Corridors are said to be the silent walkways crossing many rooms, it’s a vacant long way to cross with peace, silence, positive thoughts and relaxation. They are the silent path way to move from one place to another but still they need to have some good, cozy, cool and calm designs around to cheer you up and your presence whenever your pass through them. Keep them sophisticated, touchy with relaxing feel and use of textured laminates, texture paints, glass etc. can be one of the magical tools to get that feel. We need to make long corridors much more interesting, relaxing and calm. While passing through them we get few minutes of relaxation and time to spend with ourselves.
Corridors play a vital role in formal as well as informal settings of design and décor. Office corridors, hotel corridors, school or college corridor, hospital corridors all have their own appetite for different design, art work and décor depending upon the respective place and connected room to it. They might have different requirements and difference in designing but all corridors share one thing in similar and that is “silence with peace and calm”. As the corridors are connected to many other rooms it is important to maintain acoustic insulation while preparing a designing idea for the same. Passing footsteps may disturb the office work, may irritate a patient in the room, they may ruin up class studies etc. So while designing for any corridor do include acoustic insulation, good resilient floor treatment as well.
