The dimensions of your hallway are far from the desired? Not trouble: We prepared for you a short list of tips on visual expansion even the smallest room.
1 Accent surfaces
The accent wall, floor, door or ceiling can distract attention from the modest size of the hallway. Be sure to use this technique: one of the surfaces can be put on a motley tiled, paint into the contrasting color, salary patterned wallpaper or purchase a bright rug, poster, panel.
2 Shift center of gravity
If you visually make one of the walls of the hallway more "loaded", you can shift the visual center of gravity and change the perception of the dimensions of the room for the better. To take advantage of this reception, you can spend posters or paintings on one of the walls, organize photoollage, place a mirror in a massive frame. Or arrange all the furniture in the hallway along one of the walls.
Bonus: This technique will not only distract attention from the size of a small hallway, but also adjusts the proportions of narrow and elongated room.
3 more light
The smaller in the room of dark corners, that it seems spacious. Try to take care of good artificial lighting, and multiply natural light: light color gamut and mirror, glossy and other reflective surfaces will help in this.
4 non-standard furniture sizes
Another way to influence the visual perception of the sizes of a tiny entrance hall is to bet on the furniture of non-standard sizes. If in priority functionality and you want to place the maximum setting items, refer to narrow models of the most modest size. This furniture can be found from many manufacturers or make to order.
You can also detect suitable options in the seats for the bathrooms (there is a great choice of narrow cabinets - penalches) and for children's (miniature benches, stools, lockers and dressers are abundant there).
If you are ready to limit ourselves to one or two objects of the situation, you can go to another way and purchase models of pretty overall dimensions (it can be a massive hanger for outerwear, a large ceiling lamp or an impressive mirror). Such a move deftly deceives our perception of the size of the room.
5 Furniture and Decor
Are you ready to give up furniture and decor in the hallway and limit the pair of minimally necessary accessories (say, wall hanger and welcome rug)? Excellent! The smaller in the tiny room of the elements of the situation, the more it seems spacious.
6 Wardrobe arrangement
Highlight literally a couple of square meters for the wardrobe arrangement - and the need to clutter the miniature hallway (and other apartments) will disappear by massive objects.
7 facades of furniture in the color of the walls
Option with dressing room not for you? In this case, try to pick up furniture with facades in the color of the walls: so it will seem much less cumbersome.
8 Mirror and transparent furniture
