Visual effects for a narrow room, recommendations for arrangement
To expand the boundaries of a narrow space, designers are actively using visual effects. To make the room seem more spacious, you need to decorate it with wallpaper with a small pattern.
In a small and narrow corridor, even with a standard ceiling height, the feeling of a "well" can be created, in order to avoid this, it is worth lowering the ceiling a little. For example, you can decorate the walls and ceiling in the same color, this will visually lower the "top". You can stretch ceilings or build a two-level plasterboard structure. Hanging, voluminous chandeliers visually reduce the room and press the ceiling down, so it is better to use spotlights or other compact lamps.
If there is a need for a visual expansion of the hallway, then reflective surfaces will help with this. Walls can be painted with interior paint, mirrors of different shapes can be added, furniture with glossy facades can be ordered. For lovers of modern design, furniture made of transparent plastic is suitable. Do not forget about the importance of flooring in interior design.
For a narrow hall, you can recommend a French checkerboard floor or tiles with reflective properties. To remove the excessive elongation of a narrow corridor, it is worth dividing the flooring into zones. For example, decorate the floor with tiles at the entrance to the apartment, and the further space with parquet or laminate. By the way, the floor with a transverse pattern visually pushes the walls, and the longitudinal pattern "works" to narrow the walls.
It is easy to spoil the appearance of the hallway with interior doors, so it is better if they are the same or match in style. For a comfortable life in an apartment, it is preferable when all doors open into rooms. If this is not the case, then it is important to ensure that they do not intersect with each other, because in a collision in the hall, glass or mirrors can be deformed. A good solution to the issue would be the abandonment of interior doors in favor of arches or hinged doors.
It will not be superfluous to think about installing a warm floor at the front door, where usually there are shoes from the street. Thanks to the electric floor, the narrow corridor will become cozier, and the shoes will dry much faster, creating fewer problems.
In a narrow hallway, it is important to correctly place light sources. The entrance to the hallway, mirror, the inner space of the closet, as well as the entrance to the living room area, if there is one in the apartment, should be well lit.
Among the original ideas for decorating a narrow hallway, there is such an option: decorate light walls (pearl, light gray, milky white) with modern graphics or hang frames with photographs. The narrow corridor will turn into a wonderful exposition, say, a family photo archive.
In fact, the appearance of the hallway is of tremendous importance, because the apartment and the owners are judged by it. And the tenants themselves will be much more pleasant to live in a cozy house with a carefully thought-out interior. Not only the theater begins from the hanger, but also our apartments, so there are no, and cannot be, secondary premises in the dwelling, all are equally important.
