Design features of the corridor and hallway in the style of minimalism

Style features

Minimalism is close to those who love orderliness, are not inclined to accumulation and appreciate the free space in the house. This style is characteristic of:

• Laconicism in decoration, lack of pronounced textures and prints.
• A minimum of furniture and decorative elements.
• A lot of light and, if possible, space.

Color spectrum

The interior of the hallway in the style of minimalism is an ideal choice for small apartments. It is important that the room in which several people gather is not only comfortable, but also appears wider and brighter. To achieve this effect, it is worth using neutral tones that emphasize the simplicity of the environment.

The white entrance hall with contrasting details of black and brown colors looks very stylish. The corridor in the style of minimalism, decorated in beige and wood tones, looks calm and more traditional.

Gray color never goes out of fashion, so a stylish hallway in smoky shades will not lose its relevance even after a few years.

Minimalist examples

The place that serves as a portal between the street and the house is not easy to keep clean, so the minimalist decoration has smooth surfaces that are easy to point out.

Smooth walls of the hallway are painted with paint intended for wet cleaning, so that they can easily be put in order in case of pollution.

Also used are wallpapers without drawings and with a weakly pronounced texture. It is necessary to glue them as carefully as possible, butt to butt, otherwise one curved seam can spoil the impression of the whole interior. In a minimalistic hallway any flaws are clearly visible.

The canopy in the hallway is simple: the multi-level structures, massive beams and stucco molding are alien to minimalism. The ideal option is whitewashing, or a stretch ceiling that does not attract attention.

The floor covering is chosen wear-resistant: ceramic tile without patterns, high-quality linoleum and laminate. The floor is suitable for both light and dark, but the functionality in the hallway is in the foreground, so brown shades are preferable: scratches and dirt are less noticeable on them.

Cabinets and other furniture

Usually a lot of things are stored in the hallway, especially if the house does not have a dressing room or pantry. But when the apartment has a special place for storing outerwear, everything is simpler: a small wall hanger or rack and a closed shoe rack are enough. The philosophy of minimalism with such furnishings will be supported without difficulty.

But what do owners of small apartments do? The best solution is a built-in wardrobe to the ceiling. He will "eat" a part of the square, but he will allow to hide everything superfluous, and the small entrance hall will turn into a neat and stylish room. Furniture in the style of minimalism has simple shapes and creates clear geometric lines.

To “hide” a bulky closet in the hallway, it’s enough to use the magic of mirrors: the door facades, reflecting the surroundings, will reliably hide everything superfluous from the eyes. The only drawback is that mirror surfaces will have to be kept in perfect cleanliness.

A special bench can be replaced with an ottoman with a lid, in which you can also store things.

Owners of large halls can put a console on thin legs or a chest of drawers, hang a small shelf.

Lighting and decor

An important role in the hallway is lighting. Minimalism is characterized by space, and it is light that allows this sensation to be achieved in a modest area. Instead of a single chandelier, it is better to use several point or pendant lights. Also, do not forget about the cabinet lighting.

Minimalism in the hallway does not mean emptiness and lack of taste - the decor here is also appropriate, but limited. Usually these are functional items: useful housekeepers, as well as rugs to collect dirt. To slightly enliven the interior, home plants, paintings and photographs on the walls are used, but in small quantities.

Modern ideas in the interior

The hallway in the style of minimalism is simple and concise, but thanks to interesting design techniques, the atmosphere can be diversified, departing from strict canons and without violating the philosophy of style.

As you can see, modern minimalism is more about lifestyle - the rejection of the superfluous in favor of sufficient and the absence of visual noise. Functionality does not suffer.

Many believe that minimalism is boring and too simple, but even an ordinary hallway in this style can look elegant and original.
