Tips for decorating the corridor
The corridor is usually a long and often narrow passage that unites the rooms of a house or apartment. The design of a long and narrow corridor requires a special approach in designing.
If the corridor is narrow, then the important task of the designer -widen the visual boundaries to make it more spacious and comfortable. It is important to choose the right color of the walls. When choosing wallpaper for walls or paint, it is better to choose light colors. If the corridor does not have external lighting, the best option may be white, because it has the ability to reflect light and visually expand the space. Meanwhile, the main drawback of white walls in the corridor is that they get dirty quite quickly, especially if there are small children in the apartment, in which case the white walls may not be very practical. Instead of white, you can use light pastel colors. The best solution for a narrow corridor is green, light blue, light purple, beige. Another option for visual expansion of space is the use of mirrors. Mirrors on the doors of the wardrobe or on the walls will add a room to the light and visually expand it. The second important step is good lighting. In order for the corridor to visually appear larger, you need to place several built-in lamps on the ceiling, depending on the interior style and individual preferences chosen. In addition, it is important to choose the "right" gender. The drawing of the floor covering should not be too bright and "flashy", as this will make the building visually smaller. When designing a narrow corridor, it is necessary to avoid the use of longitudinal strips. They only emphasize the irregular shape of the room and visually distort them, further narrowing and lengthening. In this case, a carpet with a parallel pattern around the edges or a dark carpet can help. The narrow corridor will be more spacious if you select a neutral light-colored floor and put 2-3 small rugs decorated with a graphic pattern or wide strips.
