Properly decorating the interior of the hall in the apartment is not an easy task. Many trust this process to experienced designers whose services are, frankly, not cheap. Knowing some principles of creating the atmosphere and choosing the most suitable style for the spirit, it is quite possible to come up with a design on your own and bring your idea to life. In our article, we will consider what the modern design of the hall in the apartment can be and what needs to be taken into account when making it.
General rules for the design of the hall
When planning the design of the hall, it is necessary to take into account the wishes of all family members and organize the space in such a way that everyone can find their own cozy corner. Another important point is the choice of style that should match the design of other rooms. Agree, the classic-style living room adjacent to the minimalist kitchen or hallway will look ridiculous. In the design of the halls, in spite of their size and shape, there are some general design rules that should be followed so as not to end up with an uncomfortable fancy little room.
Zoning
The division of space into separate functional areas is the main rule of competent design of a room. There are a lot of ways to carry out zoning - you can separate territories using different finishes of walls, ceilings, and floors. Sometimes this role is played by furniture, for example, a sofa can isolate the relaxation area from the dining room or the shelving closes the sleeping bed. In the role of limiters are steps, podiums, bar counters, bulky partitions. Lighting devices can also play an important role in emphasizing a particular zone. When dividing the hall into small sections, it must be taken into account that there must be some kind of interconnection between all the elements, gathering all the zones together.
Finishing materials
The choice of methods for finishing interior surfaces is quite large - this also applies to the materials themselves and color solutions. For walls, the most popular type of cladding today is wallpaper, since they have a huge variety of textures and colors. They can be paper, non-woven, washable, liquid, fabric canvases, wallpaper with photo printing and 3D-effect are also quite common. Wallpaper for painting makes it possible to easily eliminate defects that have appeared over time, as well as completely change the color palette of the room. Decorative plaster is also in great demand, which can be smooth or have an interesting texture. A successful modern solution is the combination of materials when different wallpaper paintings, stucco with painting, wallpaper with stucco or wall panels and other options are combined within the living room.
The design of the ceiling surface is more dependent on the dimensions of the room. For rooms with low ceilings, it is better to opt for classic white whitewashing or painting or stretch structures. If the hall has high walls, you can use the surface design with drywall, stretch sheets, creating levels. Figured ceilings often play an important role in highlighting certain areas.
Color schemes
Unlike the monophonic designs inherent in the interiors of the last century, modern halls can have the most daring color combinations. However, in this matter it is worth considering the location of the room relative to the cardinal points. If the living room windows face south, there will be enough natural bright lighting, so you can use rich, cold or dark tones - the choice of palette depends on the preferences of the owners and the general design concept. In the opposite case, when the windows look north, it is better to give preference to light and warm shades that compensate for the lack of light and give the atmosphere coziness.
The combination of cold colors with warm colors of upholstered furniture looks great. One of the modern design techniques involves the so-called “drawing on a white canvas”, when wall and ceiling surfaces are decorated with banal white stucco or paint, against which furniture of different colors is arranged.
To create an effective design, furniture can be chosen in bright colors, and for the decoration of an elegant, light interior, preference is given to delicate pastel colors. The choice of this or that option depends on the lifestyle of all family members, their predisposition to noisy parties or calm quiet evenings.
Furniture and lighting
The territory of the hall should not be heavily cluttered with furniture to leave enough free space. A standard set of furniture involves a sofa, armchairs, a coffee table, shelving, or modular headset designs. Professional designers avoid arranging furniture in the living room along the walls, considering this a relic of the past. It is better to choose one central element (a recreation area with a sofa and a TV or a fireplace), from which the whole subsequent situation will be repelled.
Often the hall in the apartment, especially if it does not have a large usable area, contains not one, but several functional zones. Here you can find a work desk, a bar, a children's corner or a bedroom, etc. In this case, the use of bulky drywall or glass partitions is possible.
The selection and placement of lighting devices also plays an important role. In addition to the classic chandeliers that have decorated almost all the halls of the past decades, today's market offers a much larger selection of stylish, comfortable fixtures. In the living room, it is better to arrange multilevel lighting, adding, in addition to ceiling devices, wall sconces, floor lamps that will provide local illumination of certain areas. For a small room, the best option would be the built-in ceiling lights, and high ceilings can be equipped with pendant depending on the style decision.
Small living room
If the area of the room is very tiny, which is often found in Khrushchev, you can try to combine it with a kitchen, a corridor, a balcony or a loggia. In this case, additional space will appear. But you need to consider that such a redevelopment will require the receipt of relevant documents, as well as considerable financial investments. It is better to refuse to place bulky cabinets in a small room - they can find a place in the niches of the corridor or other rooms. A minimalist design with the presence of transforming furniture and light colors of decoration will be most appropriate here.
Passage hall
The most difficult to design are walk-through rooms. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the floor covering, which will undergo constant trampling, so you can give preference to a resistant laminate, ceramic tile or bulk construction, and place carpets only in resting places. Furniture also should not be in the passage zone - most often it acts as a delimiter of zonal division. Since there will be two or three doors, you need to choose identical models, giving preference to sliding structures, saving a significant area.
Interior Styles
The last decades has become fashionable interior design in compliance with any style. Choosing one of the areas, which are quite a lot in modern design, you should take into account the size of the premises, personal preferences for color schemes, and also, importantly, financial opportunities, as some styles require considerable financial investments.
Minimalism hall design
The minimalist room is markedly restrained by decoration and furnishing. Excessive decor is inappropriate here - it gives way to conciseness and functionality. This direction is perfect for halls of any size, assuming a monochrome color scheme (white, beige, ash, etc.), good lighting, a minimum of furniture and maximum expansion of space both at the visual level and at the practical level by eliminating interior partitions. As the finishing materials for the walls are liquid wallpaper or painted, decorative plaster and wall panels made of plastic, wood. It is advisable to choose furniture with a glossy surface, glass and mirror elements are relevant.
Loft style design
The loft-style living room is a large, spacious room with high ceilings and panoramic windows. It most often combines with neighboring rooms and can be separated from them only by glass partitions. Here there are such areas as a dining room, a recreation area with a large sofa, a bar counter, an entrance hall (in loft apartments there is no separate entrance vestibule), a dressing room, a working area, etc., therefore, the issue of zoning space is very important.
The color palette varies within the limits of gray, white, brown colors and their shades, and bright decor items like multi-colored sofa cushions, abstract paintings, bright covers of magazines, etc. will dilute the monotony. The decoration welcomes natural concrete walls or with brickwork, as well as materials imitating them (wall panels, wallpaper, decorative plaster). Communications do not hide, but deliberately flaunt, emphasizing the style of abandoned factory slums. The furniture has impressive shapes, and the central element is a sofa with a TV or fireplace.
Hall design in provence style
Universal bright Provence is suitable for any room, turning it into a cozy quiet corner. The design of the hall in this direction will require the presence of wooden furniture (preferably artificially aged), a fireplace, natural finishing materials (stone, brick, wood), large window openings through which sunlight will enter. Elements such as: wallpaper with large flowers, matched by textiles, antique frames on the walls, decorative pillows, porcelain figurines will help maintain the color. Light pastel colors are preferred.
Retro style room design
To create a retro-style hall, you need to choose a specific era and the most typical interior items for it. Frequent elements are fabric wallpapers with geometric patterns, a coffee table, antique equipment, black and white family photo galleries on the walls, round carpets. In the living room, decorated under the 50s of the last century, leather upholstery is appropriate, in the 60s bright curtains, rugs, tablecloths with floral and geometric prints came into fashion. A retro design reminiscent of the 70s will become the most concise, it will certainly include a sideboard, a coffee table and a spacious ottoman.
The interior of the hall in Khrushchev
As a rule, the layout in these apartments is not very convenient from the point of view of the sweeping design, this is due to the fact that at that time when designing housing, attention was paid not to the person’s comfort, but to his provision with this housing.
Therefore, to correct this situation, most designers propose two solutions:
- Creating a visual illusion of expanding space.
- Maximum use of living space.
In the solution of the first option, such design approaches are used as the use of light colors and shades in the design of walls and ceilings, while it is recommended to select colors for the walls for a couple of smudges darker than the ceiling.
Glossy ceilings in such apartments are almost an ideal option, creating this illusion.
To give maximum functionality to the living room, you should abandon the furniture of that time, which takes up more space than it does its job.
The use of modern furniture transformers and modular shelving will give exactly the versatility of the room, which is necessary for a modern person.
In addition, modern lines and shapes of this furniture will balance your living room and give it conciseness and interest, while saving every square centimeter.
To find out how furniture can harmoniously fit into a modern interior, just look at the photo.
In solving the issue of lighting, it is recommended to use all kinds of spotlights located throughout the hall, since one chandelier will not be able to provide sufficient lighting in different areas of this living room, in addition, it can take up a lot of space in height.
At present, you will not have much difficulty picking up the necessary fixtures for yourself, which are represented by a wide range on the shelves of specialized stores.
The interior of the hall in a private house
This version is a bit simpler, because in private homes, the living room is often the largest room where guests are received and a traditional family dinner is served at a large dining table.
It is recommended that in this case, visual zoning of the dining space from the space intended for rest is carried out using methods such as creating a difference in the decoration of walls, furniture and even the floor level.
It will be appropriate to use in the living room of a private house, such an element of decor, which can become a visual attention, as such an object can serve as a large houseplant, fireplace or aquarium. The best options with these decorative elements can be seen in the photo.
It must be remembered that no matter which decor element is chosen, it should be in harmony with the overall style and design.
Classical
The design of the hall in the classical style is clearly expressed in luxurious furnishings, decor and interior decoration. Baroque products fit well with gilded elements, flowing shapes and natural wood.
The classic interior is ideal for spacious rooms with large windows.
Every piece of decoration and decoration should emphasize luxury. Real or fake fireplace with decorative stucco, classic paintings in gilded frames. Textiles for furniture and curtains are necessarily made of noble fabrics: velvet and satin for curtains, jacquard, velor, brocade for upholstery.
A mandatory attribute is a pendant chandelier made in antique style. Together with decorative modeling, it will add spectacularness to the room.
Modern
Unusual design decisions, asymmetric decoration and decoration options, contrasting color combinations, and the addition of elements from other styles predominate in modernity.
Modern perfectly combines practicality and functionality
Art Nouveau is characterized by a bias in the functionality of furniture and decor elements. The main emphasis is created by a large comfortable sofa made in simple forms. The main features are convenience and functionality. The uniqueness of accessories and decoration gives a unique design.
Style does not like excessive decorations, but indoor plants welcome
Art Nouveau is equally suitable for spacious and small living rooms. Depending on the available space, different design tricks can be used to visually increase or decrease the space.
High tech
High-tech style is popular, especially among advanced youth. It implies the most functional use of space. In the room, you should abandon the excess decor. The use of modern smart technology is implied.
Perhaps high-tech lacks soulfulness, but there is definitely nothing superfluous here
Furniture is often built-in; metal and glass are the main materials. The colors should be dominated by white, gray and black colors and their shades. Throughout the hi-tech design, the dominance of strict straight lines can be traced.
the flooring should be monophonic, without any ornaments and patterns
High-tech will suit modern business people. Due to the optimal use of the area, it is ideal for a limited area.
Minimalism
The minimalist living room design is ideal for small spaces. It implies a minimum of furniture, a minimal presence of decor, proportionality in the interior, straight lines and corners, mostly light colors. All this helps to maximize the use of the area and create the effect of visual expansion of space.
Minimalism sacrifices decorativeness in favor of practicality, the result is a kind of "silent" aesthetics of forms and lines
Furniture in a minimalist living room is selected simple, geometrically correct, plain. Curtains on the windows should not stand out, so they take a few tones different from the walls. The rolled models fit well.
Minimalism color palette - several neutral colors, mainly of natural origin
Finishing is required to be done in plain color. For this, smooth plaster, wood, wallpaper. It is not recommended to have extra jewelry. The emphasis can be made with a contrasting picture or photo.
The loft is not suitable for halls of limited volume; it requires space without extra partitions, high ceilings, large windows. The loft interior creates a cozy and comfortable attic atmosphere:
- walls made under rough plaster or brickwork,
- wooden beams as an element of decor,
- wooden or laminate flooring.
Loft allows you to combine old things, furniture with new appliances. He is often chosen by creative individuals. The room must have a large soft and comfortable sofa with pillows and rugs. Paintings in modern techniques also look good. Chandeliers do not particularly fit into this style, spotlights or ordinary lamps hanging on wires are much better.
The loft-style room is an interior for those who keep up with the times and follow fashion trends
The style includes inconsistent, at first glance, elements
Textiles may include leather, felt, and suede. Windows need to be made as open as possible. To do this, use short curtains made of cotton or blinds.
Provence
Provence is a kind of provincial version of the classic design. It is characterized by light pastel colors, wallpaper with natural motifs, exquisite antique or aged furniture, handmade products.
Provence is similar to the classics, but differs in simplicity of scenery and provincial charm.
Light colors visually enlarge the room, so Provence is suitable for a small room. Provence creates a cozy bright atmosphere of a suburban French house by the sea. It is this atmosphere that contributes to relaxation and relaxation in the company of family or friends.
Finishing can be done with plaster, paint, imitate brick (necessarily light). Light wallpapers with floral motifs are also applicable. Natural materials are used for the floor: wood or parquet. A cheap wood-like finish can ruin a design. Furniture and decorative items can be decorated with carvings.
Style gravitates to everything natural, so there should be more natural materials
For decoration, various wicker baskets, knitted napkins or wraps are used. For curtains take a natural fabric, decorated with embroidery or pattern. The main rule for color design is to choose two or a maximum of three primary colors and most surfaces should be performed only in these colors and their shades. Family photos perfectly complement the decoration.
Floor finish
Almost any materials satisfy the floor in the hall. Here you must take into account your preferences, style features and, of course, financial opportunities.
The most budget option is linoleum, which simulates any floor covering.
The most common options for flooring:
- Laminate. It looks great simulating wood, in addition, it is easily and quickly mounted. However, installation requires a perfectly flat floor.
- Parquet. It keeps heat well and looks great, but it will come out more expensive and you will need to hire an expert.
- Ceramic tile. Has a good look and practicality. The disadvantages include installation complexity, cold and slippery floors.
- Linoleum. A small price speaks in his favor, but the manufacturer should be carefully selected, since there are a lot of low-quality products. Also easy to install.
- Carpet. It is very simple to install, it insulates the floor well and is relatively cheap. But it requires constant cleaning, as it collects dust very much.
- Bulk floor. Differs in practicality and unique design. However, it is not suitable for everyone and has a higher price.
Ceiling design
Choosing the right material will help highlight the positive aspects of the room and hide the flaws. For example, for a small living room, a stretch glossy ceiling is often used because of its ability to illusorily increase the size of the room. For a large hall, multi-level structures are suitable, thanks to which you can visually divide the room into zones.
Much depends on the height of the ceiling, if it is low - a fairly even light coating
More expensive and technically sophisticated elements such as stucco molding and art painting will fit into a luxurious classic interior. This option is perfectly complemented by a large crystal chandelier.
Materials for the ceiling:
| Material | Benefits | disadvantages |
| Drywall | ecologically pure, easily bends, therefore suitable for creating various curved shapes, allows you to hide the wiring under the design, the air conditioning system. | not suitable for low apartments, |
| Stretch ceiling | wear resistant easy to care also helps to close the imperfections of the ceiling and communication. | high price, requires a specialist to install, |
| Paint | huge selection of colors it is applied without problems, | requires a flat surface reinforces flaws and bumps. |
| Wallpaper | wide range affordable price range, ease of sticking. | low service life |
| Polystyrene tile | convenient to mount a wide range of, affordable price, can imitate stucco, stucco molding. | afraid of high temperature (for example, from a nearby lamp), loses color from sunlight |
| Plaster | sophisticated look hides flaws | an expert is required to carry out the work. |
| Lining | Looks great in a loft style, low installation complexity natural wood | constant care is required. |
Height of 3 meters and above makes it possible to install multi-level structures
Furniture selection
When arranging the headset in the living room, it is important to remember one rule: do not put it around the perimeter. Despite the well-established traditions, such an arrangement will make the large room more empty, and the small one will be even more constrained.
For a spacious living room, sofa and armchairs can be placed closer to the center. At the same time, you need to make sure that no one is turned back to the TV, if it is present in the room.
The choice of furniture is related to the size of the hall, the number of inhabitants and their needs
In small apartments, armchairs are best placed by the windows. You can even buy a corner sofa. It has functionality and does not look large against the background of the window.
When choosing furniture, it is important to consider the style and decor of the room. So, for a classic design, a plain sofa of a simple and regular shape will not work. And an old wooden set with carved legs and backs does not fit into modern or high-tech.
Features of textile design
Bright motley curtains and textiles are suitable for the living room, which will create a relaxed atmosphere for relaxation and give lightness. The type of fabric and color must comply with the rest of the decor.
The choice of curtains is directly related to the style of the interior.
Also, when choosing a fabric, it is necessary to take into account not only the decorative function of textiles, but also the practical one. In a room that is too bright, curtains can help protect against excessive sunlight. But in a shaded apartment you need more transparent curtains so that there is enough light.
Bright decorative pillows always look stylish against the background of the monochrome scale of the rest of the space
Textiles in the living room can be used to create a unique and exotic oriental decoration. To do this, bright fabrics are used that decorate not only windows, but also the ceiling and walls.
Living room in Khrushchev
Small rooms are typical for Khrushchev; the hall is no exception. In this case, it is better to use minimalism or high-tech. If you have the desire and the means, you can use Provence.
The color scheme must be in light shades, so that the room looks more lighted and spacious. Furniture for the hall of Khrushchev should choose the most compact. At the same time, a folding sofa is most beneficial in terms of its functionality.
A sofa, a pair of armchairs, a coffee table and a wall or shelves - a traditional set of furniture for the hall in Khrushchev
In the case when the layout and facilities allow, the hall can be expanded by combining with the neighboring kitchen. Thus, combined with the kitchen you can get a living room-studio. However, in this case, it is required to install a powerful hood above the stove so that smells do not spread throughout the apartment.
Fireplace in the interior
The fireplace adds coziness and homely atmosphere to any room. A slight crackle of firewood on a cold evening cannot be compared to anything.
At the moment, there is a large assortment of fireplaces from various materials and colors. It is best to take a light shade so that it does not press on the room. The picture will look perfect above the fireplace, but on the contrary it is imperative to place a coffee table and several armchairs or a sofa.
A fireplace is almost always found in classic interiors.
Installation requires some room conditions:
- the floor must be strong
- area from 20 square meters.
It is for this reason that the fireplace is so rare in city apartments.
A real fireplace is quite expensive.
It is also worth paying attention to the types of fireplaces:
- Traditional. Needs a chimney, difficult to install in a finished room. But it gives exactly that unique feeling from smoldering firewood in the fireplace.
- Gas. It is easier to install, it requires gas supply. It looks identical to the standard, but the heat transfer is higher.
- Electric. It imitates a real fireplace and works from the outlet. But nothing can replace the open fire of firewood.
- False fireplace. A decorative element of the interior that imitates only the appearance. Looks good in many design options. Does not simulate fire and does not heat.
General rules for decorating the hall
For the integrity of the atmosphere of an apartment or house, consider the following points:
- The style of the hall should not contradict the style of the rest of the rooms.
- Strive to preserve and increase natural light - this will not increase the actual size of the room, but will create the effect of spaciousness and freshness.
- Avoid clutter by choosing practical and functional furniture.
Classic design
- Symmetry.
- Harmony.
- Quality expensive materials.
In a classic interior, a real fireplace is always appropriate, but in an apartment you will have to do with a beautiful imitation
The color scheme varies depending on your preferences, but gilding will be mandatory. The walls are decorated with stucco, decorative plaster, stone, marble or wood.
Pay attention to the choice of a beautiful chandelier or floor lamps with crystal elements.
Hi-tech style
High-tech style using innovations in technology and design. The most commonly used materials are:
High-tech hall - it is uniquely rigorous and rational design
The walls should be perfectly smooth, furniture - strict geometric shape. The floor is most often made of ceramic tiles, the ceiling is multi-level with lighting.
Minimalism style
The name speaks for itself: a minimum of objects, a maximum of practicality. The basis of the color scheme is white, complemented by shades of brown or gray.
Minimalism dictates a careful attitude to the choice of finishing materials and furniture
Furniture in the style of minimalism is distinguished by its simplicity of design, and the room as a whole by the rationality of the use of space, laconicism and functionality. The walls are monochrome, liquid wallpaper or wall panels are suitable.
Please note: the glossy surface of the furniture will visually expand the room.
Ethnic style
There are many variations of this style, but in general they are all divided into:
- authentic ethnicity
- ethnic mix
- ethnic accents.
Authentic ethnicity is a repetition of the antiquity style of a certain culture with accuracy to the details.
Ethno in design - a mixed concept that includes stylistics of different peoples
An ethnic mix is a combination of several cultures in one space.
Interior room with arabic elements
Ethnic accents - this is when one style is taken as the basis, and an artifact of the culture of ancient civilization is used as an accent.

Art Deco
Imagine that Salvador Dali was embodied in the form of an interior. This will be the art deco style. It is distinguished by unusualness, brightness, luxury and a combination of seemingly incongruous cultures in one room. Art deco lovers usually represent the upper class of society.
Traditional art deco based on a contrasting combination of black and white
- clear lines
- bright contours and contrasts,
- zigzag decor
- massive mirrors.
Art Nouveau style
A simplified version of art deco. This style is softer and lighter, but no less luxurious. When choosing furniture for the hall in the Art Nouveau style, remember the smoothness of lines and the lack of symmetry.
Modern is a very dynamic style, quickly responding to new fashion trends.
In it, just as in many other styles, natural materials are valued. Plant and animal motifs are used in wall decoration and upholstery. Mandatory large windows with mosaics and a door with stained glass elements.
Neo-classic
If you like the classic style, but you also value modernity and the elements of minimalism, pay attention to the neo-classic style.
In this style, classic luxury blends harmoniously with modern functionality.
The color of the walls, floor, ceiling and surface of cabinet furniture is traditionally restrained: shades of white, gray and brown are suitable. Add bright details, if desired, using objects in rich colors of burgundy, emerald, or turquoise.
Neo-classic implies luxury and status, therefore it requires a large number of square meters. Such a style is suitable for your room only if it is really big.
Loft style
Suitable for lovers of a new, modern and extraordinary interior. Its peculiarity is spaciousness, vivid accents, unusual little things and at the same time simplicity that preserves space and does not litter it.
The loft is characterized by brickwork, wooden floors and gray concrete surfaces.
A distinctive feature of the loft style in zoning space. Moreover, this can be done not necessarily due to the partition. Use furniture or different flooring and wall colors to delimit space.
Traditional loft style wall decoration:
- Concrete walls.
- Brickwork.
- Panels that mimic the two previous options.
Please note: the central element of the loft-style hall is the fireplace.
Country style
A distinctive feature of the country style is the use of exclusively natural materials.
All equipment and other objects hinting at the present are better to decorate, mount or hide.
The arrangement of furniture directly depends on its practical application, so in a country-style hall it may seem that everything is located chaotically. The walls are usually made in the economy version: they are plastered and painted in a light color - for example, beige.
Country in the apartment is an attempt by city dwellers to get closer to village life
Country-style ceilings are wooden beams, if height allows, of course. The floor is also made of wood or stone.
Provence style
Artificially aged furniture, pillows, wooden picture frames, figurines for decor create a special atmosphere in the Provence style. For walls, wallpapers with a floral pattern are appropriate. A common color palette in pastel colors.
French Provence is able to give refined tenderness to any room
This style is more suitable for romantic natures than for lovers to keep up with the times.

What to do with the floors in the hall
Modern halls differ in that the floor is not necessarily made in one material. Now you can often find rooms where different floors use different floors.

So, for the design of the hall, it is important to determine the style. One way or another, everything rests on him. The color scheme, the decoration of the walls, ceiling and floors, the arrangement of furniture - it all depends on the style that you like.
Remember: it is not so important to impress your guests with the interior design of the hall, how much to create a space in which it will be nice and cozy for you and your family.
Hall style
To create a modern design of the hall in an apartment or house, it is necessary not only to pay attention to the dimensions, but also to the style design.
The use of different styles is an opportunity to get a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Each of them is diverse and beautiful in its own way. Here are a few of them:
Soft lines, gentle tones of the material for decoration and very comfortable furniture - all this characterizes the classic style. Such an atmosphere creates a cozy atmosphere filled with warmth and light.
Very important for creating a modern interior design of the hall are accessories. If you do not choose them correctly, then the whole point of the classical style is lost.
To create a high-tech style, you need to know its special characteristic signs: the clarity of lines, not a lot of details of the scenery and delicate tones. It is also recommended to choose simple furniture. The main thing is that it is convenient for you.
Creative people often choose the Art Nouveau style, as it gives the opportunity to take a walk of imagination, and make the room especially bright and attractive. For this style, you should choose unusual materials, their various shapes and sizes.
By combining several colors of the color scheme for the design of the hall, you can enjoy the colorful design.
Fans of the fireplace in the living room can turn their attention to the Scandinavian style. If you wish, you can not make a real fireplace, but just choose a simulated one.
Huge furniture is also suitable for this style, especially if you have a large family or you like big companies.
Empire is a style with luxurious furniture and unusual decoration. Having a large hall, you can easily unfold imagination in this style. Well, if the hall is not large, then it is worth putting in it only those objects that will function well.
Ethnic style is chosen by people who like to travel to countries or different cities.
They use more unusual objects or decorations - corals, sea stones, do-it-yourself jewelry, various figurines, which will make the hall refined and original.
We also recommend:
The avant-garde style is characterized by objects that do not fit together. Furniture and other items should be chosen in large sizes, which will give a touch of exclusivity to the room. The furniture should be of the correct form, strict appearance.
Color selection
In order to decorate the room, add a touch of originality and coziness there, you need to remember a few principles that will help to create exactly the room you want:
- For wall decoration, choose plain colors or shades, the furniture should be decorated with different accessories.
- If you observe an oversaturation of bright color in the hall, you can place several soft rugs of delicate shades on the floor.
- Design the walls in neutral tones, this contributes to the visual expansion of the room, if you do not have it very big.
- Bright accessories will perfectly combine with light furniture.
- Use small decorative pillows on the sofa and small LED lamps on the ceiling, which will help brighten up the design of the hall in a modern style.
Wallpaper for wall decoration
Before choosing a wallpaper, you need to deal with lighting. If it is enough, then you can choose wallpaper in dark tones, but if it is too small, it is better to change your choice to light wallpaper. So the room will be more elegant, and will not seem gloomy.
For the classic style, it is recommended to choose warm and light shades. Bright and contrasting is not the place. The design should also be calm so as not to reboot the room with its own tones.
