2) How to furnish the corridor – A colonial touch

Furnishing the corridor will thus become a true exercise in ingenuity.

5) Entrance furniture – Create an illusion of depth
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice Your entrance is short and narrow but do you want it to appear long and wide? Just hang a mirror and play with the optical illusion that can spread a greater sense of spatial depth. Even the light is able to change the perception of the dimensions of a room.

6) Reduce the corridor
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice Furnishing the corridor is often a question of necessity. Is your entrance area very wide and you would like to make it appear narrower to avoid a little lived aesthetic drift? From a single large room you can get two different ones using curtains and filling the space with furniture: a sideboard surrounded by two stools can be the ideal solution. The easiest? Playing with carpets with important patterns, but not in obvious contrast to each other, to avoid the feeling of “noise” in the chosen style.

7) Illuminate the corridor – Entrance lights and light colors
Furnishing-the-corridor, Corridor, Furniture, Colors, Advice If you think that your passage is too dark, light it by painting the walls white and adding different points of light. If you have the opportunity, install a glass wall with sliding doors, a solution that guarantees a greater supply of natural light to the room. Furnishing the corridor in the most strategic way can change your living space with the lightness of a light beam.

Interior design

In the past, interiors were put together instinctively as a part of the process of building.[1] The profession of interior design has been a consequence of the development of society and the complex architecture that has resulted from the development of industrial processes. The pursuit of effective use of space, user well-being and functional design has contributed to the development of the contemporary interior design profession. The profession of interior design is separate and distinct from the role of interior decorator, a term commonly used in the US. The term is less common in the UK, where the profession of interior design is still unregulated and therefore, strictly speaking, not yet officially a profession. In ancient India, architects used to work as interior designers. This can be seen from the references of Vishwakarma the architect - one of the gods in Indian mythology. Additionally, the sculptures depicting ancient texts and events are seen in palaces built in 17th-century India. In medieval times wall art paintings in India have been a common feature of palace like mansions commonly known as havelis. While most traditional homes are done away with modern buildings, there are around 2000 havelis[2] in the Shekhawati region of Rajashtan that display wall art paintings. In ancient Egypt, "soul houses" or models of houses were placed in tombs as receptacles for food offerings. From these, it is possible to discern details about the interior design of different residences throughout the different Egyptian dynasties, such as changes in ventilation, porticoes, columns, loggias, windows, and doors.[3] Throughout the 17th and 18th century and into the early 19th century, interior decoration was the concern of the homemaker, or an employed upholsterer or craftsman who would advise on the artistic style for an interior space. Architects would also employ craftsmen or artisans to complete interior design for their buildings. Commercial interior design and management In the mid-to-late 19th century, interior design services expanded greatly, as the middle class in industrial countries grew in size and prosperity and began to desire the domestic trappings of wealth to cement their new status. Large furniture firms began to branch out into general interior design and management, offering full house furnishings in a variety of styles. This business model flourished from the mid-century to 1914, when this role was increasingly usurped by independent, often amateur, designers. This paved the way for the emergence of the professional interior design in the mid-20th century.[4] Illustrated catalog of the James Shoolbred Company, published in 1876. In the 1950s and 1960s, upholsterers began to expand their business remits. They framed their business more broadly and in artistic terms and began to advertise their furnishings to the public. To meet the growing demand for contract interior work on projects such as offices, hotels, and public buildings, these businesses became much larger and more complex, employing builders, joiners, plasterers, textile designers, artists, and furniture designers, as well as engineers and technicians to fulfil the job. Firms began to publish and circulate catalogs with prints for different lavish styles to attract the attention of expanding middle classes.[4] As department stores increased in number and size, retail spaces within shops were furnished in different styles as examples for customers. One particularly effective advertising tool was to set up model rooms at national and international exhibitions in showrooms for the public to see. Some of the pioneering firms in this regard were Waring & Gillow, James Shoolbred, Mintons, and Holland & Sons. These traditional high-quality furniture making firms began to play an important role as advisers to unsure middle class customers on taste and style, and began taking out contracts to design and furnish the interiors of many important buildings in Britain.[5]
