Characteristics of the design of the equipment of the corridor and hallway in a minimalist style

Features of the style

Minimalism is close to those who love orderliness, are not prone to hoarding and value free space in the house. This style is characterized by:

• Conciseness in decoration, absence of pronounced textures and prints.
• Minimum of furniture and decorative elements.
• Lots of light and, if possible, space.

Color scheme

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

A white hallway with contrasting details of black and brown colors looks very stylish. The corridor in the minimalist style, decorated in beige and wood tones, looks calmer and more traditional.

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

Examples of minimalist decoration

The place that serves as a portal between the street and the house is not easy to keep clean, so the decoration in the minimalist style is characterized by smooth surfaces that are easy to maintain.

The smooth walls of the hallway are painted with paint intended for wet cleaning, so that they can be easily tidied up in case of contamination.

Wallpaper is also used without patterns and with a weakly expressed texture. It is necessary to glue them as carefully as possible, end to end, otherwise one crooked seam can spoil the impression of the entire interior. In a minimalist hallway, any flaws are clearly visible.

The ceiling in the hallway is decorated simply: multi-level structures, massive beams and moldings are alien to minimalism. The ideal option is whitewashing or a suspended ceiling that does not attract attention.

The floor covering is chosen to be wear-resistant: ceramic tiles without patterns, high-quality linoleum and laminate. Both light and dark floors will do, but 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 there is no dressing room or pantry in the house. But when the apartment has a special place to store outerwear, everything is simpler: a small wall hanger or rack and a closed shoe rack are enough. The philosophy of minimalism with such furniture will be supported without difficulty.

But what should owners of small apartments do? The best solution is a built-in wardrobe up to the ceiling. It will “eat up” some of the space, but will allow you to hide everything unnecessary, and a small hallway will turn into a neat and stylish room. Furniture in the minimalist style has simple shapes and creates clear geometric lines.

To “hide” a bulky wardrobe in the hallway, it is enough to use the magic of mirrors: the door facades, reflecting the surrounding environment, will reliably hide everything unnecessary from view. The only drawback is that mirror surfaces will have to be kept perfectly clean.

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

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

Lighting and decor

Lighting plays an important role in the hallway. Minimalism is characterized by spaciousness, and it is the light that allows you to achieve this feeling in a modest area. Instead of a single chandelier, it is better to use several spotlights or pendant lights. Also, do not forget about the closet lighting.

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

Modern Interior Ideas

The minimalist hallway is simple and laconic, but interesting design techniques can add variety to the decor, deviating from strict canons and without violating the philosophy of style.

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