When undertaking a global renovation of an apartment, before you tear off the first piece of old wallpaper, it is worthwhile to draw up a schematic design plan for a new kind of your apartment. This is necessary first of all in order to avoid flaws and inconsistencies in the styles and designs of the premises. It often happens that the rooms are made and furnished, it remains to make repairs in the corridor. There are many ideas for this, but only one or two of them are suitable for a particular implementation. It is to avoid this that a general repair plan should be prepared in advance.
Do not underestimate such premises as corridors. It is not important that the corridor plays the role of a connecting element of all rooms among themselves. If you really want your apartment with a new renovation to look great, you need to give proper attention to everything. Let's talk about the ideas of repair and design of a narrow corridor in the apartment.
In search of ideas for the design of a narrow corridor, it is worth starting from the basic issues of repair (decoration of walls, floors, lighting, interior). If you correctly solve these four problems, then consider that you have successfully coped with the design of the narrow corridor in the apartment.
How to visually expand a narrow corridor?
Let's examine in detail the above four tasks in the context of the visual expansion of a narrow corridor.
Let's start with the walls. As you know, light colors create the illusion of volume and space. Therefore, trying to visually expand the narrow corridor, use a light, matte or glossy color to decorate the walls. This technique can be realized by painting walls, pasting wallpaper with longitudinal patterns (preferably lines). Ideas with a volumetric molding and decorating the walls with a decorative stone should be left without attention. This does not play into your hands in the matter of increasing space. If you still want the color of the walls to be made in dark tones, you need to choose the right lighting.
The lighting of a narrow corridor in the apartment should emphasize its overall design. The large availability of light will help visually increase space. When selecting bulbs, choose fluorescent lamps or incandescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps are not recommended because they have the property to distort color perception, which in our case is not desirable.
The floor should be made of a strong and waterproof flooring, since the section near the doors will definitely be exposed to moisture, it can be made from non-sliding tiles. And deep into the corridor you can lay a parquet .
Interior in a narrow and long corridor, too, must be selected very carefully. Namely, in such a way as to provide a maximum of free space. Try not to obstruct the interior with the entrance to the corridor, due to the fact that the amount of furniture will be kept to a minimum, the narrow and long corridor will appear more spacious and wider.
