Let's look at the approaches to it in Moscow and Swiss cities. Many people ask me, why Switzerland? Because in terms of the level of comfort, infrastructure achievements, and high standards of quality of life, it is difficult to find any other place. Very important point is that these are honest achievements, since we are talking about standards for the entire country and its inhabitants. Therefore, I will try to cover ordinary housing. This article applies not only to Moscow, but also to all other cities of the Russian Federation and other countries. The question is not about money, but about the approach and what we want to achieve as a result.
This article is a continuation "Entrances, courtyards and visual housing and communal services in the Zurich Metropolis, as bright and good example Moscow."

Switzerland. Entrance to the most ordinary house far beyond the boundaries of large and wealthy cities. A factory-made door in a serious enterprise with modern technologies and materials. Everything is thought out here. The handle is made of stainless steel, which means it is durable and does not need to be painted. It is large, vandal-proof, it is securely fastened, it is impossible to break it. That is, this pen is designed specifically for front door in an apartment building. And she looks chic with her minimalist style.
The larva is covered with an armor plate. The door, although metal, has glass. Modern approaches have long made it possible to make a completely glass door from impenetrable glass. At the same time, the approach will acquire a feeling of elegance and openness. Pay attention to the floor - granite covering. It is granite that is an eternal material, unlike various tiles that are actively used in Moscow for finishing everything - the entrances of residential buildings, facades, and finishing porches. The tile is used for interior works only a few mm thick. And this is in our climate. It’s no wonder that Moscow today is full of falling tiles, which first crumble and then fall off in pieces or entirely. What's good about a renovation like this? Why can’t we learn thoroughness from the Swiss, because we once had it too?
Inside, a familiar picture awaits us. A sea of hanging wires, crooked walls, worn-out staircase steps, etc. This entrance, like many others, is under renovation. What is it? Closing entrance doors, puttying, painting, possible replacement of mailboxes. Part of the top is already painted.
This is what putty looks like. It’s better not to do it in this form at all. Definitely, if you take on this task, you first need to make the geometry of the room, align the walls, make right angles. That's what Rotband is for. Next you need to fill it with finishing putty. It must be applied completely to the entire surface to be painted, which is why it is white. Maybe at least the paint is good?
Unfortunately no. Would anyone really buy this for their home? There is Caparol, Dulux and even better - beautiful, high-quality, durable and clean paint. The colors are also terrible. But you just can’t mix paint like this good color, it initially cannot convey it, unlike German or English.
The entrance doors were closed during painting, but what about the rest? What to do with this now, as well as with the accuracy of painting work in general?
But, of course, it was necessary to start with a project, with engineering communications. All this mess needs to be cleaned up. And this is in every home. Nobody wants to care about the appearance of the place where they live. How to fix? To do this, make grooves and run wiring in the corrugations. This is how it is usually done. Let's say the building is exceptional, but you can at least make one box under the ceiling, and then cover it with plasterboard and paint it. And put small wires in grooves. Another problem is dim light. It’s not even possible to humanly remove such an entrance.
It’s interesting that any good transformation begins with the fact that you need to throw out everything unnecessary - some physically, and some visually hidden, like with wiring.
This Swiss entrance. There is ideal geometry, neatly painted walls (of course, with high-quality paint and more than one layer). The steps and floor are paved with granite tiles. Such an entrance will serve for decades, and the repair will consist of just repainting the walls and it will always look fantastic, that’s what we should strive for))). Do you see the wires here? Of course, they do not exist, cannot and should not exist. The disadvantage is the lack of handrails.
It is possible to assume that this new house, but in the old ones it’s different. Let's get a look.
The house is very old and does not belong to the category of luxury housing, but everything here is as it should be. The geometry of the walls is correct, the staircase is carefully painted (when painting, each old layer is carefully removed so that there is no sandwich from a dozen other layers), of course, there are no wires on the walls and ceilings, as well as traces of repairs in the form of smudges and surfaces stained with paint.
Entrance to the entrance of another house. Transparent doors (once there were such in the USSR...), clean, simple and tidy.
Many attentive readers may have noticed old mailboxes. The maximum that they face is replacement with these, “new models” made according to the standards of... the 1920s.
Isn't there any other way? Can.
In a good way, it should be like this, if this is really the second decade of the 21st century...
These mailboxes are made in Switzerland from aluminum. By the way, a significant amount of raw materials for Swiss industry are extracted from garbage, so that they can then make such wonderful things for their infrastructure. In order to master this production, you need to master aluminum extrusion. But then you can make trolleybuses after the boxes, which they do with success (about them in my previous articles about HESS AG). What is the problem with taking a license and launching such production here? Aluminum is a durable material, it does not need to be painted, it is always pleasing to the eye, and the drawers close as nicely as the doors of expensive cars. Of course, drawers are the very last thing to repair, because first you need to deal with other problems.
Let's look at an example of the renovation of one of the entrances in Switzerland.
Condition before renovation. Let's see the details.
Kids, just like ours, love to vandalize. Not very successful attempts to paint over the inscriptions are visible (the Swiss are lucky, unlike Moscow, they have not yet learned to paint over even granite surfaces instead of washing them). The elevator is in a sad state. This is an old model without internal closing doors from the Swiss Schlieren factory. Today the plant no longer exists, it went bankrupt and today there is only one elevator manufacturer in the country - Schindler. Together with the German TyssenKrupp, these 2 factories are today the best manufacturers of elevator equipment in the world! We need to take a license and build such factories in the Russian Federation. This is what you need to think about first.
More about Schindler 
Let's see the details. We see that the wall covering is the so-called “fur coat”. Just not the old one, but the new generation. Carefully executed, impeccable work. Such a fur coat allows you to maximally protect the walls from minor damage and abrasion. With friction, only the upper “pebbles” are erased, that is, the wall generally retains its appearance. The Swiss chose the cutest type of fur coat.
There is granite on the floor, it is as easy as possible to clean, and on the side we can see a well-laid border, of course, without paint smudges. The rule “clean where there is no litter” does not always work, since I would like to emphasize once again that such a floor and conditions will always promote cleanliness, since cleaning is most effective even with minimal effort.
I would like to compare the budgets of Moscow and Geneva as an example. Of course, the comparison is efficiency, not total amounts - how much per 100,000 inhabitants.
Moscow 11"600"000 citizens - CHF 49"780 Mio (USD 52,400 Mio) = 429 Mio for 100"000 citizens
Geneve 200"000 citizens - CHF 1"100 Mio = 550 Mio for 100"000 citizens
That is, in francs 429 million in Moscow versus 550 in Geneva. Considering the huge difference in minimum wages, as well as the most severe conditions and standards of Switzerland, one thing can be said - money does not buy happiness))). Everything can be done with any budget, if there is a desire.
In modern apartment buildings, a lot of attention is paid to the design of both the local area and the territory common use. After all, most of the houses, even those oriented towards the economy class, try to get ahead of their competitors as much as possible, offering more and positioning themselves as more comfortable and profitable housing. Often one of the elements is the design of the entrance, which is very important for many residents. It is from this that one can judge how often and to what extent cleaning is done, what the general mood of the house is, and how elite it is. These points cannot be neglected. And precisely in order to show status and high cost, the entrances are dealt with very closely and seriously. When coming to view an apartment, residents pay attention to all the little details and the surrounding environment, which they will have to see every day. This is why it is so important to create the most comfortable entrance possible. People want to distance themselves from the image of a gray Soviet entrance. It is associated with dirt, repeatedly repainted walls with peeling paint, and other troubles. Our design
entrances creates a completely unusual image that corresponds to a modern style, which is more like the hall and corridors of an expensive hotel, in which it is a pleasure to be. Before starting work, we always draw up design project, which reflects all the little details of the future interior. This is important for a general understanding of what will happen in the end and what advantages this image will have. Sometimes some homeowners try to create their own atmosphere in each entrance. Your own story, which can be told to residents, and which will be part of the culture of living in the house. This not only brings residents together, but also makes them treat common areas with greater respect. Our company will transform any entrance. The design and photos of such a transformation are in our portfolio. Even in the most ordinary panel house You can create a design that will be different from others, will appeal to the residents to culture and will be pleasant to look at. You will always want to return to such a house, and moreover, you will want to love and respect it, as well as the work of those who work on its cleanliness and order.
Entrance design for an apartment building
Entrance design apartment building begins with an analysis of what already exists. And what should happen in the end. For example, competent design can hide many of the shortcomings of a room. If the ceiling is low and the windows are narrow, then the ideal solution would be light tiles that reflect the slightest ray of sun, and a large number of lighting at night. In the case of curved walls, you can use fake diamond, behind which no irregularities will be visible. If desired, you can modernize the steps and railings, or leave some of their elements if they are of historical value. For every project, whenever needed
To create a design project for an entrance, we approach it individually, making sure to coordinate all changes with the customer and recommend the best option in the given situation. The design of the entrance vestibule also plays a significant role, since it is the first thing the person entering sees. It should be cozy and spacious, so that two people walking in different directions can easily turn around. We take into account all these features and create designs that amaze with their practicality and magnificence. With our professional approach, the design of the entrance will not only be modern and beautiful, but also luxurious, bright, joyful and majestic.
Entrance design for an apartment building, entrance design for a residential building
When meeting a person, they are assessed by appearance, the same can be said about housing - the first thing that catches your eye is the entrance and its condition. Permanent residents, willy-nilly, have to see their entrance almost every day. If it is in well-maintained condition, this is of course good, but in many Soviet apartment buildings, no particular repairs were done during operation. With the right approach to this matter, it is worth creating a design project for the entrance. When creating a design project, specialists develop a design plan for the following elements of the entrance:
1. Walls. There are two key factors worth highlighting here: color and materials. The color scheme is selected depending on the illumination of the entrance. Most often these are warm and bright hues. If your entrance is not protected from unwanted entry of strangers, then it is worth considering the protection of the walls from vandalism - covering with rigid impact-resistant materials (usually only the lower part of the walls).
2. Ceilings. Usually, when designing entrances, they take into account the required number, location and type of lamps
TO decorative design rarely come running.
3. Railing. Despite their visual insignificance, they actually play a vital role in helping elderly and physically weak people when moving. The main factor is strength characteristics. When installing new or repairing existing railings and handrails, specialists check them for load and, if necessary, strengthen them further using structural forces.
4. Floors. A suitable one is selected flooring material under a specific entrance. When designing an entrance, they mainly use the floor ceramic tiles for the street. After all, this room has an aggressive environment, since more people walk on these tiles than in an apartment.
The artistic design of the entrance of a residential building using drawings on the walls is gaining popularity, but you have to pay a lot of money for creativity. The design of the entrance to an apartment building is modern approach to a comfortable and beautiful life. We also recommend that you read the section.
The ransom is an interesting wedding tradition that has its roots in the deep past. The groom's thorny path to his beloved often begins at the entrance of a high-rise building: unfortunately, shabby and painted walls look far from festive, so the issue of decoration is more relevant than ever. How to decorate the entrance before the ransom? - let's figure it out.
Decoration of the entrance to the wedding entrance
A gloomy and unpleasant metal door will not put anyone in a good mood; it is often decorated with unpleasant inscriptions and strange paintings by courtyard artists, so your task is to bring the entrance into a divine appearance. The easiest way is balloons; you can use them to make intricate compositions or simply hang them in a chaotic manner. It is recommended to use no more than 3 colors.
Another thing is holiday posters and paper applications. Cheap and cheerful. These can be floral ornaments, funny collages, photoshops, a code of rules for the groom, and wish poems. You can also use colored crayons, but swear to your neighbors that you will wash everything off.
You shouldn’t be too zealous, your task is banal: to hide the dirt and lack of repairs and at the same time create a minimal ambience. Further more!
Entrance steps
Of course, no one has the right to demand a red carpet from you, but if you have come up with tests during which the groom will have to come into contact with the floor, at least cover it with homespun rugs, which are not needed in the house, and it would be a pity to throw it away. You can also use light, cheap fabric for these purposes.
Applications made from paper or foil also look stylish: hearts, daisies, stars, small confetti, etc.! Inexpensive, but interesting way transform boring gray steps.
You can decorate the stairs with stencil designs, rose petals, and burning candles. Lay out funny quests, wishes and signs, arrange floral arrangements: even ordinary plants in pots will give the stairs a completely different look.
If the bride lives high up, the elevator will also need to be decorated: even minimal decor from balloons and artificial plants will give it a well-groomed look. If the walls look really creepy, you can stick strips of wallpaper using double-sided tape: but the bride won’t have to worry about the safety of her outfit.
Decorating the staircase railing
Most often, railings are decorated with light fabrics, artificial flowers, colorful balloons. You can make your own paper garlands, hang satin ribbons and bows. Additional accessories include electric garlands, banners, LED strips, but such equipment cannot be called cheap, and it is unlikely to be worth it.
pay attention to color scheme, best options - pastel shades With bright accents, which will not irritate the eye.
How to decorate the walls of a wedding entrance
All kinds of collages will look great: comic drawings, congratulations, funny parting words: they are easily attached with double-sided tape and do not spoil the surface of the wall.
You can also experiment with photographs of the newlyweds: make a garland of drawings, starting with children’s ones and ending with joint ones. In computer editors, go a little crazy: for example, try on unusual images or attach the heads of newlyweds to the bodies of fairy-tale creatures.
If you know an artist, that’s great; he can design the wedding newspaper. You can cut out the initials or names of the newlyweds, words of congratulations from colored cardboard, make funny garlands (from old wallpaper, postcards, newspapers), the shape can be arbitrary - from crescents and rings to flags and angels. At least cut out the bats! - as long as it matches the style of the buyout.
The bride's door is decorated with balloons, flowers, and ribbons. You can make a beautiful wreath from branches or wildflowers, or make an unusual arch. You can place figures of the bride and groom made from balloons on the landing, and later use them to decorate the banquet hall. On the window sills landing put flowers in pots.
It happens that jewelry may not be useful at all if the groom happens to be particularly creative. For example, like this:
Be that as it may, the process of decorating the entrance itself should not be complicated or cause a lot of trouble. There is no need to decorate it with greenhouse flowers or exquisite figurines: everything should be simple, cute and tasteful!

Entrance decoration for a wedding. Decorating and decorating ideas
It is impossible to hold a wedding without capturing the happy faces of the newlyweds and invited guests. The presence of a photographer or videographer at the celebration has become a tradition. And the bride price and a whole set of funny tests for the groom are a custom rooted in the deep past. But unlike the ancient Russian customs of ransom, which began at the entrance to a village or village, modern grooms go through a thorny path to their favorite, climbing the steps of the entrances. And wedding photos against the backdrop of shabby walls are far from the most picturesque sight.
How to decorate on your wedding day own entrance usually thought of by the bride and her bridesmaids at a bachelorette party. And right on the day of the celebration, from early morning they begin decorating the walls, floor and ceiling. However, there are always companies that offer a similar service for a fee.
How and what to decorate the entrance to a wedding
Not everyone can boast of renovations on all floors and a clean elevator. apartment house. Let's look at how to add solemnity and hide existing defects with decorations.
Each entrance begins with a door. The front entrance decorated with a garland of balloons or fabric drapery looks very elegant. But, if such a volumetric design is unacceptable, you can decorate the walls and the door itself with colored posters with funny inscriptions and wishes, paper and cardboard figures with traditional wedding symbols (including individual cardboard letters). The most modest decoration can be a wide silk ribbon and a tiny bouquet of flowers, fixed on a door handle or a decorative wreath of flowers, leaves, sweets, etc. However, you can combine all of the above, not forgetting about a sense of proportion and style, then the groom simply will not have a chance to drive past without recognizing his fiancée’s house.
Balloons, both helium and ordinary ones, always create an atmosphere of celebration and fun. You can combine a variety of shades or choose 1-2 contrasting colors and decorate the entrance with them.
Helium balloons look beautiful tied with colored ribbons to the railings of staircases or released right up to the ceiling. Balloons filled with ordinary air can be arranged into flowers by tying 4-5 balls together and securing them to railings and walls with ribbons or double-sided tape. To make the compositions more successful, you should use balloons different sizes– large for “petals” and small for “cores”.
Our parents decorated the entrances with traditional posters drawn on large Whatman paper back in the days of their weddings. But it is precisely such decorations that most completely hide the shortcomings on the walls. An alternative to outdated posters are ready-made posters from stores, as well as homemade letters and words (for example, Love) on separate sheets of paper of any size. Simply print them out and secure them with double-sided tape. Don't forget to pay off your grumpy neighbors with candy and a couple of glasses of alcohol.
Garlands are an inexpensive and creative decoration. They are not difficult to make yourself from fabrics, paper, cardboard, tulle. You can hang garlands not only along the walls, but also on the windows, as well as across flights of stairs, blocking the groom’s path to his beloved.
How to decorate a railing? It’s very simple - secure drapes made of organza, tulle, ordinary gauze or other fabric with ribbons, add some bows, balls, flower bouquets or wrap the railings with colored ribbons.
One of the most creative options is to hang tiny vases (medicine bottles, used light bulbs, glass baby food bottles) with fresh flowers on the railings.
Video - Buying the bride and decorating the entrance to the wedding
Of course, making repairs on all floors of the entrance before the wedding is expensive and pointless. Yes, and decorate absolutely all the spans too. It is enough just to transform the front door, the first floor and the staircase in front of the door of the bride’s apartment so that the redemption event is fun and unusual, and the wedding photographs do not show random inscriptions on the walls or peeled paint.
It is recommended to wash or sweep the entrance floors, and then either cover them with a carpet or sprinkle them with rose petals, confetti and sparkles. Paper signs on the steps will tell the groom how close he is to his goal, and colored hearts and stars will add romance and a festive atmosphere. To everything else, add a little imagination, a large share common sense and a sense of proportion, do not forget about the sense of style and those ransom competitions that you will prepare for your loved one.
Our home does not begin from the threshold of the apartment. It starts much earlier - at the entrance. And if the apartment is a cozy nest, then the entrance, the common property of all residents, often looks different. And what to hide, many, many can only dream of a clean entrance without inscriptions.
As many residents of city high-rise buildings are familiar with the sad picture of the state of our entrances: walls painted in dull colors and almost immediately peeling off, painted with vulgar inscriptions and painted with obscene drawings. Dirty steps bad smell, broken light bulbs and a dirty elevator. In general, there is a heavy aura that we involuntarily carry into our apartments upon returning from work. It turns out that instead of a normal rest after working day we receive a charge of negative energy from a short stay in our entrance.
Many residents do not want to put up with this. They organize initiative groups of active residents and with their own hands put the entrance area in order, simultaneously decorating it as much as possible. It turns out that it is not at all as difficult as it seems, you just have to want it. Well, enlist the support of the administration of management companies and members of the HOA boards. Some people take the liberty of decorating the entrance alone, but then you need to be prepared for additional difficulties.
First of all, it is necessary for the person in charge to take the initiative and organize a group of activists who will begin to restore order. Looking at them, the rest of the residents will also join in. At the first stage, you need to tackle the walls: peel old paint and whitewashing, leveling the walls and painting them or whitewashing them in bright and cheerful colors, installing metal doors with combination locks. Such work is carried out by specialized organizations that are hired by the HOA or management company. IN in this case initiative, unfortunately, is punishable, so such work should not be done independently.
Decoration of staircases
With a clean and tidy entrance, sooner or later thoughts arise about how to decorate the entrance to the house. To do this, you don’t need to invent something supernatural, everything is very simple: first you need to invite your neighbors and discuss with them the upcoming events to improve the entrance. A common cause brings people together, many interesting and unexpected ideas appear.
At a meeting of residents, the issue of decorating walls and placing flowers in the common area should have been raised. If flowers and paintings usually do not cause objections among the living, then graffiti on the walls can cause active protest among some conservative-minded people, and this issue must be discussed. It is advisable to keep minutes of the meeting, at which all those present will sign in agreement with the discussed design of the entrance.
We offer several ideas for decorating the entrance. Perhaps our readers will also like something: older people will prefer a cozy entrance with rugs and chairs on the platforms; those who are younger may like more stylish ideas.
1. Decorating the walls
If you have received the consent of your neighbors to decorate the walls, then you can start decorating them. There are several options. The first is for those who have artists, not necessarily professional ones, living in their building. The walls of the entrance, which have become an art gallery, will be cherished by both residents and guests.
For this purpose, you can also attract students from an art school or any studio folk art. If there are no residents who know how to draw, then the walls are decorated by drawing on cells or using stencils. Another option – posters – is ideal for those who prefer modern styles registration
2. Windows
After decorating the walls, we will begin decorating the windows. After washing the glass and frames, you should, if necessary, touch up the peeling frames and window sills. Decorative curtains made of bright fabrics that are made independently are hung on the windows.
3. Flowers
Posters and flowers will become a laconic decoration. Flowers can be placed on window sills, on the floor, in flowerpots or on racks. Unpretentious flowers that can survive in artificial lighting and low temperature. These can be small trees - hibiscus, ficus, dracaena, or small, compact plants - begonias, oxalis, chlorophytums, tradescantia, ivy.
4. Elevator
Let's not forget about the common area - the elevator. It must also be clean. Decorations include a practical mirror, lighting and posters.
5. Entrance-museum
In cities, people know little about their neighbors. Therefore, you may be surprised that special people live or lived next to us. Among the elderly neighbors there will be those who will willingly share stories from the life of the entrance. One of the design themes can be a museum, as in this video.
6. Holidays
On special days you want to transform everything around you. We will offer several ideas on how to decorate the entrance to your home for the New Year holidays.
Restrictions
It is worth remembering that cabinets, large flower pots and carpets should not be placed in hallways, as these items will violate fire safety and may interfere with the evacuation of residents in case of fire.
So, let's summarize some results. To maintain cleanliness and order in the entrance you have designed, the following actions are necessary:
It is advisable to carry out all these activities if there is a metal doors With combination lock, excluding the appearance of strangers in the territory you have decorated. To maintain cleanliness and order, it is necessary to periodically hold cleanup days, attracting the maximum number of residents. All your actions should be coordinated with representatives of the management company or HOA.
