The first thing anyone entering an apartment sees is the hallway. Even if a person does not cross the threshold of the house, he will form his impressions of the owner and his home based on the appearance of the hallway.

That is why the design of the hallway must be carried out especially carefully.

Especially important element, capable of transforming, expanding, modifying space, is a mirror in the hallway.

Due to the competent selection and placement of mirrors, the correct supply of light and the transformation of space are achieved.

Types of mirrors

Depending on which mirror is chosen and how it is placed in the interior of the hallway, you can create a certain visual effect.

It can completely change the appearance of the hallway. As a rule, the following variations of mirrors are used to decorate and modify space:

• A mirror on the wall in the hallway is the most common type, simple to attach and use.
• A wall mirror is often framed in various materials(metal, plastic, wood).

To enhance decorative effect The mirror is complemented with various designs made using sandblasting technology. Often a mirror with a shelf is mounted on the wall in the hallway. This achieves maximum practicality of this decorative element.

Only a large room can afford a mirror on the floor in the hallway, or it must be mobile and, if necessary, removed completely.

This option will definitely be framed and equipped with a stable stand. The crossbars of the stand will not only allow you to maintain the balance of the mirror, but will allow you to change its orientation in space.

A wardrobe with a mirror in the hallway has become increasingly popular lately. In this case, there is no need to select additional space or install a separate element.

By purchasing a cabinet containing a mirror, several problems are solved at once - the storage system is complemented, the need for narcissism is satisfied, the appearance hallway

Particularly popular are sliding wardrobes with one or more doors made in the form of a mirror surface. This decision is completely justified, because a large mirror in the hallway will never be superfluous.

Each of these options is attractive in its own way and applicable depending on the situation. Firstly, it is worth considering the size of the hallway and its layout.

It is possible that the dimensions will not allow you to build in a cabinet; a wall mirror will not fit due to the presence of a furniture group. Then you should give preference to a corner mirror in the hallway, located in the furniture composition.

Mirror shape and orientation

Depending on personal preferences, mirrors can be purchased in various shapes and orientations in space. They can be rectangular, round or unusual in shape and placed horizontally or vertically.

Most often, mirrors mounted in furniture have rectangular shape. This option is easier to combine with furniture. In addition, such a form can play with space: expand, open “the door to another dimension.”

It is believed that a round mirror has some mystical properties: it calms, relaxes, and drives away bad looks.

The harmonious shape of a circle in combination with a reflective mirror surface is designed to give the energy of the sun and instill calm. The fashionable trend of Feng Shui recommends a round shape as a mirror for the hallway. Such a surface helps restore and improve vitality.

Mirrors of irregular shape are usually used in non-standard interiors. Designers often use similar techniques to diversify a boring space.

Horizontal orientation allows you to visually expand the room. However, do not forget that such a technique is only permissible with a significant ceiling height, since when expanding, the mirror slightly lowers the height limits.

This orientation of mirrors fits perfectly into any stylistic direction of the interior.

Vertically oriented ones, on the contrary, visually raise the height of the room and, in addition, elongate the silhouette. A full-length mirror located vertically allows you to view yourself in the most complete way.

After looking at photos of mirrors in the hallway, you can form your own opinion about the visual effects of shapes and arrangements.

The design of a mirror in the hallway can be very diverse. Framing with all kinds of frames, applying drawings, adding decorative and functional elements, backlight.

Often the mirrors of the doors of built-in wardrobes are decorated not just with a locally located pattern, but with extensive decoration. This technique allows you to significantly diversify the interior.

The functionality of the mirror itself deteriorates somewhat, but if such a picture complements one door, and the adjacent one is completed in a standard way, then the reception can be considered optimal.

Often a mirror with a shelf is installed in the hallway. This helps the ergonomics of using small things and expands the functionality of the meager hallway space.

Photo of a mirror in the hallway

Hallways of small dimensions for modern apartment buildings– rather the rule than the exception. With the design, there is nowhere to turn around in a small area. The situation will be saved by a mirror in the hallway, without which it is simply impossible to imagine the design of the hallway. It is necessary so that, finally, when leaving the apartment, you can evaluate the appearance. Place the necessary small items on a model with a shelf. Place scarves, hats, and gloves on the dressing table. But dressing tables, pouffes, and chests of drawers are quite cumbersome. A mirror in the hallway is not only practical, but also beautiful. Hanged correctly, it can elevate a boring, run-of-the-mill design into something stylistically interesting.

Choosing the right mirror for the hallway is not an easy task. Take into account overall design apartments, the area of ​​a small hallway, lighting, chosen color, existing furniture (shoe rack, dressing table, chest of drawers, wardrobe).

For those who doubt their ability to design, it is better to choose from ready-made headsets. A wall-mounted model with a shelf, several hooks, a clothes hanger, a shoe cabinet and an ottoman fits most interiors.

For others a few general rules. How to choose mirrors for the hallway:

• A good solution for a small hallway is a model on a stand. If necessary, it can be quickly removed. Great alternative dressing table;
• A mirror in the hallway is beautiful, but you shouldn’t go overboard with them. An excessive number of reflections from different angles in a small area is disorienting, has a depressing effect on the psyche and is slightly frightening. One big one is better than many mini mirrors;
• the minimum size of the mirror in the hallway where you will see the reflection is 25*35 cm. Reflection up to the waist – with a size of 45*70 cm, full height – 65*130 cm;
• is there a window? Hang mirrors in the hallway on the opposite wall, but not exactly opposite. Direct sunlight damages the reflective surface; the item will have to be replaced soon;
• frames of similar style are selected for canvas of different shapes. How more non-standard form, the simpler the frame. And vice versa;
• hallway mirrors visually expand narrow walls, focus attention on the color of the wall where they hang, and help visually “even out” uneven walls and ceilings. If one wall is very bright color, hang it there. The shade will become softer and more muted.

Frames

The frame is important, it supports the style concept, a unified design:

• Baroque style hallway mirrors with a massive stucco frame are self-sufficient. The rest of the accessories are simple and concise, not creating excessive pomp;
• the option with a flat, smooth frame looks beautiful on a wall covered with metallic paint;
• metal or black plastic frame indispensable if the design defines the style of avant-garde, minimalism, hi-tech;
• extravagant and effective solution for a spacious, bright hallway - a frame made of mirror cloth;
• massive frame made of natural wood will visually reduce the surface area, adding weight to the atmosphere;
• a rattan frame decorated with mother-of-pearl, smooth stones, leather - a mirror solution for a hallway in an ethnic or ecological style;
• a simple large wall or built-in canvas without a frame is ideal for the Art Nouveau style.

Wall mounted

The wall mirror is mounted on a hook on the wall, which is perfectly demonstrated in the photo. The most common shape is a rectangle or circle. Size – from mini to full wall. There are options with and without a frame. The latest technology is a matte pattern on the surface of the mirror, made using sandblasting technology.

Hanged horizontally on the wall, it visually expands the hallway wall. But the ceiling will “lower” slightly. The solution looks original. A full-height vertical wall hanging is suitable for a hallway. You may want to examine yourself before you go out.

Floor

Floor-standing models for hallways are always framed; a special stand allows you to change the angle of inclination. The design takes up quite a lot of space, but it can be moved and deployed without any problems, viewing yourself from any angle. This is more convenient than several sections of a dressing table.

The most common shape is a narrow rectangle or a very elongated oval. The model is ideal for a spacious, well-lit hallway.

Built-in

Built-in models, which can be viewed in the photo selection, carry an increased functional load. The most common option is “full-length canvas like a wardrobe door.” No less popular is the canvas built into the wall panel, built over a chest of drawers, cabinet or pouf. A dressing table or trellis, which are collected in a selection of photos, look good. The most simple design– full-length mirrors in the hallway with a small shelf on top.

Their area is quite large. Therefore, we must not forget about regular cleaning. Any dirt looks ugly. But a visually expanded hallway, flooded with light, is worth spending a little time and effort.

With shelf

Mirrors for the hallway with a small shelf at waist level or slightly higher allow you not to forget about the necessary little things when leaving the house - keys, gloves, phone, comb. The most common model is in a baguette or wooden frame, to which is attached a shelf strong enough to support the weight of anything placed on it.

Such full-length mirrors are not allowed into the hallway. Therefore, when hanging it, you need to take into account that you will need to step back a couple of steps to get a good look at yourself. The light also needs to be bright. You can hang mirrors for a hallway with a shelf either vertically or horizontally. The first option, shown in the photo, is preferable because you can see yourself in full height.

Backlit

Mirrors in the hallway with lighting are the most popular solution included in the design of this room. Often hallways are designed in such a way that it is impossible to combat dim lighting and darkness. Instead of yourself, even when you get close, you can only see a vague shadow.

Of course, you can place a couple of sconces or wall lamps next to the dressing table or mirror in the hallway, but it is not always possible to install electricity or choose lamps that suit the style small size and place them so that the light does not blind your eyes.

Special lighting in hallway mirrors consists of point light sources, bulbs that are bright but not harsh on the eyes. They are placed on top, on both sides of it or just above the top corner, which is perfectly demonstrated by the photo. In addition to being comfortable to look at, even at full height, this option can visually correct the shape of a long narrow hallway. Hang it on one of the narrow walls and a lamp on the opposite one.

Decorative mini mirrors

Hallway design rarely includes mini-mirrors. And when it does, it assigns them a purely decorative function. Indeed, you won’t be able to see yourself in full height in this mini version, but this is not a reason to refuse a very stylish, elegant and graceful accessory, like the mirror in the photo.

On the wall of a small hallway you can hang 2-3 mini-mirrors of the same shape and size. It is better to focus on the unusual frame of mini-mirrors.

Compositions made from mini-mirrors look amazingly impressive on the wall of a large room, reminiscent of an exhibition of paintings. different shapes with identical frames, reminiscent of panels. You can hang mini-mirrors not only on hooks, but also on ropes.

Antique mirrors

Antique mirrors in the hallway, especially with an authentic frame, look defiantly chic. They cost an incredible amount of money, even at the mini size. The whole dressing table or trellis is not even worth talking about.

Therefore, lovers of retro and vintage styles can build a design based on an artificially aged version. A mirror with rare spots of patina gives a good effect. It also gives the atmosphere a touch of mystery and understatement, which is perfectly demonstrated by photo examples. Choose the appropriate dressing table or stand for the wall mirror. He doesn't need a frame.

From artificially aged mirror cloth you can cut a frame for modern mirror. Vintage will be created by an antique frame if you complement the design with furniture of a similar style from the same type of wood.
