Wallpapers for a small hallway are great opportunities for interesting design decisions, games with light, color and shapes. A compact hallway with a narrow corridor will not seem cramped if you choose walls of light shades.

Rules for organizing a small space

Before embodying the idea of the most sophisticated and cozy hallway, you should pay attention to the general rules for organizing a small room:

Walls - base color of a light shade.
To increase the height of the walls are used wallpaper with vertical lines.
Horizontal stripes visually expand the space.
A small hallway should not be cluttered with furniture and accessories. Instead, it is appropriate to use one bright piece of furniture - a chair, a table, a lamp shade - combining it in color and shape with additional accessories.

Ways to expand the narrow room

Small compact hallways can look more spacious if you use techniques that visually enlarge the space.

Bright colors in the decoration of the room. Walls and ceilings of light shades bring “air” into a small room. The distance between the walls, as well as the ceiling and the floor seems larger.
Use in the decoration of certain types of drawings. Wallpapers with small patterns and vertical lines virtually expand the space.
The use of contrasting colors in the finish. Black-and-white hallways, as well as rooms, finished in a combination of black-white-red, can tune up in a completely new way and turn a small hall into a cozy and stylish room.
Glossy surface. Expansion of space can serve not only smooth surfaces of furniture and objects, but also wallpaper with a mirror effect, which can be attributed to the coating with a metallic sheen.

When choosing interior design options for a small hallway, as well as the “Khrushchev” hallway, it is worth refusing dark colors in the decoration. The version of dark wallpaper with large patterns will also be unsuccessful.

The white door in the design of the small hallway does not fit the wallpaper of deep, dark colors. The door in this case will look inappropriate light spot.

The door in bright colors can be combined with light elements in the interior - vertical stripes of wallpaper, a wall opposite the door, framing of rectangular interior objects, such as paintings or photo frames. Doors will not get lost on the background of light walls, if the coating will have a color one shade lighter than the tone of the doors.
