In addition, the hallway will look better in the classics thanks to the restraint of this style.

It should be noted that the classic style is considered to be strict, but at the same time elegant. Light or pastel colors and elements of luxury are inherent in it.

It is important to emphasize that the hallway in your home is its face, so its interior plays a paramount role. After all, the general impression that the appearance of the house will produce depends on it. A hallway in classic or neoclassical design should also blend in with the rest of the house or apartment.

This style is mostly suitable for people who can afford luxurious comfort and prefer a sophisticated interior. They are good at the fine line between aesthetics and kitsch.

However, under the classic in an ordinary apartment of a multi-storey building, at present, something is understood as something more simplified than a luxurious palace interior.

The absence of unnecessary items and a large number of decorations favorably distinguishes the strict and classic style of the interior. A room of the correct rectangular shape with a large number of mirrors and a variety of niches is well suited for this style.

The main features of this style are also restrained and muted tones, furniture made from natural materials, a large amount of lighting, stucco moldings and walls in the form of textured surfaces, and the presence of symmetry. This style is also distinguished by curly wood carvings, marble tiles, embossing and decorative elements.

Choosing wallpaper for your hallway, you should focus on glossy textures.

Relatively speaking, this style can be divided into masculine classics and feminine. Male classic style is distinguished by brutality and pomp, which is well suited for workrooms and billiard rooms. For all other rooms, including the hallway, women's classics are suitable.

However, nowadays it is rare to find a room decorated only in a masculine or only in a feminine classic style. Most often, they are harmoniously combined. It should be noted that, for example, a wardrobe for a hallway in this style is equipped not with doors, but with a showcase. Modern neoclassical furniture can serve you for decades.

All of the above features of the classic style also apply to your hallway. Often, with this style, it is equipped with luxurious and large mirrors and forged details. The hallways are also equipped with ancient architectural elements.

Also, for such a style, artificial high-quality materials can be used that well imitate natural ones.

Of the finishing materials, high-quality plaster mixes, paper or fabric wallpaper and water-based paint with a monochromatic matte composition are used. Also, wood panels or moisture-resistant wallpaper are used for the walls of the hallway.

You can use the following furniture: a wardrobe with mirrored doors, a simple wardrobe for the hallway, a wardrobe with a showcase instead of doors, a chest of drawers, a bench and an ottoman.

The choice of this or that furniture depends only on the size of your room. For example, a small sofa and armchairs are appropriate only if the size of the hallway is very significant. However, furniture should have clear lines and tangible symmetry.

However, for the classics in the hallway, it is not customary to use a lot of furniture at the same time. It should also be added that such modern finishing materials as laminate, plasterboard and stretch ceilings are already, rather, the so-called neoclass.

It should be noted that the main colors of the hallway in the classic style are restrained pastel and light colors. Bright and variegated details, as well as color blotches are unacceptable for the classics. Calm and natural warm shades go well with this style. For example, beige, blue, sand, woody, cream, pistachio or linen would be very appropriate.

As elements of wall design in an apartment or house, a print is used in the form of a stencil pattern. Also in classical design, forged or embossed products and stucco moldings, figured wooden furniture or tall plants in pots are often used. Also, do not forget about the small elements of the fittings and you should pay a little attention to the choice of door handles, sockets and other details.

When decorating, you should remember about the presence of symmetry and a compositional center in the interior. This can be achieved with a mirrored wall. Although it should be said that the use of such a center is not always justified and depends on the size of the room.

When choosing fabrics, you should focus on floral ornaments. The walls of the hallway are zoned with decorative frames. Geometric patterns can also be used on the floor. This is done in order to avoid the monotony of the white background color. Painting is also used to decorate walls or ceilings.

An obligatory element of a hallway in this style is a large and beautiful mirror, which allows you to visually expand the space.Also, various accessories are often used, for example, antiques, vases, figurines, paintings or massive grandfather clocks.

Among classic-style hallway furniture, the typical choice is a wardrobe or wardrobe, a shoe cabinet, a bench or chest of drawers, and a large full-length mirror.

It must be emphasized that this style is well suited for large areas. The classic style is distinguished by luxury and quality, so there is no way to save money with this choice of interior design. However, even in a small corridor of an ordinary apartment, you can equip the classic economy class style.

Registration in this vein will be very relevant. And with this style, it can be very diverse. After all, the classic style of the interior has acquired many distinctive features over the long years of its existence. You can decorate in a classic style not only your apartment, but also a country house or summer cottage.

It should also be said that the classic style is also well suited for a small apartment with a narrow and long corridor. After all, this style implies restraint and minimalism, which will be very useful for a small hallway. You can safely use arched openings in it.

And to visually delimit a large hallway in a private house, you can also use a colonnade.

Here is a typical example of a classic-style hallway. Flowers in vases, a table lamp and a chandelier-chandelier are used as accessories. To visually increase the space, two large mirrors hang on the wall. The walls and ceiling are in light beige tones, while individual elements of the interior, such as banquettes and doors, contrast with the general background.

Another example of a similar hallway. Here the room is narrow, and therefore a huge mirror was used to increase the space on the entire side wall. Wardrobes are built into another wall. Jewelry and accessories are missing as such. The overall color scheme is light. The door stands out from the general background.

And one more example. A large open space of the room, decorative stucco moldings on the wall, a full-length mirror, additional lighting in the form of lamps and light colors in the interior allow us to conclude that we have a beautiful and luxurious interior in a classic style.

Here is an entrance hall in the form of a narrow corridor with a large side mirrored wall that hides a wardrobe. On the opposite wall there is a photo wallpaper that complements the overall style very well. Lighting is made in the form of a chandelier-chandelier and a wall candle-lamp. An arch is used in the center of the corridor.
