In the loft interior, the chic of modernity is successfully combined with details from the past

Given the small area of such a hallway, light colors should be a priority
The entrance hall in the loft style in Khrushchev is somewhat different from a private house, mainly because of its small forms. Armchairs and a table or sofa cannot be placed in such a hallway. In addition, most corridors are narrow and elongated.
One wall can be distinguished for brickwork, it is desirable to paint the rest in light shades.
In order to make the loft hallway look attractive even in the small corridor of the apartment in Khrushchev, its borders should be visually increased. So, you can get rid of some doors leading to the hall or to the kitchen, for example. The room will look larger if the doorway is not made standard rectangular, but in the shape of an arch, which allows you to erase the boundaries, visually combine the entrance hall with another room.

To expand the space in the hallway also help mirrors that visually make the room deeper. To do this, you can hang a large mirror cloth on the wall, or make such doors or cabinet doors.

In a private house, things are much simpler. A large space makes it possible to fantasize and implement the most daring idea. Often, in private houses, the corridor is made square in shape, which allows it to flow smoothly into the main hall.

It is in spacious rooms that the loft is best realized
As a rule, the loft hallway is a continuation of the living room, therefore, it is desirable to maintain both of these rooms in the same style. For a smooth transition, it is necessary to erase the boundaries between the two rooms. The effect should be created, as if they smoothly flow into each other. This means that both the entrance hall and the living room must be identical in style, otherwise the whole meaning of the loft design will be lost.
The main distinguishing feature of the loft style is that it does not allow excesses: nothing more. Such a design should combine modern technology and elements of classic finishes.
A minimum of unnecessary details - the main rule of the loft interior
The entrance loft differs from others in its minimalism: as few partitions as possible, high ceiling, lack of excessive decor, uncomplicated but stylish wall decoration.No wallpaper, unless imitating a brick. Ideally, in this design, the walls are simply painted, lay decorative plaster, or lay out the same brick. The space of the room is zoned with furniture, and chrome is visible in the decor elements.
A modern loft - in fact, it is a chic disguised as creative negligence
Also, in the loft design, wood, granite chips and other natural materials are allowed. At first glance, the finishes of this style seem dry and cold, however, with the right approach, you can make the interior cozy, interesting and unique.
Loft allows the use of wooden elements - painted, stained or artificially aged
The main colors of the loft style are brick, shades of wood, gray, white, black and beige. Naturally, they are not contrasting, but smooth and soft. However, to make the interior more interesting and outstanding, some bright accents can be added to it.

So, the entrance hall will look very lively if you add a few indoor plants. Firstly, it will add a bright green color to the paint palette, which goes well with the basic shades of the design, and secondly, it will make the room less “cold”.

Contrasting colors on chrome surfaces or textiles will also help make the hallway more comfortable. A yellow pouffe on which it will be convenient to wear shoes, or a bright chrome lamp will add warmth to the room.
In order for the room to gain a more homely atmosphere, it is better to use a warm palette, in particular, colors such as yellow, orange, red. However, a bright accent color can be made and blue, purple and others, depending on the preferences of the owner of the room.
Elements that can be played in contrast:
In any case, bright contrasting colors will help diversify the room, give it some zest and make it more interesting and sophisticated.

The opinion that flooring is not important when designing a room is fundamentally wrong. Its proper selection is equally necessary for creating an interior, as well as the choice of furniture and wall decoration. It is important to find not only an aesthetically attractive option, but also practical, since the floor in the hallway is tested for strength more often than in other rooms. Quick wear of the flooring in the corridor is facilitated by heels, dust, dirty or wet shoes and detergents.
The floor must be strong, expensive and natural
From the point of view of ease of use, and from the point of view of aesthetics and combination with design, the following materials are perfect:
Linoleum is less suitable, but wood, parquet, ceramics or self-leveling floor - definitely “yes”
It was previously said that one of the main features of the loft style is minimalism. This rule applies to furniture. At the same time, it should be as functional as possible.
In the industrial hallway there should be a hanger on which you can hang a jacket or umbrella. Simple open models are best suited.
The loft hallway does not do without a mirror. Firstly, it will visually increase the space and add light, and secondly, the mirror is an important element of modern interior design.
The loft loves contrasts, so here you can find both a comfortable chair with leather upholstery and a wooden bench with a rough finish
For a hall in the loft style, furniture made of wood or plastic is most suitable. It should be simple and no frills. This design is also characterized by the fusion of furniture with wall decoration in color.
Small poufs do not clutter the interior, and their internal space can be used to store things
Do not overload the room with bright furniture. This is completely uncharacteristic of the loft style. There should not be too many accents.
Furniture made from natural materials is ideal. Also, excessive pretentiousness and bulkyness should be avoided. Open shelves and hangers are also an integral element of the loft style.
Each piece of furniture should be in place and fulfill its purpose
For the hallway, as for any other room, accessories and decor should be selected carefully. The main task of these elements is that they should emphasize and remind of where the loft style originates from.
Stylish lamps on colored wires - a suitable decor for the hallway
The inscription “Enter” / “Exit”, light bulbs, black and white paintings or photos and the like can give a hint of industrialism. Any things made antique, be it large mirrors with plaque spots, vinyl records, pipes with decorative rust will also fit perfectly into the interior.
In order not to turn grace into tastelessness, it is necessary to carefully select each decorative element
When it comes to a loft style hallway, you should forget about the wallpaper once and for all. They are completely not characteristic of this design. Of the materials for wall decoration in such an interior, the following should be highlighted:
Metal on the hallway wall is a bold and very extraordinary solution, completely in the spirit of a loft
Like everything related to the loft style, the light in the hallway with such an interior should be extraordinary and functional.
As fixtures I use any industrial design devices, spotlights and vintage products
This design is characterized by the use of several lighting sources at once. The following backlight options fit perfectly into the style:
The darker the hallway, the more fixtures you will need for comfortable lighting
Popular colors of the loft style for 2019 are turquoise, emerald and mint shades, as well as golden chrome. However, the loft style will not change its main colors, such as red, mustard, white, gray and brown. Also, trends in 2019 include copper and brass, geometric ornaments. The trend of 2018 for “dusty” shades, such as “spiced honey”, “powdery rose”, “dusty sulfur” will stay at the peak of fashion for another year.
The color of the brickwork can be any, depending on the size of the hallway and lighting
Loft style combines simplicity and minimalism. The main concept of this style is a harmonious and smooth combination of old and new, rough and soft, brutal and cozy, warm and cold. The details of the room with the loft design are designed as simple as possible, but at the same time they are creative and also distinguished by their functionality. It is ideal for people who are creative and looking for functionality.
