There should be no imperfections in the interior of your home: it is important to take care of every room, including the hallway and corridor. Great importance These rooms are decorated with wallpaper. Being one of the key design elements, they make the walls well-groomed and tidy. The choice of wallpaper for the hallway and corridor is subject to a number of features. Before purchasing, you should study the types, fashionable shades, colors, pattern combinations, textures and other nuances.

Materials

Wallpaper is a wall and ceiling finishing material of various types. This finishing is internal. Wallpaper is sold mainly in the form of roll products, although, thanks to modern production technologies, another type of material, packaged in bags, is also offered to buyers.

It is the type of wallpaper that is the factor that determines the method of pasting the surface of the walls: they are glued in the form of cuts of the required length or spread with a spatula.

Various raw materials are used in production, which determines the quality and performance characteristics each type of wallpaper.

The most common materials are paper, textiles and vinyl. Today, this cladding is much more interesting than Soviet-era products: modern manufacturing companies offer a wide range of products, which are often the accent of the premises.

If previously it was believed that wallpaper for the hallway and corridor was not of particular importance, today the opinion has radically changed: such cladding helps determine the status of the owners of the house, it indicates their taste preferences and determines aesthetic perception.

Varieties

The choice of material is based on knowledge of the varieties. There are many of them, however, not all raw materials are suitable for the hallway or narrow corridor. And it’s not a matter of color at all: texture and pattern are not suitable, which either reduce the space of already small rooms, or are too luminous, or create a feeling of heaviness. In addition, some varieties are not suitable in style.

The most popular types of finishing, which are appropriate in almost every style of interior composition, are wallpaper: paper, vinyl, non-woven, textile, paintable, liquid, glass wallpaper, natural, 3D.

Rolled products come in different widths, which is very convenient and allows you to cover the walls as neatly as possible, without bubbles or folds.

• Paper wallpaper– budget canvases with a paper base and a pattern or photo printing applied to it. They differ in thickness, can be very thin and are divided into two categories: simplex (single-layer) and duplex (double-layer). The first of them are simpler, cheaper and more difficult to glue, the second can last on the walls for more than 5 years without requiring gluing. These canvases are afraid of moisture, so when in contact with water they can move away from the walls.
• Vinyl analogues differ in their porous surface structure. Unlike paper sheets They consist of two layers: a vinyl top and a non-woven backing. Some products have a paper base. This finish is expensive, although it does not justify its price, since after some time it releases formaldehyde vapors into the air. Prominent representatives of this variety are wallpaper with silk-screen printing - smooth, hard and foamed canvases, the colors of which are embossed, making the canvases look like fabric.

• Non-woven The wallpaper resembles vinyl. They are quite dense, made from polymers or textile fibers. Such canvases are breathable, they are fireproof, and resistant to ultraviolet radiation, so they are suitable for a hallway flooded with sun. The texture is pleasant because it hides minor irregularities walls, which is a significant advantage. However, non-woven coverings accumulate dust on the surface and have a structure that requires careful handling.
• Textile Wallpaper is similar to a decorative covering with woven threads glued to a paper backing. The threads can be intertwined or parallel (as close as possible). This finish is quite controversial. It demonstrates the well-being of the home owners, however, it is quite capricious in pasting and does not allow the slightest contact of glue on the surface front side. It is difficult to glue, and besides, you will have to apply the composition only to the wall, which is not always convenient and sufficient for maximum adhesion.

• Wall finishing for painting– wallpaper of predominantly white color, one meter wide, made on paper based. The structure of the material is relief, has a different simple pattern, often similar to chaotic stucco. Due to the unusual relief when painting, an interesting pattern is created, while you can hide the unevenness of the wall. The material is attractive because it can be painted many times: the paint applies evenly, coloring all the depressions of the relief.
• Liquid wallpaper is a new generation product, which is the only one in the line of interior wall decoration that is produced in bags and resembles glue wool. Moreover, the similarity is not only external: the material is also diluted warm water and let it brew right time(about a day), tightly closing the bag. The finished raw material is spread on the wall: the appearance of the cladding is original, heterogeneous, reminiscent of an uneven mosaic. The uniqueness of the material is the ability to create any pattern. To do this, after priming, paint the desired composition on the wall, then fill the wall with different shades of wallpaper. The disadvantage of the raw material is the fear of contact with water.

• Glass wallpaper– a peculiar material with a fiberglass structure. It is made using a special method reminiscent of knitting. Glass fibers are used in this work. In order for the material to acquire a stable shape, it is treated with special impregnations. Fiberglass wallpaper is original solution design of a hallway or corridor, they are not subject to rotting, are affordable, do not contain harmful toxins and can be painted.
• Cladding with 3D effect– a variety with a three-dimensional (three-dimensional) image. A canvas with visual distortion can change the volume of space, so it is an appropriate type of decoration. 3D wallpaper has a dense structure that is resistant to accidental mechanical damage. They do not burn and fit perfectly on the walls without forming bubbles. However, with a lot of advantages, this finish does not always look good on the wall: for the illusion to be harmonious, you need a small print or more space.

• Lined up natural Wallpaper includes products made from jute, leaves. In addition to them, bamboo and cork coverings. Compared to other analogues, these materials are quite expensive, although they quality characteristics quite tall. They are resistant to moisture, look advantageous and expensive, extend the design to the desired level with a premium look and are combined with different situations. Their distinctive feature is a shade of sand color and appearance, which is far from the classical presentation.

Which wallpaper should you choose?

With a huge selection of wall decorations, it is difficult to buy what you need at first glance. Sometimes there are a lot of options around, which with their diversity distract attention from the desired canvas.

In order not to get confused when purchasing, it is worth outlining the algorithm:

• viewing the existing furnishings of the hallway or corridor;
• choosing a shade and pattern taking into account the area of ​​space and lighting capabilities;
• choice of canvas in the store (several options);
• identification of pros and cons (method of gluing, complexity, resistance to abrasion under mechanical stress);
• calculation of quantity taking into account compliance with the drawing;
• a purchase based on the cost-quality ratio and premium quality.

Wallpaper is not purchased solely on the basis of appearance. Of course, it should be beautiful and have a pleasant texture. However, this alone is not enough. Often, at first glance, the painting seems special, but when examined again, it irritates the eyes.

It is worth considering several types of paintings, taking into account the unevenness of the walls, the thickness of the wallpaper, and the relevance of their theme in a particular interior composition.

To make your choice easier, here are a few useful tips to keep in mind:

• the type of wallpaper must be “correct”: it is important to pay attention to strength, average thickness of the material, the absence of a porous structure (it breaks off in small pieces due to accidental mechanical impact);
• excessively thick and textured canvases are more difficult to cladding; if the walls have unevenness, they can quickly move away between the joints;
• matting and small stripes in the interior of a hallway or corridor create wall ripples: such designs look great up close, but from a distance they hit the eyes;
• It’s time to forget about standard solutions, today they are banal: depending on the pattern, wallpaper can be combined in pairs of rolls or glued horizontally to the wall;

• large wallpaper print destroys small space, so it will not be suitable for a narrow corridor or tiny hallway;
• if the room is narrow, you can hang paired wallpaper, drawing attention to the edges of the width (on long sides it is better to choose plain canvases);
• if the space is small, it is better to choose washable wallpaper: this way you can extend the life of wall coverings and make it easier to keep the walls clean;
• if the interior of the hallway or corridor has plastic panels, dense textured wallpapers are suitable as a companion: they are better combined with the smooth texture of plastic.

It is necessary to pay attention to the subtleties of color combinations. Today, hanging wallpaper on a wall means being a designer. It’s not enough to choose a beautiful design and an interesting base.

It is important to consider the combination with furnishings, depth and saturation of the shade:

• Despite practical considerations, dark shades will create the illusion of smaller space; they will put pressure on the floor;
• You can’t buy canvases in the same color as the floor covering: this creates the feeling that the floor is wrapped around the walls;
• if the hallway or corridor is replete with small objects, a large print is excluded: it will create an atmosphere of disorder;
• if you choose a color that is not in the interior of the room, you cannot do without support through design elements (hanger, floor lamp, lamp, rug);
• if the room has a window, wallpaper in the color of the curtains is excluded (the walls should be different from the curtains).

Color

The color schemes of wallpaper for the hallway and corridor are multifaceted. There are no strict limits: subtle taste is important. Some manage to create a design using dark shades, and at the same time the hallway looks stylish and status-worthy. You can take the ideas of experienced designers as a basis.

Conventionally, all shades are divided into practical and beautiful. The first group includes canvases of beige and diluted brown tones. Of all the shades of the color palette, they fit most harmoniously into the interior of the hallway and corridor. This is a classic that is appropriate regardless of style choice.

The canvases of the second group are divided into two types: pastel shades and rich tones. Muted light colors include lilac, gray-pink, blue, turquoise and delicate peach shades. The bright colors of the palette include soft greens, burgundy, and wine reds. The colors look muted, and due to the texture of the canvases they look expensive and stylish.

As for white and yellow shades, their choice is not so popular. White color is easily soiled, so it is not suitable for rooms with high traffic. Yellow gives way to beige and milky: this makes the walls look more premium. Black paints are inappropriate in the interior of the hallway and corridor. The maximum that they are supposed to do is decorate the elements of the wallpaper pattern (and then in small quantities).

Design

Decorating canvases is a special topic. Each trademark strives to release something unique that can attract buyers. In a competitive environment, canvases are distinguished by a variety of textures and patterns.

The choice of wallpaper must obey two rules:

1. practicality;
2. beauty.

The design takes into account several factors, among which texture is of particular importance.

She may be:

• smooth, due to which the designs have clear and expressive lines (lace and floral motifs, geometric shapes, flowers, striped wallpaper);
• with a relief pattern (including 3D), which allows the canvases to look three-dimensional (velor wallpaper, embossing);
• with imitation of the texture of different materials (like laminate, tile laying, weaving, crocodile skin, tortoise shell, zebra or python skin, with pebbles).

The main condition is relevance: the wallpaper must be in harmony with the general idea of ​​the design, match at least one shade with the existing furnishings, and adhere to the desired theme in style.

They should bring notes of positivity into the premises ( warm shades) And home comfort(catchy metallic and fluorescent canvases that create the illusion of a disco are excluded). In general, the furnishings should correspond to the entire style of the apartment.

Pasting selected wallpaper

Wallpapering is a simple task, but many people have a lot of questions. Some are interested in where to start decorating the walls, others do not know how to properly glue the canvases. It may seem that each canvas has its own tricks and peculiarities of pasting.

In reality, everything is not as complicated as it might seem:

• if the walls were covered with other wallpaper before the renovation, they should be removed using a spray bottle and water (this makes it easier to remove the old coating, the canvases are removed in large fragments, and there is practically no dust);
• each roll indicates the gluing method (sometimes it has a schematic image);
• thin canvases are glued overlapping, placing one on top of the other, dense wallpaper is glued close to each other (end-to-end);

• since there is rarely a window in these rooms, the first panel is glued from the door, then they go clockwise around and return with reverse side doors;
• if the canvases are textured and dense, it doesn’t matter where you glue it from: you can start working from the corner (this way you can decorate the corner as accurately as possible without distortions and folds);
• the gluing method is affected design options placement of wallpaper: if it is a patchwork technique, the cut out fragments will have to be pasted from the middle or according to the applied markings.

Fashionable options

Since wallpaper of the same design is boring, you can decorate the walls of the hallway and corridor with different techniques from experienced stylists.

The most interesting stylistic solutions are:

• horizontal combination– gluing the canvases perpendicular to the floor using the alternating method, taking into account the features of the pattern (relevant for stripes);
• vertical alternation– a technique similar to the previous one, but with a slight difference: the pattern is highlighted less than a plain canvas (it is better to decorate the center with a print, start alternating along the edges, making the plain stripes wider);

The answer to the exciting question “what wallpaper to choose for your hallway?” depends on a number of factors. When looking through the many options in an online store or on supermarket shelves, don’t be too lazy to think about what a hallway is and what it’s like functional purpose. Indeed, often after wallpapering and the first rain on the street, the owners think about how to clean their luxurious walls, decorated with plain paper. The important points are the following characteristics of the room:

• quadrature;
• form;
• ceiling height;
• wall alignment;
• lack of natural light;
• possibility of frequent contamination;
• style of the remaining rooms;
• the presence and appearance of furniture in the hallway;
• convenience.

The list is far from small, which once again emphasizes the importance of a thoughtful, reasonable approach to choosing wallpaper for the hallway.

The hallway performs the following functions in the house:

1. Passage - all guests without exception pass through this room, unlike, for example, the bedroom, where they may not reach. Every day, all family members also do not pass the corridor, putting on or taking off outerwear, putting on or taking off their shoes. Almost all routes in the apartment usually pass through the corridor - to the kitchen, to the rooms, to the bathroom or toilet.
2. The wardrobe function smoothly follows from the previous one. Having taken off your clothes and shoes, you need to locate them somewhere. For this purpose, a wardrobe will be installed in the corridor. Everyday items and those for which the season has not yet come are hung here.
3. The storage and storage function is often also associated with the corridor. In the case where there is a storage room in the hallway, everything that does not have a place in the apartment is kept there - from nails to conservation.
4. The representative role of the hallway lies in its comfort for those present and its aesthetically pleasing interior.
5. Redistribution of the corridor is possible if there is a distinct hall, as an intermediate zone to the entrance to the hall. Here you can install a sofa or several armchairs, a small table, think about lighting and mirrors to make the room look cozy.

In addition to these main purposes, the hallway is a place where they wash dogs' paws, dry umbrellas, watch through a CCTV camera, talk on the phone, and relax after a long journey.

Wallpaper, taking into account the above-mentioned features of the room at the entrance to the apartment, should be:

• resistant to washing;
• durable;
• practical.

The following types of coatings fully meet these requirements:
1) Paper wallpaper, covered with a special layer on top that is not afraid of water and washing. This variety may have several markings on the packaging, indicating different degrees of resistance to friction and detergents:

• one wavy line indicates that the coating requires careful care; it is enough to wipe them with soft suede or a microfiber sponge;
• two waves one above the other - this is an average degree of moisture resistance, such wallpaper is not afraid of regular treatments with a damp sponge;
• three lines in the form of a wave, respectively, imply a coating option resistant to chemical detergents.

The presence of an additional schematic brush icon indicates that the wallpaper will not tear even with regular intense loads.

2) Paper or non-woven wallpaper with a vinyl top layer. A lot of advantages for an affordable price:

• practicality;
• possibility of installation even on uneven walls and masking their shortcomings due to the relief texture;
• variety of colors, shades, decorative finishes.

Silk-screen printing, fashionable today, can be considered one of the varieties vinyl covering with additional layers of natural durable silk threads, giving the wallpaper an amazing internal shine and gloss.

3) Liquid wallpaper. Only a professional who has experience working in wall decoration can apply them correctly and aesthetically. Such wallpaper is laid like plaster, ultimately forming a pleasant, smooth, even, uniform texture on the wall. Their growing popularity is well justified due to the following features:

• high sound insulation;
• good heat retention;
• antistatic properties;
• ease of care;
• easy replacement of a very dirty or damaged area - the unnecessary element is simply removed with a sharp spatula, and the same layer is applied in its place, resulting in a perfectly flat, clean surface again.

4) Wallpaper made from glass fibers is an innovation for hallway walls. Their advantage is that apartment owners can change the style of the room by painting walls with glass wallpaper whenever they want. Do this regularly old paint simply washed off with solvent. The coating perfectly withstands any mechanical stress.

5) For corridors in eco-styles, natural wall coverings using bamboo, cork, and palm leaves are preferred. This hallway looks very cozy and warm. The walls seem to give a feeling of life, nature, reliability, confidence in the future.

A small secret that can be implemented in the hallway is a combination, a combination different types wallpaper, for example, expensive natural wallpaper with more economical options made of vinyl or paper.

It is also necessary to think through the places most susceptible to contamination in the corridor, usually the lower third of the wall nearby entrance doors, this is where the strongest and most durable wallpaper comes in handy. Areas higher and further from the entrance may differ in the type of wallpaper; the main thing is not to forget about the rules of consistency of style.

Wallpaper for a narrow hallway

The principle of interior design narrow room hallway, which is often also long, is a ban on the use of wallpaper in dark shades, replete with large figures, otherwise, when entering the apartment, you will feel that the ceiling and walls are pressing on you.


The second “no” is to any striped patterns. Frequent horizontal lines will make your corridor even longer and smaller than it actually is. Vertical stripe visually narrows the room.

When choosing a color scheme for a narrow hallway, stop at the wallpaper:

1) Light.

2) Without attention-grabbing drawings.

To expand a narrow corridor, designers sometimes resort to such a technique as covering opposite walls with wallpaper of different colors. In this case, the texture should be the same, and the tones should be contrasting or combined.

Lighting in such a corridor requires soft and plentiful lighting. Lamps are used both on the ceiling and on the walls. The original option is illuminated plasterboard niches covered with wallpaper. An additional plus is shelves for various small items.

Large oval or rectangular mirrors on the walls will help expand a narrow hallway. It is also not recommended to clutter such a corridor with massive furniture; elegant hangers and wardrobe cabinets with mirrored doors.

Wallpaper for a small hallway

A small hallway requires all sorts of tricks aimed at at least visually expanding the space. Wallpaper can easily cope with this task. What qualities should they have?

2) Secondly, have an appropriate color. Having chosen white or very light solid colors for the hallway walls, you may soon notice that they require replacement with new ones. Dust, dirt, splashes of water, sometimes even prints of not very clean hands - all this will sooner or later settle on your wallpaper. When choosing the color of wallpaper for a small hallway, consider the following options to ensure that stained areas are not noticeable:

• light, but with a small pattern;
• original wall coverings interspersed with decorative vinyl chips;
• glass breakers painted with glossy paint will add chic to the corridor and expand the space;
• combination of different types of coatings.

3) Third, feel free to optimize small space using stripes. Vertically directed striped patterns will help increase the height of the ceiling. To reduce too high ceilings V small hallway, use wallpaper with horizontal stripes.

Sometimes used in a small hallway special kind wallpaper that has a smooth, shiny surface, like a mirror, with metallic decor on top. Such elements reflect light and make the room full of elegance and luxury.
