Ceiling design in the hallway

First of all, let's think about the color of the ceiling covering in the hallway. If the size of the room and its height leave much to be desired, a light-colored ceiling coupled with a darker floor will correct the situation. The extra height will be visually hidden by dark shades of the palette.

Types of ceiling coverings in the hallway interior:

• Suspended ceilings made from PVC panels have become very popular for decorating not only offices and shops, but also residential premises. Installation of plastic panels is very convenient for small apartments; they are usually used in the interior of the kitchen, hallway and bathroom.
