Wall murals in the hallway

The first thing we see when entering the house is the entrance hall, and the general impression of the owners depends on how it is decorated. It is very important to choose the right finishing materials, including wallpaper. Photo wallpapers have become very popular, the choice of which is quite large in the modern market.

Of course, there are many options for decorating the walls in the hallway, but it is not always possible to find a good option that will suit the price, quality, and at the same time will be something new. Therefore, it is worthwhile to study the rules for choosing photowall-paper before proceeding with their purchase.

Due to the fact that photowall-paper is in great demand, today you can find a lot of decent options in various hardware stores. There are companies that are engaged in the production of custom-made wallpaper, which greatly simplifies the task. All types of wall coverings differ not only in design, but also in texture characteristics, dimensions and shapes. They can be smooth, rough, glossy, matte, with a vertical or horizontal pattern.

It is also important to note the growth of product quality among well-known manufacturers. And if before the wallpaper had a limited design, average quality and high cost, now these indicators have changed significantly for the better. Now, among the variety of models, you can find wallpapers with high resolution images that will look as natural as possible.

To find the right wallpaper for your interior, you need to rely on certain principles.

They will help make the hallway presentable and memorable:

• To visually increase the space of the corridor, you need to choose products with large images. As for the color scheme, it would be appropriate to use cold shades of blue, gray and lilac colors. But don't use these colors too much, otherwise you'll end up with a very dark place.

• To visually expand the hallway, you need to choose wallpaper with a horizontal image, and to visually raise the ceiling, vertical stripes are suitable. And if the space is very narrow, then you should not raise the ceilings at the expense of wallpaper - you will get a very compressed zone.

• You can use bright and variegated colors only in moderate doses as an additional element.

• Panoramic wallpaper on the entire wall is appropriate only when their overall tone is made in light bed shades. And if you need to complement the image, then you can resort to various decorative elements.

• For a corridor, it is best to choose canvases with a size of 100x270. And in order to glue the wallpaper on the arches, you need to use plain or small abstract patterns, for which you do not need a combination.

• If, in addition to the walls, the apartment owners want to paste over the doors adjacent to the corridor with photo wallpaper, then first you need to remove the locks and handles from them. This will help you get the perfect picture.

Another important tip for decorating a small hallway is to use large mirrors. Mirrors or any reflective surface can create the illusion of a large space.

A wide range of wall coverings allows you to find an option that is suitable in all respects, but there are coatings that look the most effective and original. Photowall-paper has a different design, so it is worth mentioning separately the volumetric and LED models.

3D wallpapers are necessary to create a three-dimensional room. Any image can be used as a drawing, be it flowers, trees, snowflakes, etc.

In an apartment with a small hallway, coatings that imitate rain drops will look original. The reality of the picture will fascinate the guests and residents of the house, from which there will be a desire to touch the drawn drops.

It is quite interesting to glue wallpaper with the image of a forest trail, which, in combination with spot lighting, will create the illusion of reality.

But it is worth remembering that wall murals with a three-dimensional image are quite expensive, and their installation requires an absolutely smooth wall. In addition, 3D wallpaper excludes the possibility of decorating the corridor walls with additional decorative elements.

As for the LED wallpaper, it is a whole system consisting of microprocesses, a control panel and LEDs. With the help of the remote control, residents, if desired, can turn on and off the backlight or change the illumination of the panel.

The advantage of LED photowall-paper is that with them even a not very bright hallway acquires the opportunity to become a lighted area. But their installation is quite difficult for a beginner, so you need to seek help from a specialist.

To decorate the corridor, you need to select wallpaper that has a beneficial effect on the emotional state of a person. You should not stop choosing options that have a complete color match with other interior elements. The main thing is that they look favorably against each other.

The following styles are best used in the hallway:

• Eco style embodies the harmony between man and nature. With its help, you can create a calm and lively interior that will emphasize the owners' love for nature and animals. For example, in this style, wallpaper with the image of a crocodile, a flower meadow, a clear sky will look interesting. The main thing is that they have light colors and natural motives.

• Classic it is distinguished by its severity and love for everything natural. Very often this style is chosen to visually increase ceilings. Therefore, it will be appropriate for him to use coatings with vertical stripes, the color of which will be several shades different from the main background.

• Modern means current trends. He welcomes irregular shapes and curved lines. To decorate the walls in the hallway in the Art Nouveau style, you can use different photowall-paper, united by any detail.

• Exotic uses the most unusual ideas to create a unique interior. It is characterized by images of outlandish animals and exotic paintings.

• Retro allows you to use many shades and designs. It is appropriate to use coatings with abstract patterns and bright colors in combination with light colors.

The corridor is the darkest room in the entire apartment, and therefore needs additional lighting. The lack of sunlight can be compensated for by using artificial light sources. At different angles of illumination, the picture on the wallpaper will look different. Therefore, before repairing the hallway, it is worth paying special attention to this issue and finding a compromise solution.

If tenants want to decorate the walls with bright details, then you need to know when it is possible. For example, if the wallpaper imitates natural stone or brick, then they can be supplemented with several small paintings or photographs. But at the same time, the color of the frame should be close to the color of the main tone of the walls.

Eco-style can be decorated with flower pots with indoor plants. Weaving flowers with a similar pattern on the wallpaper will look very extraordinary.But the use of these elements is possible only in a well-lit area and preferably in a rather long corridor.

Motley wall murals can be framed in frames of any suitable color. The main thing is that they complement the interior advantageously.

But for the hallway, which has a wall covering with the image of megalopolises, it is reasonable to use lamps or LED strips installed on the ceiling plinths.

Whatever the choice of wallpaper for the corridor, you need to remember that this part of the house is most susceptible to pollution. Therefore, you should opt for non-woven or vinyl materials. Paper wallpapers are too strongly exposed to external factors and do not tolerate moisture at all. In addition, they are of low strength.
