What is modern style?
Let's start from the definition - modern style is something that is relevant or fashionable at the moment. Experts recommend not to chase after fashion trends that appear with an enviable frequency. They recommend to take for an axiom the following definition of the modern style of the hallway design: compact, light and light.
Compactness is needed, because usually the hallway has rather small dimensions. Lightness is also associated with small room sizes. The abundance of objects will create a pressuring atmosphere, and the incoming will feel uncomfortable in it. Light plays an important role, because in the overwhelming majority of cases the hallway does not have natural light sources.

Wall and ceiling decoration
The hallway has a clearly limited functionality - it has cabinets with clothes and shoes, as well as furniture, which stores the care of them. Therefore, trying to create a modern design of the hallway, you should not give yourself too much to the revelry of creative imagination. The wallpaper should be in harmony with the overall style of the house, but for the hallway it is better to choose light, monochrome colors.
And the hallway is a room that is constantly exposed to external factors - with us we constantly bring dust, dirt, moisture from the street. To prevent the wallpaper from being absorbed by contaminants, it is recommended to choose washable or resistant to cleaning.

Perhaps the most successful example of a functional hallway. A lot of cabinets do not make the room cluttered, but will allow you to place on your shelves a rather large wardrobe.

Another "risk factor" in the hallway is that the home owners and guests here dress or take off their clothes, touch the wallpaper. This can lead to dark spots or blurring of the pattern. Therefore, you should not choose expensive trellises with convex patterns.
Designers also advise not to stick here a wallpaper with vertical stripes - visually it will be created that the incoming gets into the well. But the horizontal bands are able to visually "lengthen" the walls and increase the room.
The ceiling in the hallway is better to make a monophonic and light, in one style with wallpaper.

Floor coverings
Flooring in the hallway should be selected, based on the following criteria:
- resistance to pressure;
- resistance to shocks;
- impermeability to moisture;
- resistant to contamination.
All these qualities can be found in several materials. In the first place for popularity is parquet or laminate. They are resistant to abrasion, withstand impacts, easy to clean. Their seams and joints can be closed with modern means. But these materials have a significant drawback - a high price.

More affordable flooring is a floor tile. Designers are advised to combine tiles and laminate or parquet, creating two zones. On the tile walk shod, which protects the rest of the floor in the hallway and from the pressure of the heels, and from the dirt that comes to the house from the street.
But all the listed materials before laying need preliminary preparation of a floor surface, and it demands additional expenses. Therefore, many owners choose their relatively inexpensive, linoleum and carpet. Now there are many varieties designed specifically for hallways, so you can easily select a suitable flooring for the cost and quality.

Lighting
As mentioned above, the hallway is usually the darkest room in the house. There are no windows, and even a glass door does not always let in enough light. Therefore, such a room should be well lit by lamps and lamps.
Note that bright lighting will give the room more space and airiness. Therefore, it is necessary to use devices that give scattered light. Directed rays will create a depressing sense of limited confined space.
For the design of the hallway, LED spot lighting is selected.

The chandelier here will be superfluous, it is better to dispense with a modern flat lamp under the ceiling and in places where additional lighting is needed. Usually this mirror, which is one of the main elements of the hallway. The space in front of the mirror should be properly lit. In this case, the fixtures must scatter light so that the shadows do not distort the reflection in the mirror.
Installing wall lamps in the hallway, it is necessary to be guided by the following rule - all of them are placed at a height of not less than 2 meters above the floor level. The hallway has a limited space, so the risk of hooking and breaking a low-hanging lamp here is very large.

Furniture for anteroom
Modern style of the hallway is created due to the overall composition, which combines the floor, walls, ceiling and lighting. But it is furniture that is the most visible element of design. Therefore, her selection should be given special attention.
Modern design style implies functionality and compactness of all decor elements. Cabinets, chests of drawers, shelves and pedestals should not have protruding elements, fanciful details and complex ornaments.
Here are the basic rules for choosing an ambience for the hall:
- For storage of things - only closed furniture.
- Open - for various trifles.
- The furniture is simple, light and airy.
- The absence of contrasting colors, it is better if there are two or three basic shades.
- Comfort and ergonomics in everything.

Believe me, to create an entrance hall in a modern style, do not need special knowledge or special skills. It is enough to follow the above principles in order to achieve an excellent result.
