The style and color scheme in the design of the hallway are incredibly important, since they give an idea of the character of the owner of the house. For example, a gloomy black hallway will tell you that this apartment belongs to an uncompromising, pedantic person, confident in the correctness of his views on the world. This means that for the owner, his whole life is outlined in black and white stripes. He has his own opinion, is ready to listen to the opposite, but does not accept any other options. For the owner himself, the abundance of black gives rise to a feeling of security, self-worth, adds inner strength and stimulates a feeling of omnipotence and authority. Communicating with such people is quite difficult and completely uncomfortable.
decorating the walls in the hallway in black
In moderate doses, black makes the environment stylish, discreetly elegant, but at the same time somewhat harsh. Metal accessories, mirrors and additional splashes of color will help smooth out the unnecessary effect, which in this case will come in handy.
Black doors
People who love classic interiors should pay attention to black, classic doors. By combining such doors with wallpaper in warm colors, you can achieve beautiful and impressive results.
When you choose black tones for your interior, you can emphasize it by making one of the walls completely black. This will give the interior a feeling of complete completion.
Sizes and shape of tiles
Available in various sizes and shapes. With the right combination, you can achieve a visual expansion of the corridor or correct errors after renovation. The shape of the tiles is square, rectangular, hexagonal, and curly.
Rough tile installation takes less time, but fewer joints provide a cleaner finish. Small tiles reduce the amount of trimming work and make small patterns attractive.
Based on the technical and decorative characteristics of the material, the problems of a specific room and its arrangement are solved.
Expansion of space in a narrow corridor is achieved:
- Striped tiles with alternating light and dark lines;
- Finished with large sized tiles in shades of blue, gray, brown;
- Using bright glossy tiles;
- Using the same materials at the intersection of the corridor with other rooms;
- Zoning the space through a combination of different materials;
- A combination of black and white tiles or highlighting light and dark areas.
Techniques for arranging spacious rooms:
- Use of figured and metlakh tiles in the form of a mosaic;
- Application of large tiles with a three-dimensional pattern;
- Laying carpets with mosaics on the sides in the center of the room.
In the hallway, tiles of higher density and resistance to detergents are used. The place for meeting guests is decorated in the form of a colorful carpet or ornamental motifs.
Decor with imitation wood, laminate, marble, granite, onyx will add originality to the interior, and geometric patterns will add aristocracy.
Based on the characteristics of each type of tile and decorative effect, it is necessary to determine its position on the surface.
Dark solutions for the floor in the hallway
Black colors are often used to create floors in the hallway. This simply gives rise to a huge variety of different design options for subfloors.
But making a monolithic black floor is not recommended.
Every speck of dust on such a floor will be visible as on the negative of developed photographs. The best way out of this situation would be to use a textured floor or a combination of different colors.
In the second case, these solutions will help:
- floor tiles or laminate, in the style of a chessboard;
- multi-colored herringbone laminate;
Using very dark tones leads to a much wider range of ideas:
- Self-leveling floors;
- parquet or laminate in dark colors;
- linoleum;
- tile.
Lighting
For a laconic interior – laconic light sources. This requirement meets:
- Sconces in Art Nouveau style - with or without lampshades;
- Spotlights;
- Rectangular panels.
If there is a table, table lamps can be used. But you shouldn’t overload the space even with useful items. It is better to limit yourself to a general lighting system, which can be two or three sconces, four “points” or one or two panels.
It should be noted that panels and spotlights can be placed at the junction of the ceiling and walls or above the front door. A stylish black hallway is guaranteed in any case. The main thing is that the load-bearing and diffusing parts of the lamps are of the same color (light-colored structures themselves are interesting against a black background).
The windows inside the black hallway are a real success. The fact is that glazing allows you to see the interior of the room during daylight hours without using electricity. All that remains is to frame the windows accordingly - with vertical blinds or sliding curtains. Both options should be light and one or two colors. The windows themselves can be either wooden or plastic.
Black walls
Before making the walls in the hallway black, you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons, since this decision may not turn out for the better.
With enough contrast, you can create a stylish black hallway, but only if you use no more than one or two additional tones.
In a situation where all the furniture is quite light in color and is kept in the same color scheme, you can safely glue black wallpaper.
If all the furniture is too dark, it is better to stick dark wallpaper on only one of the walls. In general, the color of other parts of the room can be absolutely any, the main thing is to maintain the correct brightness.
Also, some people are thinking about creating a glossy black hallway; such walls are completely inappropriate.
A black wall should be matte with deep color. If you decide to use paint instead of ready-made wallpaper, then you can add a couple of drops of lilac color to it to create more depth of color.
Choosing a shade
The depth of black depends on the surface you choose. The more the material you place on the walls absorbs light, the more saturated and deep it will be. Black glossy hallways are obtained by applying paint to prepared walls.
If you want to achieve a matte finish, use graphite paint, which covers the wood slab in several layers. In addition, you can write on such a graphite wall with chalk. Or buy paintable wallpaper, the relief of which will complement the overall picture of the interior.
To achieve harmony in the colors of the hallway, designers advise:
Old-style apartments cannot boast of a large area of rooms, so using black in the decoration would be a mistake. It will only visually make the hallway smaller. To avoid this, black can be present in the color of furniture, picture frames, and small side inserts.
If there is insufficient lighting, it is recommended to widen the doorways by removing the jamb or making an arch to give more opportunity for light to enter the room. Volumetric spaces today are a trend that will continue to develop.
The black design of the hallway must be diluted with light furniture. Roughly speaking, the deeper the shade of the finishing materials, the lighter the doors and other objects in the room should be.
Black color goes well with gold, silver, and glass. Keep this in mind when choosing accessories.
Your hallway should not be cluttered with a large number of accessories, and cabinets cannot eat up the lion's share of the space. Give preference to open shelves, hangers, hooks located directly on the wall and cabinets for bags.
The best combination is obtained in the styles of minimalism and hi-tech. This is where design shines at its best.
The light of a light bulb on black will be perfectly visible and create an accent of yellow or white light. Keep this in mind and immediately think about how acceptable it will be to have yellow in your interior.

Little black... coupe
Speaking about black furniture in the interior of a dressing room, I would like to start with sliding wardrobes. It is this piece of furniture that is a priority if the corridor is not large. The technical purpose of the hallway does not allow us to seriously consider options for open shelving or shelves, and cabinets with opening doors are a waste of space
.
A black wardrobe can fit into the interior of the hallway, even if there are no other pieces of furniture in this color scheme. The glossy black facade will fit perfectly into any light background
, becoming a kind of “black square”. Once you are sure that this color scheme looks impressive, you can add a few more dark spots: a black ottoman or small armchair, a mirror in a black frame or an umbrella stand.
Hidden possibilities of white
The snow-white palette will allow you to arrange both modern furniture and antiques. Wall structures will be an excellent backdrop for contrasting and unusual objects. And in combination with large mirrors, you can blur all the created boundaries.
Dark shades will look advantageous on a light palette. It is better to purchase light furniture, sophisticated ceilings, metal objects - all this will add warmth, light and clarity in detail.
For example, a white and black hallway is a version of a modern classic and offers any solutions in matters of layout and decor.
Create geometric proportions with an unusual interior.
Some corridors, decorated in snow-white shades, should be more contrasting; for this it is necessary to use several accents.
For example, one dark wall with a white border, or do the opposite, it will be very successful and stylish. On this wall you can hang paintings, photo frames and other decorative elements.
The next option would be to decorate a classic interior with various stucco moldings. It can become the main key if everything is done correctly.
If you need unusual white furniture for the hallway, then buy a white cabinet and place it near a crepe or peach surface.
