Hallway Design 2018 (+80 photos)

We all want to see every corner of our home beautiful and practical. If we consider from the point of view of repair such an extraordinary space as a hallway, then its organization requires a particularly careful approach. Not only for the reason that it is subject to pollution and other stresses, but primarily because this zone accompanies us when leaving and entering the room, and it creates the first impression. Therefore, the hall should be neat, aesthetic and functional, as well as relevant to current trends and style of the rest of the home.

The modern design of rooms for any purpose involves fairly light principles - comfort and simplicity will be the top priorities in 2018. For many owners of Soviet-designed apartments, the simple geometric shapes, the rejection of abundant luxury and the use of minimalism motifs that will bring a modern note to any interior will be an undeniable plus. In almost all cases, the hallway has a small area, sometimes “rewarding” the owner with its irregular shape, and there is almost always no source of natural light. These features and limitations make the selection of each design element a responsible task.

This part of the dwelling is a kind of transition zone from a noisy and teeming street with excessive rhythm to living rooms, alluring with the comfort and atmosphere of relaxation. For people who are first confronted with the design of a site of a small quadrature, it may seem that arranging a small space is much easier than more spacious, but this is only on the one hand. The framework of the hallway limits you in the choice of solutions, so you should strive to create the most practical and pleasant environment that will take into account the wishes of households and the parameters of a particular room.

The recommendations of designers dedicated to the current year of 2018 offer especially careful adherence to the principles of comfortable minimalism when planning an entrance hall. You should refrain from unnecessary elements, while focusing on the necessary interior items, in which case even a modest area can please the owner not only with its functionality, but also with a wonderful exclusive environment.

The specifics of the hallway with its small dimensions oblige to a responsible approach to the selection of colors. For such a zone, the most successful solution would be to use basic shades as a basis using bright splashes of color.

The snow-white spectrum is an indicator of cleanliness and accuracy. This is the most favorable tone for the visual expansion of the boundaries of space. Together with the right lighting and large mirrors, white completely eliminates the effect of pressure walls and gives a feeling of freedom and spring lightness.

If you do not want to surround yourself with a cold palette, but at the same time get a delicious airy and fresh result, stop on beige. Warm colors envelop and soothe residents and guests. Using woody notes and greens, you will create an atmosphere of laid-back naturalness and softness of lines, which always looks very stylish.

The trend color of graphite in 2018 renews gray with renewed vigor. Dilute a cold dark shade with white, wood, green, red and beige. This tone is quite fundamental and serious, so it will easily perceive the laid-back, and sometimes even funny details in the form of a picture with a cat, a cheerful rug on the threshold, and also a plant falling to the floor.

The color of the sun is full of life-giving energy. It's nice when you enter the cloister, you immediately feel the light and heat. This year, boldly please yourself with lemon and mustard shades, garlands, wide mirrors and beautiful plants.

Red tones regain their leading position. Decorate the hallway with muted terracotta or glossy classic red, and you will exceed all your expectations - the previously unremarkable corridor will be a spicy completion of the whole design of your apartment.

For a competent approach to the selection of finishing materials, one should take into account the entire volume of features of a particular room: its area, as well as the location of all doors. The fundamental factors in choosing materials are the following: periodic surface clogging, mechanical stress, as well as temperature changes that occur in private households, because they do not have a buffer in the form of an entrance.

One of the best options for finishing the floor in your hallway will be floor tiles. In most cases, porcelain stoneware is best suited. It is a ceramic product, the strength of which is achieved through various additives. Installation and the cost of the material will cost more than, for example, linoleum, but these costs will pay off, since they are investments for many years - ceramic or porcelain tile is one of the most long-term options for flooring.

Unlike floor coverings, walls have much less impact from negative factors and loads. Nevertheless, when choosing finishing materials here a number of features should be taken into account. The use of some types of wallpaper will not be advisable, since paper wallpapers quickly lose their original appearance and cannot be cleaned, and their textile counterparts are much more expensive and you will have to abandon detergents when caring for them.

Based on observational data, it can be concluded that in 2018 washable, liquid wallpapers, some types of wall panels and paints, brickwork, as well as decorative plaster can be a practical and suitable material for the hallway.

To design the ceiling, you should choose the most versatile and simple finishing materials. Given the shape, as well as the area of ​​the hallway, it will not always be appropriate to apply designs with several levels and bright colors.

The snow-white canvas at first glance does not look like a completely creative design option, but its use will visually increase the volume and fit any chosen wall and ceiling cladding, and will also remain modern and stylish for a long time. Original lighting fixtures will help you to dilute the monochromy of monochrom.

Not all homes have a spacious entrance hall. Based on this, arranging furniture is not an easy task, especially considering the fact that decisions must be combined with the needs of the family. Layout of typical apartments, as a rule, involves a small corridor, which is also limited by interior doors or has the wrong configuration.

Ideal for placement in confined spaces will be a built-in wardrobe for outerwear and shoes, as well as wardrobe items and accessories that you access every day. If the area does not allow even a small built-in closet to be installed, you can do only with a system of wall hooks, as well as a shoe rack that can be successfully installed under them. With the latter approach, you should also take into account the contact between clothes and the surface of the walls, so you should resort to the appropriate materials for decoration.

If, however, your hallway has a sufficient area, then you need to use this unique opportunity.In spacious rooms, not only storage for outerwear, shoes and accessories can be located, but also additional racks for various purposes, based on your needs and preferences.

The limited space and lack of windows tells us that without a large number of lamps, as well as their proper location in the modern entrance hall, you just can not do. Before leaving home, each person needs to carefully consider their image. Thus, a single small chandelier or wall lamp may not be enough.

Install several ceiling light sources, or place a couple of candelabra right at the mirrors. Thanks to such actions, you will visually increase the size of the space, and if, in addition, you install large mirrors, then you will increase the effect, since the light will be additionally reflected.

Based on the fact that the entrance hall is a small room with a large functional load, there is not so much room for decorative maneuvers. In many cases, it is best to limit yourself to beautiful plants, frames, original textures and patterns on a carpet, chair or bench. An interesting technique is to paste a wall with an application in the form of a tree, and then place the hooks for things in such a way as if they hang from the branches of an imaginary plant.

Only a few apartment owners can be congratulated on the spacious entrance hall, which also has the correct shape. As a rule, the corridor is a very small space, limited by the doors of the adjoining rooms. At the same time, this room is the first place where anyone enters, it creates the first impression of the atmosphere of the entire housing and its inhabitants. That is why the considered part of the house deserves a decent arrangement.

By systematizing all the aspects that were considered in the previous sections, we can distinguish the following solutions for designing a small hallway:

- Light and light surface finish;
- In the situation, the predominance of minimalist trends is desirable;
- Use of embedded storage systems;
- The use of glossy and mirror surfaces instead of matte;
- For a number of cases, the best solution would be to place a minimum set of hooks for outerwear and a small shoe shelf. In other circumstances, the closet should be moved to other living rooms to clear an already tiny corridor.

We invite you to get acquainted with the real projects of the halls, embodied for spaces of various sizes. In their decoration, the latest trends in the field of interior design of 2018 were taken into account. We are confident that elegant and practical solutions will inspire you to your own design feats!
