For the integrity of the atmosphere of an apartment or house, consider the following points:
First of all, the interior of the hall should be liked by all family members.
Basic principles:
In a classic interior, a real fireplace is always appropriate, but in an apartment you will have to do with a beautiful imitation
The color scheme varies depending on your preferences, but gilding will be mandatory. The walls are decorated with stucco, decorative plaster, stone, marble or wood.
Pay attention to the choice of a beautiful chandelier or floor lamps with crystal elements.
High-tech style using innovations in technology and design. The most commonly used materials are:
High-tech hall - it is uniquely rigorous and rational design
The walls should be perfectly smooth, furniture - strict geometric shape. The floor is most often made of ceramic tiles, the ceiling is multi-level with lighting.
The name speaks for itself: a minimum of objects, a maximum of practicality. The basis of the color scheme is white, complemented by shades of brown or gray.
Minimalism dictates a careful attitude to the choice of finishing materials and furniture
Furniture in the style of minimalism is distinguished by its simplicity of design, and the room as a whole by the rationality of the use of space, laconicism and functionality. The walls are monochrome, liquid wallpaper or wall panels are suitable.
Please note: the glossy surface of the furniture will visually expand the room.
There are many variations of this style, but in general they are all divided into:
Authentic ethnicity is a repetition of the antiquity style of a certain culture with accuracy to the details.
Ethno in design - a mixed concept that includes stylistics of different peoples
An ethnic mix is a combination of several cultures in one space.

Ethnic accents - this is when one style is taken as the basis, and an artifact of the culture of ancient civilization is used as an accent.

Imagine that Salvador Dali was embodied in the form of an interior. This will be the art deco style. It is distinguished by unusualness, brightness, luxury and a combination of seemingly incongruous cultures in one room.Art deco lovers usually represent the upper class of society.

Required:
A simplified version of art deco. This style is softer and lighter, but no less luxurious. When choosing furniture for the hall in the Art Nouveau style, remember the smoothness of lines and the lack of symmetry.
Modern is a very dynamic style, quickly responding to new fashion trends.
In it, just as in many other styles, natural materials are valued. Plant and animal motifs are used in wall decoration and upholstery. Mandatory large windows with mosaics and a door with stained glass elements.
If you like the classic style, but you also value modernity and the elements of minimalism, pay attention to the neo-classic style.
In this style, classic luxury blends harmoniously with modern functionality.
The color of the walls, floor, ceiling and surface of cabinet furniture is traditionally restrained: shades of white, gray and brown are suitable. Add bright details, if desired, using objects in rich colors of burgundy, emerald, or turquoise.
Neo-classic implies luxury and status, therefore it requires a large number of square meters. Such a style is suitable for your room only if it is really big.
Suitable for lovers of a new, modern and extraordinary interior. Its peculiarity is spaciousness, vivid accents, unusual little things and at the same time simplicity that preserves space and does not litter it.
The loft is characterized by brickwork, wooden floors and gray concrete surfaces.
A distinctive feature of the loft style in zoning space. Moreover, this can be done not necessarily due to the partition. Use furniture or different flooring and wall colors to delimit space.
Traditional loft style wall decoration:
Please note: the central element of the loft-style hall is the fireplace.
A distinctive feature of the country style is the use of exclusively natural materials.
All equipment and other objects hinting at the present are better to decorate, mount or hide.
The arrangement of furniture directly depends on its practical application, so in a country-style hall it may seem that everything is located chaotically. The walls are usually made in the economy version: they are plastered and painted in a light color - for example, beige.
Country in the apartment is an attempt by city dwellers to get closer to village life
Country-style ceilings are wooden beams, if height allows, of course. The floor is also made of wood or stone.
Artificially aged furniture, pillows, wooden picture frames, figurines for decor create a special atmosphere in the Provence style. For walls, wallpapers with a floral pattern are appropriate. A common color palette in pastel colors.
French Provence is able to give refined tenderness to any room
This style is more suitable for romantic natures than for lovers to keep up with the times.

Unusually, poufs will look in the hall instead of sofas and armchairs, as well as hanging shelves for zoning the room.
The pouf can be used both for seating and as a coffee table
