Red color in the hallway

The perception of red color is contradictory. He attracts some, irritates others, but the fact that this spectrum does not leave anyone indifferent is a fact undeniable. Psychologists have characterized the red color as energetic, exciting, impudent, inducing to action. Such characteristics suggest that in the design of living rooms, the color should be used very carefully. In light of the above, the red hallway will look like a very bold decision. However, for people who have achieved certain heights, leaders by nature, purposeful and active, this decor becomes only an indicator of their social status and best character traits.

When creating a red interior, the size of the room does not have much importance, here it’s another important thing – functionality. The fact that the hallway, in fact, is the connecting link connecting the front door with the rest of the premises, and this destination of the room does not change either in a large spacious house, or in a small Khrushchev. In the hallway we spend quite a bit of time, but this is not an excuse for its design through the sleeves. In fact, the situation in such a particular room is very important, because this is the first room that everyone who enters your house sees. Whether you like it or not, their subconscious mind will certainly fix what they see, and then analyze it. Thus, a person standing at your doorstep will already have a definite opinion about your house as a whole and its occupants in particular. In the red hallway, everything in general should be thought through to the smallest detail, because your task is to make it comfortable, and these little things, in this case, play quite an important role.

Do you remember the characteristics of red? He excites, activates, but in an exasperating amount of irritates and even provokes scandals. So how do you make your hallway in red so that everyone who comes in sees the situation with delight? Let’s try to figure it out.

Color Games

Experienced designers warn against the transition of the face of “overabundance” when decorating interiors in red tones. Your task is to “tame” the riot of the main tone. This can be done by introducing in the decor of the red hallway other shades of the rainbow palette. The ideal partner of red will be white. Not bad cope with the task:

1. Beige.
2. Shade of ivory.
3. Gray.
4. Caramel.
5. Gold.
6. Silver.

A competent approach to the use of this extraordinary color in all respects will create a red hallway of incredible beauty.

And the color chosen by you is absolutely not necessary to enter into the decor straightforwardly, that is, in the classical tone, it can be adequately replaced by other representatives of the red spectrum. More elegant and austere appearance will receive an entrance in other shades of the red scale: coral, brick, terracotta or venice. The bright colors listed above can also dilute and shade them.

Stylistic design

What, with what and in what proportions to combine, in many respects will be determined by the choice of the stylistic decision of furnish of an interior. For example, the style of pop art allows the use of the main tone in the red hallway in the gloss, while the companions will have black, white and gray accents. If the interior is planned in the country style, take as a basis a catchy, juicy tone of red and dilute it with the tenderness of the pastel palette. Modern design, however, like the classic, more loyal to the terracotta hues, casting autumn calm.

Making such a non-standard hallway, do not violate certain canons. Perform in the base color is only part of the interior. If you prefer to see on the walls of the hallway stucco or wallpaper red tones, then the furnishings in the room should be neutral color. You can do the opposite, that is, fill the furniture with bright furniture and decorate the walls in light colors.

The floors are red in color. They should be in a calmer range, but no one forbids to supplement the composition with a colorful rug. He can quite act as an accent in the decoration.

How the red hallway is furnished

About how to properly distribute the colors of decorative surfaces and elements in the hallway, we have already said. The presence of red furniture implies the presence of a light background – and vice versa, the colorful walls are framed for furniture in calm tones.

Now let’s see what exactly is from the furnishings and accompanying elements can be in the hallway. Due to the fact that often the hallway does not differ in spaciousness, a narrow chest of drawers, a wall hanger and a small hinged shelf are of interest in it. An inseparable accessory of this room is, of course, a mirror. Wall lighting can be used to illuminate the hallway. The floor can be decorated with a long carpet.

For a classic red hallway, furniture of sandalwood or cherry wood should be preferred.

The color of these trees is ideal for the chosen color composition. In minimalist solutions and the same high-tech furniture with glossy facades is needed in red, with an abundance of glass and chrome hardware.

Such a colorful atmosphere will look gorgeous in the frame of white walls and ceiling. The combination will, of course, turn out to be contrast, but it will not be challenging and will also correct the perception of space, filling the interior with freshness, spaciousness and depth.

In addition to this decor, often choose elements of black, brown or beige hue. In the hallway, such accessories as figurines, paintings, floor vases may well be.

 Conclusion

The desire to have an unusual and extravagant room at the entrance to the house is commendable, but do not forget that the red hallway you created should not “strangle” the brightness of walls and ceiling. In the red glow, all objects become bulky, and the space is cautiously compressed, so leave the priority behind the bright furniture and accessories. Believe me, the effect will be no less enchanting, but at the same time the aesthetic balance will remain, and this was your original goal, was not it?
