The hallway is a small room, no one here is usually delayed, so it is drawn up according to the residual principle. But the opinion that choosing wallpaper for the hallway is easy, wrong.
Firstly, this room is the first to welcome guests, and secondly, the design of wallpaper and other finishes for the corridor should be kept in the same style and support each other. The first option that came to mind will not work.
Types, disadvantages and advantages
When choosing wallpaper remember the specifics of the room. The corridor is most susceptible to the accumulation of dirt and dust, the surfaces of furniture and walls are subjected to mechanical stress. The preferred finish will be a washable finish.
According to the degree of moisture resistance wallpaper is divided into:
- Resist only gentle care with a soft cloth. The image of a single wave on the label.
- Moisture resistant, withstand wet cleaning with a wet cloth. Two waves.
- Those that are subjected to washing with the use of detergents. Three waves, the most resistant - with a brush icon.
Paper and textile wallpaper in the hallway design rejects, they do not meet all the requirements. If they are used, then only as small decorative fragments.
Popularity enjoy:
- Durable, based on non-woven, vinyl. The texture hides the defects of the walls, do not crack, they are difficult to tear or set on fire.
- Silk screen printing The top layer consists of silk threads, the basis of paper. Easy to care, serve for a long time.
- For lovers of non-trivial solutions fit liquid wallpaper. After application, they give the effect of an untreated wall, pleasant to the touch.
- Glass fiber is spectacular, durable, many times subjected to staining. Maintain mechanical cleaning.
- Flizelinovye used to create imitations of natural materials.
- For those not cramped in the media, not imitations are available, but real bamboo, cork or palm leaves. Create an eco-friendly interior, combined with other species.
What color to choose
Halls are rarely ideal forms, they are often too small, narrow, low, dark. To get rid of all the shortcomings immediately try to light shades. But the shades of white are not for long; the room soon becomes untidy. If the coating cannot be washed, it is impractical. The sense of freedom in space with dark walls is also lost.
The golden mean for a close corridor will be light, but warm shades, contrasting ornaments, dosed colorful elements. Dark spots will hide possible dust, light will relieve the feeling of a crypt.
With well-chosen colors and the walls, the “wrong” corridor will become wider and taller. Pastel colors will fill the space with comfort and air.
Solid colors
A simple option - to paste over the room with not striking wallpaper. Gray-brown tones fit almost everywhere, light skirting in this case will create volume.
The monotony and boredom of the light interior will be diluted by the bright decor: spots of accessories, cabinet doors of unusual shape, a large mirror. They will make you forget about the faded walls.
Plain wallpaper is a perfect background, especially gray. Any colors stand out on a deaf gray, a photo exhibition on the subject of family history or summer travel is organized on the walls.
A bright room, where there is little space, is filled with glossy facades, decorated with huge mirrors. In the dark shades bright white decor stands out. Underline the elegance and aristocracy tile to match the wallpaper on the floor.
Vertical stripes and pictures
For narrow narrow corridor striped wallpaper - the source of rhythm. The strip will remind you of the classic English interior, the retro-style of the times of Khrushchev. Vertical stripes visually lift the ceiling. Making the wall alternating wide bright stripes with white saturate the cramped volume and air.
Narrow vertical stripes will make you remember the association with the picket fence, give you a chamber of nature, a sense of security. A boring corner is made up with contrasting stripes. With such a fun spot, no more decorations will be required.
Fans of elegance and halftones will decorate the hall in an unobtrusive alternation of embossed stripes. Properly selected accessories complete the room design in a classic style. Closest in tone stripes of light shades will remind you of Provence, dark stripes will add respectability. The alternation of dark dull and shiny stripes will make the interior voluminous.
Vertical is the pattern of wallpaper, for example, trees or ornament.
Horizontal drawings and stripes
A horizontal strip will push the room apart, but reduce the height. Unlike vertical stripes, horizontal stripes do not evoke a classic mood.
Horizontal bar is not only color. So have visual effects, interesting prints.
Horizontal stripes make parallel and short walls, this technique visually lengthens them.
Striped wallpapers in the hallway are always fashionable, but be careful with them. A common method of pasting - pasting a strip of the bottom of the wall, a kind of imitation panels.
Large drawings
Ornaments, monograms, rosettes are characteristic signs of a classic style. When gilding is added to the interior, wooden slats enhance the feeling of luxury and elegance. A large floral ornament is an oriental-style element, plant images are used in Provence or Country style.
Given the style of the room and a small amount, wallpaper with a pronounced pattern is placed only on one wall.
Large-scale geometric ornament - a frame for a dark entrance door. A small room will be even smaller if the large pattern floods all the walls.
Light background and dark pattern.
The pattern on the wallpaper levels or enhances the overall impression. Surfaces where damage and dirt are possible are practical to be pasted over with light wallpaper with an inconspicuous contrast pattern, an abstract geometric pattern. Rhythmic repetitive prints on a white background with a milk or ivory tint will not distract from interior doors and other design elements.
The main thing when choosing a pattern on the wallpaper - not to miss with his character, saturation. If it is necessary to increase the concentration of light and air, choose thin flying lines on a light background. These walls look soaring, do not clutter up a small room. Even a large print in a small hallway looks elegant, does not create a sense of color contrast, is not annoying.
Wall mural
Design wallpaper for the interior of the corridor is a science. Easier with a large lounge, where fit almost any option. Above the walls in Khrushchev will have to think. Photowall-paper expands space on condition of observance of proportions between the sizes of a wall where they will be located, and drawing.
When deciding to decorate the entrance hall with photo wallpaper, you need to remember a few rules:
- Large ornament and 3D effect will significantly reduce the space.
- To design does not put pressure on the vision and psyche, bright colors on the walls are combined with pastel.
- The selection of dark images will narrow the corridor.
- Small-sized apartment will not tolerate small drawings and flowers, for this kind of pictures you need a lot of light.
- If you wish to expand the hallway, opposite the photo wallpaper hung mirrors.
Photo cells decorate all the walls, one of the surfaces or part of the vertical, horizontal, depending on the design idea, the availability of free space. The plot is the streets of the city, nature, which veils the real size of the room.
When the perspective is clearly marked on the wallpaper, they are stuck in front of the front door. On the lateral surfaces, the outgoing image breaks the space. A single bright element takes all the attention, becomes an accent.
If the room does not have large empty areas, and you want to place the wallpaper, use one of the tricks:
- with their help they make a modular picture;
- make out some kind of false window;
- use on an entrance, interroom, furniture door;
- decorate the ceiling.
Bright color
Combining bright and monophonic elements, set up home and guests in a cheerful way, entertain. A red or lemon stain, a cell will enliven the hallway, make it warm, cozy. Even extreme solutions for the entry zone are acceptable, because no one is delayed here for a long time.
Bright intricate prints distract attention from the chaos of the situation: the set of doors in a narrow corridor, things in the wrong place, differently colored pieces of furniture. Saturated tones make the space smaller, but cozier. A single bright strip of wallpaper at the end of a long corridor will bring the wall closer, focusing attention.
Picturesque bright flowers look elegant, supported by a combination with the same shades on the door, rug or tile, curtains. Modern styling with the use of abstract paintings will look fresh when the background and accessories are combined in color. If the owners are not against expression, and the room is white enough, they are satisfied with the color “explosion” that will refresh the interior and charge it with energy.
Active drawing requires a minimum of jewelry. In addition to wallpaper, in this interior is nothing more required.
Combination Rules
The perception of the interior is decided by the right choice of wallpaper on the characteristics of durability, but not only. Important color, texture of the material. Always repelled from the parameters of the room. In order to achieve a certain perception of the hallway area, it is pasted over with two or three kinds of material; they create combinations of light and dark tones, simple monophonic and patterned drawings. When choosing shades to create combinations are guided by the location and number of lamps.
In the hallway with custom designs: protrusions, niches, decorative arches, they are accentuated with bright colors, stylish patterns.
Principles of combination
- Bright wallpaper used in the interior only as an insert, decorate large areas with bright surfaces impractical.
- Saturated colors are diluted, add a soft palette.
- Wall materials should not contradict the color of the furniture, the style of the room.
- Do not combine wallpaper of different price categories, thickness.
- When creating combinations, they try to find a common element of a pattern or texture, a basic shade.
Combination Methods
Vertical
In modern hallways, strips of wallpaper with the same texture and width, but in different colors, extend the size and extend the corridor to the desired limits.
Horizontal
It helps to protect the lower part of the walls from unfavorable contacts. Upper is made taking into account the style. With this method, do not use a large number of different shades, it visually overloads. The classic combination is 2-3 colors.
Decorative inserts
They distinguish some areas, make out the frames as a panel.
Combination of techniques
Here the flight of fancy is unlimited. The main thing to remember about the features of the room, the materials themselves.
How to glue correctly
- Wallpapers are selected in thickness, the walls are masked with relief coatings.
- To comply with the vertical and horizontal pre-applied markup.
- The first to put on the wall of the main canvas.
- To emphasize some areas, masking seams, wallpaper piping and moldings are used, designers' ideas with slats and borders are used.
- At the joints of the two types of wallpaper make sure that the glue does not leave traces on previously pasted fragments.
Selection depending on the shape and area of the room
In the buildings of Soviet times, where the area of the room at the entrance leaves much to be desired, before repairing it is necessary to think through all the nuances, so that as a result the space gives energy to those who leave and inspire homework after the arrival.
Design wallpaper in the narrow hallway
In rooms where the useful area is very small, the thoughtful design corrects the defects of a long "tunnel". Key points to remember:
- Do not use black, dark blue, brown is harmful, with them the corridor will become even narrower.
- Light shades are preferred, but the interior should not be associated with the interior of the car.
- Bright colors in moderation.
- More spacious seems to be the space where the combination is used.
- Use neutral drawings, striped wallpaper to make the room different from others.
- Covering pastel colors with dark streaks of the pattern will hide possible blemishes and abrasions.
- Large figure is contraindicated.
Wallpaper design in a small hallway
Here choose any wallpaper, only so that they do not visually reduce the room. If, apart from a small area, the room is distinguished by low walls, they are decorated with vertical striped wallpaper. It is not necessary to narrow the space trim walls under brick and stone. If the owners like natural materials, resort to their imitations, buy decoration under the mat, sackcloth, bamboo. At the same time choose shades more lightly, so as not to weigh down the interior.
For a small hallway is important:
- A room in warm colors will visually shrink, cold shades will expand it.
- A large picture reduces the room, a small pattern will help to push the walls apart.
- The surface of the walls should be matte, without reliefs, complex ornament.
Wallpaper design in the spacious hallway
In a spacious room of a private house, dark and bright tones and contrasts are permissible. If you stop on a light background, then the feeling of spaciousness can be muffled in a large, expressive print. It is only necessary to find a balance between the volume of the hallway and the visual effect to which they aspire.
Wallpaper with the effect of wood, brickwork, cork is most appropriate in a large room. The ability of such a coating to hide extra square meters will be useful. In free space, such styles as avant-garde and modern find freedom for the designer's imagination. On the empty spaces of the walls hung pictures and family photos.
Conclusion
Observing the basic rules when choosing, sticking wallpaper, working with combinations, create a unique interior. A room that welcomes home and guests will be stimulated to relax in native walls, striving for harmonious relationships.
