Immediately after the entrance - the interior of the hallway

The hallway is an important room in any home. Despite the fact that we spend a minimum amount of time here, it is the hallway that is quite capable of influencing our mood upon returning home or, on the contrary, when leaving the house. How do you want to spend this time? See your reflection in a huge beautiful mirror or frantically search for keys in the lockers? The decision is yours, because the arrangement of the hallway needs to be thought through to the smallest detail.

Something you can't do without

Usually the hallway is a very small room. That's why I subconsciously want to release it so much, clear the space and remove all the furnishings as much as possible. But when the hallway becomes clean and free of all kinds of furniture and small things, problems will begin. In any case, you will have to look for where to put your gloves and hat when you come home, where to hang your bag, umbrella and keys. And, of course, it is necessary to organize a space for storing shoes and outerwear. What else is often placed in the hallway? Yes, anything you want: a dog leash, slippers, a mobile and landline phone and much,much more.

Just imagine that you don't have a special place to store and store these small but important items. What will your hallway turn into? That's right, chaos will reign here. So all the designer's ideas will be buried in a pile of junk and small things that will accumulate in the hallway anyway.

Thus, the following items are absolutely necessary in the hallway.

1. The console, at least a small one. It can also be just a shelf or a small table. It is very convenient when there is a box in the design of this object.

2. Wardrobe for clothes. If there is no place for a full-fledged wardrobe or mirrored wardrobe, hang at least a hanger. Do not forget to provide hooks for backpacks and bags on it.

3. Galoshnitsa or shoe stand. Numerous shoes, boots, boots and slippers, piled in one pile – not the best decoration of the hallway.

A housekeeper attached to the wall, stands for umbrellas and newspapers are also very convenient. An ottoman or a small high chair will not only add style and comfort to your hallway, but also allow you to comfortably put on your shoes and take off your shoes.

A mirror is one of the mandatory attributes of the hallway. After all, before leaving the house, I so want to check my appearance again. The ideal option is a large full-length mirror, although some prefer to do with a small one, in which only your face will be visible. You can combine "pleasant with useful" by ordering a wardrobe with mirrored doors. But if you are striving for originality, know that this option is the most popular and even considered hackneyed.

Let's look at our feet

In the arrangement of the hallway, a large role is played by the floor covering. In this room, the floors can withstand the most load, if compared with other rooms in the apartment. Outdoor shoes with hard and dirty soles, sand and earth, puddles from rain and snow-all these influences are exposed to the floor covering in the hallway.

You can not put parquet in this room, because it requires careful attitude and careful care. Even with a great desire and a great desire to maintain parquet floors in the hallway in the proper form, you will not succeed. And the parquet also absorbs moisture, which affects not only its appearance, but also its condition.

The best option for flooring in the hallway is ceramic tiles. It has undeniable advantages, as it is resistant to aggressive influences, easy to clean and unpretentious in care. The tile will retain its attractive appearance for a long time, even with intensive use. Many people do not like the tile, because it is cold. It can be argued that it is extremely rare to walk barefoot in the hallway, so this drawback is not noticeable here. And for those who still like heat, you can offer the installation of a "Underfloor heating" system.
