It is possible to use a very different approach in the design of walls: from the traditional to the original, innovative, which is determined by the interior of the apartment, the hallway in particular.
It is desirable that the hallway, whatever its size, is not overloaded with furniture and accessories. In this case, the space will become freer, and the heaviness, the gloom can be avoided.

The impression of the apartment begins to take shape even from the threshold. Therefore, I want to give it the features of elegance, add spectacular, light colors.
But at the same time the hallway is the place where dust is brought in, dirt from the street. So, very light shades do not fit.
But this room is often small-sized, devoid of natural light. Consequently, dark tones do not suit us. How do we choose?
Selecting the form, choosing texture and color, it is very difficult to choose one or another option. Consider first the colors.

In most apartments, the entrance hall is a small room without windows. Monochrome calm colors in bright colors will allow you to visually make the room larger and more spacious.
The light background of the walls is an excellent option for harmonious combination with furniture, for example, paintings with mirrors.
Bright colors in a small room can do a disservice, concealing even a small amount.
If by design juicy in terms of color palette are desirable, then you can apply them as inserts, combining with a calmer range of shades.
Dark for the hallway as a monocolor is not desirable. If they are used, only with companion flowers. This will avoid darkness and hide the shortcomings of the walls themselves.
Solid colors are attractive because of their conciseness, which will be an ideal background for decor and decor.
Light shades harmoniously look not only with light, but also with dark furniture.
The duet of milky color in combination with furniture of chocolate color looks very beautiful. Harmonious combinations give olive and dairy, etc.

With prints - a beautiful option that fits many styles. Depending on the chosen pattern, you can visually adjust the perception of the hallway.
Large drawing is not an option for a room with a small area. The hallway will seem even smaller, which is completely undesirable. Small drawing will revive the walls.
Equally important is the direction of patterns and ornaments. If the picture has a vertical orientation, it will give the impression of higher ceilings.
With a horizontal arrangement, the walls will appear wider. One of the popular methods in this case is the strip.

It would seem that such a simple color is unassuming, but there are some special features. The vertical bar is such an option, at first glance it seems advantageous - it makes the ceilings visually higher.
But here we are waiting for the danger of getting the unpleasant and uncomfortable effect of a well - high and narrow.
When choosing a striped color shades should be chosen soft and not contrast in the event that the area is small.
In addition to the option when the stripes occupy the entire space from the floor to the ceiling, you can consider the design of only the panel part with striped wallpaper. The optimum height is usually about 100 cm from the floor.
Streaks can be decorated walls and in a horizontal direction. This technique allows the hallway to look wider, although it hides the height.

Occurring quite often, this option refers to the functional and classic. In this case, different colors can be combined.
It is considered advantageous to combine in the design of dark to highlight panels and light for the rest of the wall.
This option will allow to combine the requirements of practicality and attractiveness, as the low-lying bottom of the walls will be compensated by a light upper part.
The junction of the panels on the upper edge of the panels must be beautifully decorated.As an option - molding of polyurethane or a suitable frieze.
Such an underlined division can be unacceptable if the proportions of the already small corridor suffer.
Doesn’t it work with stripes to create a beautiful interior? Consider no less interesting design options further.

The combination of two types of colors in one hallway is not always a classic division with the help of panels. A completely different approach is to single out one wall or its protruding part.
Successful combinations are considered options with plain wallpaper.
Or an approach in which with a print combined with monophonic. In this design, a fragmentary wall, a niche or a protruding part can stand out with a large pattern.

In addition to the originality of design, spectacular designs are very practical in design: they are smaller than on plain panels, there are damages and occasional pollution.
Texture and imitation: crocodile, snake, stone ...
The color of the canvas, which imitates natural material (wood, stone, sand, etc.) has been very popular for many years.
Such textures should be used limitedly, since imitation, for example, of a large brick, can be perceived as a pressing influence.
It is desirable that even the textured background was dim and calm. So he will not get bored, and will not be annoying.

The cloth has not only low cost, but also low durability, and, therefore, and small service life.
