The first room of the apartment is an entrance hall with a small area and a very uncomfortable configuration. Such a room is usually called the corridor precisely for its impracticality. Its main function is the division of the remaining premises of the apartment.
The cosmetic repair of the hallway can be made with your own hands without special expenses. To give this room a new look, you need to choose the style.
It can be a classic, modern or neoclassic.
The classic style is used more often in our modern world, all components of a flat geometric shape are inherent in this direction, the furniture is made of natural materials, with modern processing.
When creating a hall of a new image, the main thing is to understand that it carries the functions of aesthetic, practical and compositional.
And so let’s start. The first stage.
It is necessary to remove old wallpapers and furniture. Prepare the walls, for this we get a roller and apply a primer from top to bottom.
Waiting for when it dries. We apply decorative plaster on a dry wall (the water is two liters, dry the mixture based on gypsum 6kg, mix to the consistency of thick sour cream, adding PVA glue). We apply this mixture evenly a spatula on the wall. After drying the prepared walls, we glue the wallpaper.
We glue the wallpaper correctly.
To do this, they must be prepared. We choose a paper -based wallpaper, apply glue with the help of brushes, do it quickly. We coil the wallpaper with a book and we are waiting, but not for long. Когда они полежали, пропитались, начинаем клеить с угла, разглаживая резиновым валиком. Wallpaper is glued, waiting for them to dry out.
When choosing a style, we settled on the classics, so we do not glue the whole hallway with wallpaper, but only one wall, the other will cover the icing. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the combination of the color scheme when applied to the wall.
Creating sophistication of style, choose gold and silver. With free movements of the brush, half the wall we paint with gold glaze, half silver, while the movements are not arbitrary, feel like an artist!
When most of the work is done, but before ordering furniture, we determine the lighting. The hallway is the darkest room, we need to add more light. We mark where we install the lamps and how many, a place for sconces or a beautiful small chandelier.
You can emphasize the classic style using various objects. This can be like lamps with golden reptiles, chairs with a wide seat, various vases for decor, create an atmosphere of comfort.
But what happened to us.
The number of things is minimized, a lot of light thanks to wallpaper and glaze, the room has gained a different look, became visual wider. Now you can order a hallway with a small wardrobe, with sliding transparent doors (if the area allows), for shoes, umbrellas, clothes, etc. D.
This decision will not visually pile up the hallway.
Do -it -yourself repair is a pleasure from a qualitatively completed work and the implementation of a creative personality.
