Very often in apartments you can see narrow and long corridors, forced by furniture, which does not look at all in this room and seems too cumbersome. But the inhabitants of such apartments also want to benefit from space: so that the door stands with a cabinet for shoes, and there could be one next to hang outerwear. In addition, it is the corridor first of all sees any one that enters the apartment, so the owners have to think not only about the functional part, but also about the beauty of this small room.
As you should choose furniture for a narrow corridor?
The best option for visual expansion of space is a mirror. A good solution would be dressing systems or a closet with mirror doors, especially since the mirror itself is also not an excess element in the hallway. In addition, when buying furniture, pay attention to the method of opening doors. It is better if it is a wardrobe so that the open door does not burn out the entire corridor across. Of course, the depth of the cabinet plays a large role, you should not choose models of more than thirty or forty centimeters. Otherwise, two people will not be able to disperse.
If the corridor is so small that its owners cannot allow you to install a cabinet, then a set of several furniture items is also suitable. This is usually a shoe cabinet that will also become a shelf for keys or a phone, a separate hanger in the form of a board with hooks for outerwear, as well as a large mirror in the frame. It is better to hang a mirror opposite the room, this will help to enhance the effect of expanding the space. It is better to place shelves in a narrow hallway higher.
Perfect for a small room of a folding stool. By shining, you can easily use it, and when there is no need for it, bring it back to a vertical position. But there is one minus: this type of furniture is rarely found in stores, it will have to make this design to order.
The standard corridor rarely has windows, so the colors of furniture and wallpaper should help to make it lighter. Do not get dark furniture or save on lighting for practicality. The chandelier in the center of the ceiling will complement small sconces along the walls, do not forget about a separate lamp above the mirror.
Before purchasing new furniture, designers advise using a simple technique. On a sheet of paper, portray your corridor on a reduced scale, and then arrange all the items in it. This will help to imagine what the new interior of the hallway will be.
Following such simple tips will help to make more comfortable and more spacious any small room.
