Pros of Scandinavian aesthetics for the input zone
As a rule, the hallway gets the smallest amount of attention when repairing an apartment. It is believed that this is a passage space in which there is not much time spend. Meanwhile, this is the face of the house, and it must be decorated accordingly. If you chose the style of Scandinavian countries as the main one, pay attention to the following points.
- Scandy is a real find for narrow and small spaces. The whole secret in the abundance of bright shades and the absence of sharp contrasts.
- The small room will seem more, and big and dark - lighter.
- The abundance of natural materials in decoration and furniture make it very environmentally friendly.
- Simple, practical furniture items.
- Easy to implement yourself, many furniture giants offer items in the appropriate stylistry.
- You can quickly change the design, repainting the wall or updating the decor.
Finish
Walls
Looking through the photo of the interior of the hallway in Scandinavian style, pay attention to the range of design.
White - classic color of wall decoration. However, climatic conditions simply do not leave him a chance: dirt from shoes will be clearly visible in the input zone. Therefore, many designers offer an alternative solution - walls in gray or even pastel shades. But with the latter it is worth to be careful: you need to very finely feel the direction of design so that olive, lavender or gentle-blue tones fit into the design.
If you do not want to move away from the canons, we offer another option: make the wall from the front door of the accent, and the rest are painted in white. Moreover, it can be a monophonic complicated shade (mustard, bordeaux or navi) or decorated with wallpaper with unobtrusive vegetable print.
As for the materials, the best choice is a painting or paint wallpaper. Select simple options without any patterns, those that allow you to carry out wet cleaning.
Floor
Scandinavian style is a tree and natural materials. However, parquet is not the most convenient solution, because in the hallway, wet cleaning is carried out quite often. As an alternative, we propose to consider its artificial analogue: laminate or porcelain stoneware, imitating tree. If the whole apartment is lined up by a parquet, and I don't want to dismantle it, make a small plot with a tile before the entrance door. This will protect natural material from wear in the dirty zone. You can safely take both black and white products and more bold with patterns and patterns.
Ceiling
In the ceiling decoration in any style, there is a simple rule: what it is easier, the better. Only some design directions allow stucco-type decor or color options, but scandins do not apply to them.
It doesn't matter, what size room you draw up: a big or small, the best finish is a matte white ceiling. The choice of material at the same time is limited only by the budget: it may be whitewashed, and painting, and stretch ceilings.
By the way, the whitewashed ceiling in combination with an accent brick wall can be an inspiration for creating an entrance hall in the style of Scandinavian Loft.
Choice of furniture
The highlight of this interior is simplicity and concise, which is also expressed and with the help of furniture items, whether it is a wardrobe or a shoe cabinet. Their main dignity is functionality.
There are no luxurious forms, threads or reliefs, on the contrary, the doors of the cabinets are incredible, and the decor is considered to be inserts from glass or interesting handles.
In a small hallway in Scandinavian style, it is possible to limit ourselves to only the most necessary: a small wardrobe with a built-in mirror and a bag for shoes. You can save area at the expense of wall hooks instead of a separate hanger and open shelves.
If the dimensions allow, you can consider the placement of the sofa, a table or even the library along one of the walls. The advantage of the Scandinavian design is in his versatility.
Most often used furniture made of unprocessed wood or painted in light shades. However, it is often possible to see a more complex color palette: an eggplant or a bottle-green cabinet can be a chip of the interior. At the same time, it is absolutely optionally to look for ready-made offers. Some, for example, independently repose furniture from IKEA or vintage models.
Do not forget about small objects like keystones and hooks - in such well-thoughtful trifles is the mood of Scand.
Decor in the design of the hallway in Scandinavian style
Sometimes this direction is called Scandinavian minimalism, but this is still not quite true. After all, Scanda allows decor, it should bring to the comfort of comfort. The most favorite decoration from this point of view is live plants. They can be suspended or simply placed on the floor.
Also, accessories from natural materials are also quite common: raffia and jute, for example, all sorts of baskets, straw floor lamps or braided wall mirrors. In addition, the walls are decorated with posters with inscriptions and more serious reproductions of paintings by modern artists.
Long corridor can decorate a whole gallery of images. Interesting move: to hang a few works in chaotic order, creating a one-piece composition of them. It is not necessary to pick up the combined one theme paintings, they may differ stylistically.
Another important point is textiles: rug, or decorative pillows on the bench. It will be appropriate to products with ethnic motifs of deep colors or geometric prints.
Lighting
The hallway with the window is rare. This is a space that obviously lacks natural light. At the same time, Scandy is the style that he loves him. The solution will be the system of artificial lighting, and the light should be as close as possible to the natural.
It may include the main chandelier and several additional sources or LED lamps placed on the ceiling, along the edge or on the walls.
As the main chandelier, you should not choose an artichoke model, favorite by designers Scandi, it will not be appropriate at the entrance to the apartment. It is better to do with more modest glass scaves or stylized antiques.
