Ieda and
Carina Korman , from
Korman Arquitetos , it is possible to innovate in the hallway with just a few details. “Since it is not an area where people spend a lot of time, hallways can be decorated in a bolder way,” the experts say. Below, check out some tips for innovate and decorate the space, according to the architects:

Paintings, sculptures, photographs, engravings ... all these elements can be used to bring life and transform hallways into real art galleries. “Easy to create and full of personality, a
gallery wall is one of the most fun ways to decorate a hallway,” says Carina. In this case, the wall can be neutral, highlighting works of art, collages or photographs. .
A beautiful sculpture, placed at the end of the corridor , can also stand out, attracting attention.
Different colors
Striking, eye-catching colors help bring personality to spaces. "One tip is to use
monochrome , which is very popular right now. Another option is
to choose two shades – one for the side walls, another for the back wall and ceiling
," indicates Carina Korman. The highlight of the back wall is capable of causing a visual impact, while the different color on the ceiling gives the
impression that the ceiling height is higher .
Patterns and textures can also be explored without fear, whether with a different covering or with
wallpaper .
“ Wallpaper is easy to apply and can be combined with other decorative items, such as paintings. Three-dimensional coverings, on the other hand,
play with the effect of light and shadow and encourage curiosity when touched,
” says Ieda Korman.
Mirrors

a feeling of spaciousness and, in some cases, also help to illuminate the space,” says the professional, who also points out that a good
