looks original and modern - its shape, design should be chosen very carefully, otherwise this element will completely get out of the general style.

Bulk crystal chandelier will be an expensive "highlight" of a large square room. The main thing - to fix it strictly in the center. Additional lighting is located around the perimeter of the ceiling of the hall - it looks especially good if it is multi-level. In the presence of bras, stylized candelabra with candles, it should also correspond to the general style.

Any types of floor lamps for a classical hallway are not recommended.

    

Selection and placement of furniture

It is not necessary to clutter the corridor with furniture, especially if it is narrow, small - there should be only the most necessary things here. If the apartment is inhabited by elderly people, small children, then in the hallway they put a sofa, a high chair, a padded stool - to put on, to remove street shoes for these categories of the population while standing can be problematic.

From the furniture needed:

  • dressing room for clothes, shoes - it is sometimes replaced with an open hanger;
  • shelves of various configurations;
  • mirror - preferably in full growth, with lighting directly above it;
  • chest of drawers, bedside table for storing small items;
  • a compact sofa, an armchair or a few chairs.

    

The furniture is selected in natural colors, it often has figured legs. The ideal material is solid pine, cherry, maple, ash, oak, walnut, red, ebony. Soft parts are made of leather, its substitutes, patterned fabrics, mainly natural colors, velvet, velor. This finish looks very representative. A pair of lightweight rattan wicker chairs will emphasize naturalness, enlivening the austere interior, bringing in an ethnic element.

Many manufacturers sell furniture for the front door immediately sets. This kit includes a long high closet where hang clothes, put shoes. There are also many drawers, shelves for various trifles - gloves, umbrellas, caps. The mirror can be located on the inner, outer surface of the cabinet door. The soft corner is built in or placed separately.

    

Decorative details

Original decorative accessories also pay attention. Stucco molding, columns, figured door handles, switches "under bronze", leather upholstery of the door create a special atmosphere of the nostalgic past. Pictures, photos on the walls in the classic interior are not welcome, but if they are, they should be the same in size, placed strictly symmetrical. Most often these are reproductions of masterpieces by famous artists.

Carved elements of furniture, wall cladding, ceiling, give the room a finished look. Wooden, clay, bone, bronze, porcelain figurines "under antique" on the shelves underline the classic style. Openwork can be decorated with a partition separating the hallway from the living room. Decorative hooks, which hang up an umbrella, key, hat, etc. should match the style of the hall. Frosted white or dark glass in the interior doors is perfectly combined with frosted shades on the chandeliers, wall lamps.

    

Small hallway in classic style

The narrow entrance hall can also be beautiful, stylish, unique, although the classics in such a front room looks very modest. To make a small room seem as spacious as possible, it is decorated in bright colors, decorating one or two vertical surfaces with large mirrors. The abundance of glass, light, a minimum of unnecessary items will help to visually expand the corridor.

The depth of the cabinets is preferable to no more than 40-45 cm, they can have sliding mirrored doors, if the chosen direction is neoclassicism. Upholstered furniture should also be small-sized, always selected in one manner. The small front is designed for easy cleaning, so that dirt from the street does not rush into the apartment. It is better to choose a light-colored floor covering, but it is worth to refuse from stucco molding on the ceiling and walls.

Such a variant of classicism as baroque is not suitable for a small area - it is always performed with a "royal" scale, having a huge amount of surround decor. The use of baroque elements is not forbidden - a mirror with an ornate pattern on a gilded frame, a stool covered with velvet, a small crystal chandelier. From the Empire style, you can borrow a floor carpet with a fringe, and Rococo is used in cases where it is impossible to observe symmetry.

    

Conclusion

The traditional design style of the corridor and other rooms of a modern apartment will remain relevant for many years. The scope of designer fantasy is huge. A modest finish in bright colors is perfect for a small hallway, more ambitious, expensive, variegated - spacious. The project of the original design, everyone can develop their own, make repairs with their own hands. If this is problematic, specialists will come to the rescue, who will not only depict the room in “three de”, but also select the appropriate materials, furniture, decorative components, in accordance with the wishes of the customer and the budget available.
