Wallpaper remains the most popular and sought-after decoration material. A wide range of offers, a variety of drawings, textures and practicality make them indispensable for interiors, and the corridor is no exception. Wallpaper for the corridor washing is reliable and not expensive.

Choose a wallpaper

Washable wallpapers have the added benefit of practicality.

That is why they are used primarily in places of increased operation:

• Kitchen (seeWhat is the best wallpaper for the kitchen: make a choice).
• The corridor.
• Bathroom.
• The toilet room.

Features of the room:

• The corridor was never considered a functional living space. The second problem is low light.
• Far from everywhere there are windows in the hallway, especially in apartment buildings.
• At the same time, the corridor has the greatest functional load, because it connects the entire space of an apartment or house.

That is why washable wallpaper for the corridor, especially a small one, is the best option.

What are washable wallpapers?

We must pay tribute to the manufacturers for the range that is presented on the market. Thanks to a wide range of offers, you can implement any design and stylistic solution and choose wallpaper for the hallway and corridor.

What types of wallpaper are there?

A surface coated with a layer of vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) on a non-woven or paper basis is called vinyl wallpaper:

• This vinyl layer can be washed or wiped, making them practical to use.

The decorative effect also depends on the structure of the vinyl.

• Flizelin (a fibrous semisynthetic material based on cellulose) or paper serves as the basis for gluing to a wall or other surface.
• The vinyl layer has micropores, so the statement that the wallpaper "does not breathe" is not quite true.

Moisture resistance

On moisture resistance and wear resistance are divided into five types.

The structure is divided into:

• Volumetric. The relief pattern has foamed vinyl (denoted by BB).
• The smooth surface is flat vinyl (PV).
• With a small topography or structure (PB).
• There are wallpaper for painting with applied textured structure (CTP), most often on a non-woven basis.
• Cullet (STL) are made of glass fiber.
• Screen printing. A special fiber is applied onto the paper base, impregnated with vinyl.
• Bright and spectacular, with a metallic sheen.

All these types can be recommended as washable wallpaper for the corridor.

Which is better to choose

Great option for a small apartment.

Wallpaper for the corridor in the apartment must be selected based on the following:

• Dimensions.
• Illumination.
• Ceiling height.
• The style of the interior.

Tip. For a small room you need to choose bright colors. Visually expanding the size of the hallway is possible with a combination of reflective surfaces: glossy stretch ceilings, mirrors.

Correctly set the lighting points using several sources:

• For example, a ceiling in two levels with LED backlight.
• A drywall box with hidden lighting is made around the perimeter, a glossy ceiling is pulled into the first level.
• Lighting is distributed around the perimeter of the corridor, wall lights are used.
• You can attach a large mirror to one of the walls. All these techniques will create the effect of expanding space.

A long room can be modified using different wallpapers for the hallway and corridor.

• We paste over the middle of the room with light wallpaper, possibly with a decorative pattern.

Note. We highlight the contour parts with dark saturated tones, you can mirror the technique. This gives volume to the room and shifts spatial accents, the corridor visually will not be so long.

In addition, perspective wallpapers can be used (seeWall mural in the corridor: make a choice) or a mirror cabinet.
