Features and methods of painting walls in the corridor

The main question that arises during the repair of an apartment or house is what color to choose. Difficulties arise when the room is small. Even harder when it comes to the corridor. The walls in this room become polluted faster than in others, therefore, the choice of the color of the walls, as well as the material for them, must be taken seriously.

First you need to figure out what shape the hallway is, determine the colors and their tone, then proceed to the time for repair, as well as prepare the materials.

The walls in the corridor are subject to rapid wear and tear, so to smooth the walls and prepare them for painting, first remove the old materials (wallpaper), then putty, and then the surface is primed. Without these steps, all the flaws and irregularities will be visible under the paint. Putty and primer help distribute evenly paint on the surface of the walls.

The choice of paint for the hallway is a rather complicated task. It is necessary to choose an option that will be budgetary, easy to wash, resistant to wear, elastic, as well as moisture resistant and safe. For this, it is better to choose enamel, glaze, as well as two-component and water-dispersion paint, the basis of which is acrylic or latex. Actively use and acrylic styrene paint. Better to pick from the series "for the interior."

To create a cozy interior in the hallway, a number of rules must be observed when painting walls. If the ceilings are high and the room is small, it turns out uncomfortable.This situation can be fixed with painting the ceiling and the top of the wall in one color. A baguette of a contrasting color is attached to the wall, thereby separating the boundaries of the upper part of the wall from the bottom.

A narrow and tall entrance hall will look harmonious if the wall where the door is located is painted with a rich contrasting dark color. This will allow the room to be larger visually.

Problem: low ceiling. In this case it is necessary that the color of the walls end at the junction with the ceiling. Borders of color can be separated by a contrasting border or strip. It is better to paint the ceiling with glossy paint so that it reflects the light.

For low ceilings, furniture must be chosen with a lacquered surface, as well as large mirrors built in. On the walls you can make vertical and horizontal lines. Vertical lines will decrease the volume of the room, and horizontal lines will increase. It must be remembered that the stripes will look harmonious if their width is correctly selected, as well as the brightness of the color.

It is undesirable to overload the room with bright color motifs, but the photo wallpaper on one of the walls with a picture of space will look very attractive and harmonious. You can draw the picture on the wall yourself. A high-quality fresco will decorate the entrance to a house or apartment, most importantly, it will give individuality to a family nest.

When choosing a color for the hallway, you must remember that the dark and juicy tone of the room will visually reduce it, while light and soft, on the contrary, will make it larger. Therefore, it is better to choose light shades for small corridors, and a dark and sharp shade is allowed for large corridors.

The saturated colors of red and yellow are considered too bright for the eyes, convex in comparison with pastel tones. All shades of beige, light green, blue will make the room spacious. Projects with such colors for small apartments are popular with designers.

If the entrance hall has natural light and the windows are located on the north side, then we give preference to “warm” shades. These include yellow, red, beige, chocolate. The "cold" shades include blue. Many people like green, it can be both warm and cold. It all depends on the amount of white, yellow and blue.

When we use stencils on the walls, we take into account the above rules. In this way, large drawings will compress the space, and thin, with little ease, on the contrary, expand. If you design a large drawing with a bright range of colors on the ceiling, then it will help to increase the room. There is a win-win option, which is that the color of the paint for the walls and floor will match.

In this case, the rule works: to exclude the pastel color of the paint for the entire room, exclude juicy shades. After repairing the wall, it is necessary to protect it so that the paint grabs well. When the paint dries, it is not recommended to clean it with abrasive substances, just use a warm solution of a neutral agent.

The corridor is best designed last, when all rooms have already been renovated, the appropriate style is chosen. The design in the hallway will only complement the general direction, but at the same time emphasize the individuality of the apartment or house.
