Small bright hallway with thoughtful storage

This modern hallway was designed by interior designer Ksenia Stepanenko for a family with two children. The main task was to provide plenty of storage and create a beautiful, comfortable living space.

Originally, the hallway was elongated in shape. As a result of the reconfiguration, it was divided into two parts: an entrance zone and a corridor that can be accessed through the living room. For floor finishing, ceramic granite in the shade of "light wood" was used, and on the walls — light washable paint. The entire apartment's interior is done in modern classic style, so the design was completed with cornices and moldings.

The suspended console is made in a similar design to the furniture in the rooms. A small functional footstool was chosen in the same shade as the dining room chairs. It is equipped with a lid and a storage box. The wall behind the console is decorated with a sheet of metal in the shade of "bronze." It became a bright decorative element and helped visually zone the room.

A large mirror on the left side upon entering visually elongates the ceiling height and allows seeing oneself and assessing one's appearance when entering or leaving the apartment. The highlight of the mirror is that it serves as a door, behind which are hidden cosmetic shelves, hooks for umbrellas, and more. The mirror is equipped with beautiful backlighting, and an elegant LED lamp is installed nearby.

Directly opposite the entrance — a door to the walk-in closet. Symmetrically on both sides are wardrobes, and under them — shoe niches. They were decorated with terrazzo tiles — adds visual depth, looks beautiful and expensive.

The built-in wardrobe system was moved to the corridor, accessible from the living room. Behind the facades, there is plenty of storage space, a printer on a pull-out shelf, and a utility block. Under one of the facades is a robot vacuum station.
