The hallway is always the area with the highest traffic load in any apartment, regardless of its size. And therefore, without exception finishing materials must be practical, reliable and easy to repair if necessary. This is especially important in houses where there are children (who love wall art) and cats who want to sharpen their claws on everything in the world.

Wall coverings in the hallway should be easy to clean, not easily soiled, and consistent with the overall design concept of the home. They simply must “endure” washing after regular contamination, moisture and mechanical stress. Therefore, materials that require delicate handling are inappropriate here.

We use different types of wallpaper

The only wallpaper that is not suitable for a hallway is paper. Their wear resistance will not be enough for this room. But there are several that perfectly meet the requirements of strength and aesthetics:

Decorative plaster

Decorative plaster is one of the most interesting coatings in the hallway. Thanks to it, you can create any incredible stylization, giving preference to imitations of textured natural stone, wooden walls damaged by bark beetle, bright smooth marble, and so on.

Wall decoration with light plaster to match the furniture

There are several standard patterns that are popular in decorating hallways:

• Venetian plaster imitating noble marble;
• relief and textured to create three-dimensional surfaces;
• fantasy flock;
• velours;
• wet silk;
• sandstone.

Light plaster goes well with dark elements: furniture, tiles, baseboards and doors

Surfaces differ not only in motifs, but also in type of structure - bark beetle, lamb beetle, fur coat (spray) and coloring are distinguished. You can vary the degree of expression of the pattern - depending on the size of the plaster grain chosen.

Options for using colored plaster in the hallway

Important. Among the main advantages of decorative plaster are the variability of designs, the ability of the coating to “breathe”, the complete absence of odor during application and also increased strength indicators. You can also use this material to create highly artistic paintings - such panels will transform any corridor.

Wall panels

Wall panels are considered a practical and durable finishing option. They are easy to install and do not require special care - a damp sponge in a soap solution will be enough for cleaning. There are several types wall panels, suitable for installation in the hallway, and for some of them the manufacturers provide a 15-year warranty.

Natural wood panels

However, it cannot be said that the designs of this material are varied. The most common colors are wood and marble imitations. These solutions are most often chosen for minimalist interiors, where it is important that the walls do not attract attention.

Panels made of artificial materials

There are two popular types of wall panels:

Finishing MDF panels bottom of the wall

Choosing artificial stone

It is called artificial stone modern material on a composite basis. Its surface perfectly imitates natural materials, including:

• granite;
• onyx;
• marble;
• sandstone;
• wild uncut stone;
• turquoise;
• malachite.

Gray decorative stone on the wall in the hallway

Sometimes the imitation is made so accurately that the products can only be distinguished by weight. Moreover, it is easier, which is a definite plus in the decoration of residential spaces.

The material is characterized not only by lightness, but also by strength, as well as environmental friendliness, because its main component is gypsum. But artificial stone is not cheap, moreover, its texture “eats up” space, and therefore it is rarely used for “overall” decoration, preferring to place point accents in this way. This can be either only the lower part of the wall, which is most susceptible to wear, or areas around doorways, arches or niches, corners or projections.

Decorative stone looks very beautiful

Among the main advantages decorative stone:

1. Increased moisture resistance. It is provided with a special top protective layer that does not allow moisture to penetrate into the gypsum structure.
2. Practical, easy to care for. To clean the surface, using a damp or dry rag will suffice.
3. High degree of wear resistance - protective layer protects the texture of the product from mechanical damage, so that even after cleaning it will not lose its decorative properties.
4. Long service life - if you can provide coverage proper care, it will serve you for at least 10 years.
5. Ease of installation.
6. Geometric stability during sudden temperature changes.
7. Fire resistance even when exposed to direct flame.

Entrance hall, corridor and vestibule are classified as auxiliary premises. In terms of area, they are usually the smallest in a house or apartment.
And in most cases, they do not have natural light. This is what we need to proceed from when considering options for decorating the corridor, contrary to popular belief that its interior must certainly be combined with the rooms.
We will talk to you about how and with what to decorate the corridor in the apartment, and what color solutions will be advantageous in one situation or another.

Before the start finishing works, you must know exactly what the ceiling will be like in the hallway, and what materials will be used for wall decoration, consider possible finishing ideas. The required degree of surface preparation, that is, rough finishing, depends on this.
And you can decide on the choice of color after it’s finished.
So:

• Cleaning the surface of the ceiling and walls from old decorative coating and old plaster, if it does not hold well, it must be done anyway. But leveling may not be necessary if you do suspended ceiling, or cover the walls with panels.
• These types of finishes require a frame made of metal profile or wooden sheathing. Wall covering with plastic panels is budget option finishing that you can do yourself.
  Step by step instructions, found on the Internet, will help those who first decided to do this work.
• If the hallway in your apartment is cramped or there is narrow corridor, frame cladding It’s better not to make walls. The sheathing significantly reduces the volume of an already small room.
• Most types of wall finishing require that their surface be carefully leveled. Not everyone can plaster them on their own, even if they watch the video.
  And the final result directly depends on this stage of work.

We will not dwell in detail on the process of leveling the walls. Let's just say that having properly plastered walls, further finishing will go like clockwork.
We will figure out what can be used to decorate the walls in the corridor, and how to combine the materials of the walls and ceiling into a harmonious interior.

Choosing what to finish

There are many finishing materials: manufacturers offer both completely new developments and long-used ones, but with improved design and performance characteristics.
When deciding how to decorate the walls in the corridor, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. You can simply paint them, but you need to do it correctly.

Wall painting and decorative plaster

The most economical type of paints are water-dispersion paints, which combine several subtypes. Acrylic and latex options.
Their price is slightly higher than that of PVA-based paint, but the quality and service life are quite consistent with this price. They have a wide range of colors, making it possible to obtain a decorative surface of any color and degree of gloss.
So:

• Not so long ago on domestic construction markets decorative paints appeared. Thanks to these paints, you can create an imitation of any material or simply a beautiful design effect on the wall surface.
• The painted surface can look like velvet or silk, be cast in gold or silver, be mother-of-pearl or bronze. There are also paints that change color depending on the angle of light, the so-called “chameleons”.

• Various mineral and polymer additives give the paint the desired effect. Decorative paints have other advantages: ease of application, quick drying, lack of strong odor, high abrasion resistance of the painted surface.
• Apply them to a wall lined with regular gypsum plaster. And in order to achieve the intended relief, when working with decorative paint, they use various techniques, tools and brushes of different calibers.

• By the way, you can paint not only a plastered surface, but also a wooden one. Look at the photo above - the walls of the corridor lined with clapboard are painted with decorative paint.
  As a result of this finishing, the surface of the wood looks like velvet - it looks incredibly beautiful.
• It is also important that decorative paints do not use components harmful to human health: cadmium, zinc, mercury, phenols. Therefore, they can be used in any room, even in a child’s room.
• Even if you don't use decorative paint, which is not cheap at all, and the usual matte one - you can decorate the interior in other ways.
• In our example, the walls are painted chocolate. And why not, if it gets into the corridor daylight from the window of the adjacent room?
  But in such a design you cannot do without contrast. The finishing touch to the interior of this corridor is a contrasting pattern on the wall, made with white paint.

• Floor skirting boards, moldings and arched doorway, painted with glossy white paint also provide a contrast. It is very convenient to use these elements made of polyurethane foam.
  You don’t even need to paint it - polyurethane has a snow-white color.
• Polyurethane trims and moldings are very flexible, which allows them to be given any configuration. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about thinking for a long time about the question of how to decorate the openings and arched passages. Of course polyurethane!

• You can create contrast and make an accent in another way: make only one wall dark, and paint the rest with light paint.
  This technique allows you to visually expand the room. And it doesn’t even matter what kind of wall finishing material you used. What matters here is what color scheme is chosen.
• When it comes to narrow rooms, without natural light, the main question that needs to be resolved is: how to decorate the ceiling in the hallway. Or rather, how to make the ceiling seem higher and the hallway appear lighter.
• The best option, in this case, would be a suspended ceiling structure with full or partial glazing. Lamps located in the interior of the ceiling, rather than hanging overhead, will solve the lighting problem.
• In our next example, the narrow corridor is finished exactly as we described above. Walls different colors as if they are expanding the space, and the matte glass ceiling makes it more voluminous.

• When you have to re-plaster walls during renovation or perform initial screeding in a new house, to get a beautiful surface, you can use not paint, but decorative plaster.
• This can be the so-called “liquid wallpaper”, which is soft decorative plaster. You can finish the walls with another solution - microcement plaster.
  In terms of composition and final result, it is very similar to decorative paint - it also contains additives from minerals and polymers.

• Those who have certain financial capabilities can use Venetian plaster. Unlike the microcement composition, it uses more expensive and natural fillers: marble, granite or quartz flour.
  Multi-layer application of such plaster creates magnificent structures and patterns that even the master who performs them cannot repeat twice.

Any decorative plaster goes well with other types of finishing materials. For example - with natural or decorative stone.
They can be finished doorways, arches or simply executed decorative panel. Continuous finishing of walls with stone is not carried out - well, unless it will be only one wall.

Wallpaper in the hallway interior

Today you won’t surprise anyone with wallpaper, but with their help you can create a wonderful interior without spending too much money. The most ordinary and inexpensive wallpaper with a contrasting pattern will make the corridor quite cozy.
Well, if you are thinking about a competent hallway interior design using wallpaper, we will try to give you a few ideas.

So:

• The best option for decorating a hallway or corridor is striped wallpaper. The fact is that with the help of such a drawing you can correct the visual perception of the height and even length of the room.
  The stripe is most often combined with geometric patterns applied to other interior elements: mirrors, decorative panels, furniture.

• Before you decorate the walls in the hallway with striped wallpaper, you need to think about how to place them on the wall. To make the room seem longer, the right wall can be pasted over in a different way than we are used to - in height.
• Sheets of wallpaper can be glued horizontally so that the strips outline the walls along the perimeter. This effect can be achieved using other finishing materials.

• This can be covering a short wall with clapboard or laminate panels. The location of the panels should also be horizontal.
  It makes no sense to decorate the walls beautifully on the side where the furniture is. Therefore, you can focus on only one wall, and finish the rest in the same color as the ceiling.

• IN design options finishing the corridor in classic style, combinations of striped wallpaper with wood panels are often found. This interior looks strict, aristocratic and respectable.
  To prevent the corridor from looking like an office in an office, the wooden panels are painted in light colors: milky, beige, sand.
• Without the use of wallpaper, it is impossible to imagine decorating a room in one of the most popular styles - Provence. Distinctive feature This style is characterized by a warm environment in light shades, reminiscent of flowering meadows and endless open spaces.
• In Provence style, almost always, on walls, lampshades and home textiles are used flower arrangements. What other finishing material, besides wallpaper, can provide such an interior?
  The variety of flower colors allows you to create custom design and make the room original and homely.

• Modern wallpapers come in a wide variety of qualities. If you look at the pasted surface, you won’t always understand what kind of material was used for finishing.
  There are wallpapers that look like silk or velvet, embossed, embossed. There are options with stone, wood, and bamboo veneer applied to their surface.

• These wallpapers look best in combination with other types of finishes. Here is another example when the emphasis is on one wall.
  It is covered with embossed velvet wallpaper, and the other walls are simply painted in the same color scheme.

So you can’t discount wallpaper, no matter what new finishing materials appear on sale. We think that the examples we have given have convinced you of this.
We hope that a little of your imagination, and the information that you gleaned from this article, will certainly help you choose correct option finishing the hallway in your home.

The wall covering in the hallway should not only be beautiful, but also practical. In order for the decoration of the walls in the hallway to be of high quality and tasteful, you should view photos with options and choose light material easy to care for, wear-resistant and not easily soiled. It is advisable to choose a wall color that is not very dark, because natural light absent. It is better to select materials that can be cleaned at any time.

Wall panels made of plastic or MDF

There is an opinion that materials such as wall panels are most often used in offices. But this is a big misconception. After all, there are many models on the market with different colors and textures. Well-chosen panels, which can be seen in the photo, will look beautiful in the hallway and can create a special atmosphere in the room.

The panels are made of wood, MDF or plastic. The most common option is plastic. It washes well, has good resistance to moisture and sun rays. The nice thing is that it is reasonably priced. The only negative is this artificial materials not recommended for residential use. You can replace the plastic natural material– MDF, which is compressed wood chips.

Tip: The use of MDF wall panels in the interior will provide good insulation of noise into the room, and special impregnation will protect against moisture.

Design with wooden panels is a more noble and reliable option than MDF. This type plays the role of finishing decor. Although it is far from the most budget-friendly. Installation of the wall panel is carried out by attaching it to metal lathing with self-tapping screws (for dry rooms) or gluing directly to the wall (for more humid rooms). If you follow the technology for working with such material, installation is quite simple.

Laminate

As mentioned above, wood gives a presentable appearance to the room. Replacement wall panels made of wood, the walls will be covered with laminate in the apartment, which will be a cheaper option, but no less chic.

The main advantages of this laminate coating are:

• environmental friendliness;
• color and texture of laminate for every taste;
• ease of installation;
• gorgeous view;
• price.

Walls covered with laminate are quite durable if the room is dry. Finishing materials such as laminate coating can be used for walls in the corridor only when there is no high air humidity. Otherwise, the finish may become deformed.

A good replacement for laminate can be the use of HPL panels (or compact laminate). Laminate flooring in the hallway is not afraid of moisture and can withstand large temperature changes. Due to the special production technology of these panels, which uses high temperature and pressure on the material, the structure does not delaminate during operation. In addition, the surface of the panels is protected by a special coating, which ensures resistance to fading.

3D panels

The use of 3D panels will help give the room originality. They are made of gypsum and are used in rooms where space allows for their installation. The texture of gypsum panels is a wave or stream of air.

By using 3D panels you can decorate small area walls: around a door or mirror. They are quite easy to install using special glue. The only thing you need to consider if the entire wall is covered is to carefully select the pattern.

Upon completion of work ready material coated with paint in accordance with the interior design. Please note that before painting, a deep penetration primer is applied to the panel. Any paint is suitable: water-based, acrylic, latex or textured.

Paint or wallpaper

The most budget and simple option is to paint the walls. This is also a fairly simple method. But only when the walls in the corridor are perfectly smooth. Most often, before applying paint, the surface must be carefully leveled using starting and finishing putty. The advantage of this coating is that it is easy to maintain - the walls are easily washed off dirt. You should choose moisture-resistant paint (preferably enamel). But this coating option will look quite simple in the interior.

But with the help of wallpaper you can create interesting design: cover one wall in one color, and the other three in another. Can be saved color scheme, but at the same time choose wallpaper with a pattern on one of the walls, and plain wallpaper for the rest. Here you can fantasize as you please, but the main thing to remember is to take into account the combination of shades in the interior. It is also desirable that the color of the walls matches the rest of the interior.

Tip: If you choose vinyl wallpaper with a non-woven backing, it will be easy to clean and will last quite a long time. When compared with paint, we can safely say that wallpaper will look much better in the interior due to the variety of patterns. In addition, due to their thick layer, they will hide minor defects in the walls, which a layer of paint will not do.

Tile

One of the old and proven methods of wall decoration is the use of ceramic tiles. It has a wide range in its structure and parameters.

The tile is used due to its:

• strength;
• durability;
• moisture resistance;
• practicality;
• frost resistance;
• affordable price.

The high service life of the tiles allows you to not think about repairs for decades. Moisture resistance and frost resistance allow it to be used in rooms with high humidity and temperature changes. Practicality is determined by the fact that it can be easily washed from any type of contamination: splashes from dirty shoes or drops from rain.

Decorative plaster

Decorative plaster is perhaps the most interesting of all. Thanks to its variety of textural, imitation and color properties, it will give the room an amazing effect. You can see in the photo possible options relief pattern or marbled effect.

Decorative plaster has the following qualities:

• easy to clean;
• environmentally friendly material;
• sufficiently durable coating;
• can create unusual design in any style.

One of the varieties of decorative plaster is microcement. This material adheres to almost any surface: concrete, metal, wood, ceramics. Microcement can create matte or glossy, smooth or rough textures. In addition, it makes the color natural, which makes it stand out from other types of coatings. Compared to traditional decorative plasters, microcement is much cheaper and easier to use.

Decorative stone

The use of artificial decorative stone is quite expensive. Therefore, it is mainly applied not to the entire wall, but to its lower part or around the door. Options for using such material in an apartment can be viewed in the photo.

By appearance he reminds natural stones: granite, marble or others. This material mainly consists of gypsum. Has the following advantages:

• strength;
• ease of use;
• environmentally friendly;
• gives an unusual design to the room;
• easy to clean and does not require special care.

By using decorative stone at the bottom of the wall, you can protect the most dangerous areas of the corridor from damage. But the only drawback of this wall covering is its high cost.

Frescoes

The use of frescoes in it will add a real highlight to the interior. In other words, a fresco is an artistic architectural painting. They can be on plaster, on a non-woven base or synthetic canvases, to which inclusions of plaster are added. Frescoes are often created with an antique effect, which is characterized by a cracked pattern or inclusions of marble chips.

In any case, the use of fresco will emphasize the impeccable taste of the owners. For any hallway design style, you can choose the desired fresco, which can be seen in the photo. Main qualities of frescoes:

• environmental friendliness;
• exclusivity;
• durability;
• high quality.

The only drawback is the high cost and complexity of implementation. To make a fresco, the master must have a prepared canvas onto which he applies a textured base. Then the image is applied and varnished. Making such a fresco on your own is quite difficult. But you can easily install it yourself: cover the wall with primer and glue the frescoes special glue. This design will allow every guest to plunge into an atmosphere of sophistication.

Where to choose

What covering to choose for the hallway is everyone’s business. After all, for this, cost, ease of installation and maintenance, strength of the material and its exclusivity are taken into account. When choosing a paint coating, you can significantly save money and make your maintenance work easier, but at the same time it will look quite simple on the walls. Designing with stone or using a fresco in the interior will add unusualness, but the cost will be quite high for such finishing materials. Vinyl wallpapers are quite affordable in pricing and with a variety of textured patterns. But their strength is not as high as, for example, laminate flooring or MDF wall panels. The latter, in turn, are quite easy to care for, but are afraid of moisture.

As you can see, each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. For the right choice You should take into account the climate of your apartment, financial capabilities and personal preferences. In addition, you need to take into account the color of the coating, which should not be very dark, but at the same time non-staining.

The hallway is the first room of an apartment or house that one enters when returning from the street. From there, dust, dirt, and drops of moisture are carried onto clothes and shoes. All this settles indoors. Pets also contribute their share, so the decoration of the walls in the hallway, in addition to beautiful view must have high practicality. To renovate a corridor, decorative plaster, paint, wallpaper, and wood panels are most often used. various materials, and for the floor - porcelain stoneware. Moreover, each coating is installed using a specific technology. It’s good when the lobby is designed in the general interior style of the home. Quite rarely there is natural light in the room, which is also taken into account when choosing finishing materials. Its harmonious design with artificial light is shown in the photo below.

The corridor and hallway are often identical spaces. This is especially true for small apartments.

The corridor is characterized high level permeability, as for the kitchen and bathroom. This is the guideline by which the coating option should be selected. Before finishing the walls in the hallway, it is necessary to take into account that the material must meet the following requirements:

• sufficient degree of wear resistance;
• affordability;
• in the presence of architectural elements complex shape(for example arches or niches) the use of paint is most in a simple way their decoration.

Fabric and paper webs are less suitable options, because they are inferior in their characteristics to the types listed above.

Linkrust is also classified as wallpaper. It is a material with good practical properties, containing three-dimensional drawing. When glued to the wall, it becomes even stronger over time.

It is believed that it is better to use liquid wallpaper in new buildings, because they will not crack if the house shrinks.

Wallpaper is used to cover either the entire room or individual sections of it. The latter helps to focus attention on individual elements interior It is possible to apply wallpaper yourself with minimal skills in handling the material. However, certain varieties require special skills and therefore require the involvement of a specialist.

The affordability of panels, a variety of colors and textures contributes to the spread this method finishing. The covering of such finishing materials for the walls of the corridor can be installed with your own hands without the involvement of specialists.

Stone in the interior of the corridor

The design of the walls in the hallway, created using artificial stone, is an expensive design method. It is made from gypsum. Modern products imitate granite, marble, onyx and many other varieties of natural stones.

The artificial substitute is almost identical to the natural material. It is characterized by:

• significant strength and wear resistance;
• resistance to water and its vapors;
• environmental cleanliness;

In terms of its properties, it corresponds to artificial stone with its advantages and disadvantages. The only difference is the high degree of plasticity, which allows finishing areas of complex shapes.
