General rules of finishing
Halls in urban apartments have a modest footage, not equipped with windows, go into a common corridor. The decor of the room includes cupboard or a hanger for seasonal clothes, a mirror, a dresser or a shelf for storing keys. Owners of spacious apartments or country houses complement the corridor’s furnishings with banquettes, chairs or sofas.
The option of finishing the walls in the hallway

A simple option - finishing the room to match the whole apartmentsIt is recommended to choose shades a little lighter in order to visually expand the space. Neutral Tones:
- beige;
- sand;
- Gray;
- aquamarine.
Combined with different styles of decoration and a large number of accessories.
Bright contrasting ornaments, floral or ethnic motifs in the decoration will suit the owners of spacious apartments. Such wallpaper suggest a moderate decoration of the room with mirrors or paintings.
Use bright elements in the hallway
Traditional beige or creamy range is suitable for any apartment. Shades give visual "warmth" to the interior, smooth out the low level of illumination in the room.
Traditional beige or cream gamma
Cold tones combined with an abundance of mirrors require the installation of additional fixtures, the interior as a whole looks more "airy".
In cold tones
Unusual interior colors create an eclectic, hi-tech or loft interior. Bright room in red, orange, turquoise shades attracts attention, it becomes the accent of the whole apartment.
Unusual finish colors
The color scheme of the wallpaper should be combined with a hint of door panels that are placed in the hallway.
- Most doors are designed “under the tree”, so the walls in a brown, beige or sandy shade will make a harmonious ensemble with paintings.
- Owners of transparent or frosted glass doors are free to choose colors.
- An entrance hall in an apartment without door panels installed (for example, in a studio) should be finished in the same shade as the rest of the premises.
The choice of texture
Smooth wallpaper texture, plasterwood tiles or paint does not attract too much attention to the walls. The expressiveness of the interior gives a bright shade to the walls, additional decor, large accessories.
Smooth texture of wallpaper, plaster, wood
The pronounced volumetric texture is characteristic of decorative plaster, wood panels, drywall or plastic. It is chosen as an accent, while the rest of the finish should be discreet.
For example, if the doorways in the apartment are finished in the form of round arches (without door panels), the pronounced texture will emphasize the boundaries of the room. It is recommended that owners of traditional hallways with an abundance of doors choose volumetric texture and light monochromatic finishes.

Combination of materials
The overall style of the decoration depends on the area of the hallway, the level of its illumination.
The owners of the standard mini-corridors, in which the entrances to all rooms of the apartment are placed, decorate the walls with a combination of two materials. Usually it is plain wallpaper and wide wooden plinth of light shades, which are in harmony in color and size with ceiling fillets.
Combination of several materials
Apartments with spacious halls that pass into the corridor can be made out of several materials.. For example, the combination of wooden panels in the lower half of the walls and wallpaper - at the top, creates a room in retro style. Hallways in country houses for large families make durable artificial stone and plaster.
