Usually residents apartment buildings renovations are planned only in own apartment, only a few are ready to invest in the public. Many are afraid of theft, vandalism, are not friendly with their neighbors, and simply do not consider it necessary: “let the housing office try” - there are many reasons. The Village has some advice for those who are ready to fight for a beautiful staircase.
Plants
Of course, you can send the excess of your indoor plant growing to the stairs - unloved ones, overgrown flowers, etc. But they are unlikely to decorate the site. If you decide to buy something right for decorating a flight of stairs, look for shade-loving, loyal irregular watering plants. Contrary to the misconception of many, these are not cacti. Your choice is asparagus, fern, scindapsus (this is a liana), ficus and monstera (they can grow gigantic and make a jungle out of the entrance). Of course, you need to water and feed them, but not often: once a week on weekends is quite enough. What stands? It’s better to have wall planters so that the neighbor’s child on a scooter or mom with a stroller won’t be angry at your phytodesign. It is advisable to hang it on the wall, away from drafts, but so that the plants still get daylight.
Walls
To start a mini-repair at the entrance, you need the consent of the neighbors. If no one has any objections, Management Company cannot hinder your initiative. Still, it is better to notify utility services about the proposed repair.
If you decide to change the color of your walls, you may have to devote an entire weekend to it. The recipes have not changed since “Soviet times”, only the materials and tools have improved. Now you can paint not just like that, but in stripes. The stripes can be anything - single or all over the wall, regular or not, vertical, horizontal, narrow and wide: masking tape easily solves the problem of a smooth edge. And systems for tinting the base paint in any shade of the RAL palette will allow you to revive, and not completely repaint the strange green or blue melancholy imposed on you by the Housing Office. Not sure of your own taste and can’t find interesting color pallets? Better to paint it white. But before you start painting, it is very important to clarify what exactly the walls of your entrance are covered with: water-based and acrylic paints will not lie on top of oil paints.
If you have already tried stencil painting, you can do this. We are, of course, not talking about a border of roses along a flight of stairs, but about a large pattern on one wall. The cheapest stencil is a circle. Make one wall “polka dot” and your staircase will be unrecognizable. A couple of hours and an aerosol can of paint are enough.
Silhouette stickers serve the same role as a decorative accent. With their help, you can place painted flowers, a bicycle, and so on above the stairs. That is, to complete life. By the way, modern stickers can be glued to any surface. And most companies are ready to make them to order, according to your sketches and to the size you need.
steps
Gray steps can be painted any cheerful color. And so that the coating does not wear off after six months, the stairs are first primed with concrete contact. Do this every two days, one step at a time, because you and your neighbors need to walk somehow. Floor and staircase painting can be entrusted to a special company (search the Internet for “concrete painting”). Experts will draw you at least a Persian carpet, but one that will not be erased by the time the house is demolished. But the offer price is an order of magnitude higher than manual painting as part of a general apartment cleanup.
A bright idea is to decorate only the risers (this is what the vertical wall under the step is called). You can paint only them or lay them out with colorful tiles. The part of the step on which the foot stands is called the tread. If this very tread hangs over the riser, then the resulting canopy looks interesting painted - you will get a striped staircase, the simplest, fastest and a budget option decoration.
Convenient devices
Hooks for heavy bags They are sold at any hardware store and cost pennies. Spend not only on your own - buy at once for all your neighbors in the stairwell. And don't just buy it - screw it on. You return from work with a bunch of children’s backpacks, spare shoes, Auchan bags and try to find the keys with the free finger of your busy hands. And here is a gift from fate: a kind neighbor who wished to remain anonymous screwed a hook for your bag.
Think about newspaper girl or about a wall-mounted metal holder for books and newspapers. It will be useful for those who, despite all the fines and prohibitions of the Ministry of Health, continue to smoke and read on the staircase. And he smokes without an iPhone - the old fashioned way, with a book. At the same time, support the bookcrossing movement, in other words, share with your neighbors the literature that you have already studied.
Availability ashtrays guarantees that an unextinguished cigarette butt will not fly into the garbage chute. Consider a tobacco odor absorber. Neighbors who smoke in the stairwell often annoy non-smokers. It's simple: pour odor absorber granules into a beautiful container and place them next to the ashtray on the stairs. They are inexpensive, you can change them yourself. But there is no headache with “spraying”; you don’t need to count on your neighbor to remember to ventilate - the smell is neutralized without your participation.
Bulletin board can make your life easier. For your personal announcements on the seventh floor. Hang it near the elevator doors. You can attach a sheet and tie a pencil to a regular cork surface, you can hang a beautiful marker board: Give the opportunity to write and respond. Here - any announcements that you ask to ventilate after smoking, water flowers, invite you to participate financially in raising funds for painting a flight of stairs - bring the money to apartment 222. And so on. It wouldn’t hurt to attach a pocket under the board for leaflets about the delivery of sushi, pizza and other spam, which are regularly pasted around the entrance. Sometimes he is needed too.

interior designer, design bureau "4rooms"
I myself live in a five-story Stalinist building built in 1956. There is no elevator and there is no space for a concierge. There is a small vestibule and in the second flight a place where mailboxes hang.
What did we do in our entrance? The first is cleaning. Organize it, then you will want to think about a fresh design. If the entrance is painted with scary green paint, then you can refine everything with a stencil and white paint. You can do this on weekends by connecting children from neighboring apartments. The main thing is to wash them before taking them home.
The entrance also has windows - you can buy the simplest cornices and the simplest fabrics, processed fire-fighting composition, - and the windows will create comfort. Don't forget about framed paintings and posters.
If we talk about decoration, I would suggest laying 50 by 50 carpet tiles in the hallway. The tiles can either be glued or mounted on clips. Standard size The tiles and ease of installation make it easy to lay out any design. Depending on the texture and collection, carpet tiles can be laid in one direction or in different directions.
For walls, you can use stencils (paints are applied using a sprayer to the walls of the entrance) or ready-made wall stickers. As an option, glue inserts from photo wallpapers or paint one of the walls in a more
bright and rich color, thereby enlivening the interior.
And, of course, put it on the staircase houseplants. It is better to arrange a green corner at the entrance on the first floor or near the elevator. Suitable for entrance large plants, not requiring special care: abutilon, ficus, fatshedera, hibiscus and some dracaenas. Among the more compact ones, you should choose aspidistra, oxalis, coleus, begonia, billbergia, dracaena, ferns, pelargonium, cyperus and sansevieria. If there are no window sills at the entrance, then it is better to choose hanging plants, which are placed in flowerpots, racks, and so on.
Inter-apartment staircase- the very place where you can use your limitless imagination and everything that remains from renovating your apartment. What you no longer need, but it’s a shame to throw it away. The staircase space is a common area, which means that nothing can be done without the consent of all apartment owners on the floor. But this can be a big plus: team up with your neighbors, make friends when discussing the design and during its implementation.
Let's put everything we have into action. For example, after renovation we have a lot left different colors, sometimes a whole bucket, and sometimes just a little. We collected all this and most bright color fuchsia highlighted the area of the flight of stairs, emphasized window hole. We painted the walls with the paint that was left the most - each completely in its own color. We also have a lot of paint buckets left over. different diameters- we cut out their bottoms and, to enliven our design, using a can of black paint we painted circles of different diameters, randomly scattered on the wall. In fact, we didn’t spend a penny on the design - all the cans were collected from our neighbors. Modern paints are environmentally friendly finishing material, so you can safely involve not only adults, but also children in the work.

In modern apartment buildings, a lot of attention is paid to design as local area and public areas. After all, most of the houses, even those oriented towards the economy class, try to get ahead of their competitors as much as possible, offering more and positioning themselves as more comfortable and profitable housing. Often one of the elements is the design of the entrance, which is very important for many residents. It is from this that one can judge how often and to what extent cleaning is done, what the general mood of the house is, and how elite it is. These points cannot be neglected. And precisely in order to show status and high cost, the entrances are dealt with very closely and seriously. When coming to view an apartment, residents pay attention to all the little details and the surrounding environment, which they will have to see every day. This is why it is so important to create the most comfortable entrance possible. People want to distance themselves from the image of a gray Soviet entrance. It is associated with dirt, repeatedly repainted walls with peeling paint, and other troubles. Our design
entrances creates a completely unusual image, corresponding modern style, which looks more like the lobby and corridors of an expensive hotel, where it is a pleasure to be in. Before starting work, we always draw up design project, which reflects all the little details of the future interior. This is important for a general understanding of what will happen in the end and what advantages this image will have. Sometimes some homeowners try to create their own atmosphere in each entrance. Your own story, which can be told to residents, and which will be part of the culture of living in the house. This not only brings residents together, but also makes them treat common areas with greater respect. Our company will transform any entrance. The design and photos of such a transformation are in our portfolio. Even in the most ordinary panel house You can create a design that will be different from others, will appeal to the residents to culture and will be pleasant to look at. You will always want to return to such a house, and moreover, you will want to love and respect it, as well as the work of those who work on its cleanliness and order.
Entrance design for an apartment building
Entrance design apartment building begins with an analysis of what already exists. And what should happen in the end. For example, competent design can hide many of the shortcomings of a room. If the ceiling is low and the windows are narrow, then ideal solution there will be a light tile that reflects the slightest ray of sun, and a large number of lighting at night. In the case of curved walls, you can use fake diamond, behind which no irregularities will be visible. If desired, you can modernize the steps and railings, or leave some of their elements if they are of historical value. For every project, whenever needed
To create a design project for an entrance, we approach it individually, making sure to coordinate all changes with the customer and recommend the best option in the given situation. The design of the entrance vestibule also plays a significant role, since it is the first thing the person entering sees. It should be cozy and spacious, so that two people walking in different directions can easily turn around. We take into account all these features and create designs that amaze with their practicality and magnificence. With our professional approach the design of the entrance will become not just modern and beautiful, but also luxurious, light, joyful and majestic.
Entrance design for an apartment building, entrance design for a residential building
When meeting a person, they are assessed by appearance, the same can be said about housing - the first thing that catches your eye is the entrance and its condition. Permanent residents, willy-nilly, have to see their entrance almost every day. If it is in well-maintained condition, this is of course good, but in many Soviet apartment buildings, no particular repairs were done during operation. At the right approach To this end, it is worth creating a design project for the entrance. When creating a design project, specialists develop a design plan for the following elements of the entrance:
1. Walls. There are two key factors worth highlighting here: color and materials. The color scheme is selected depending on the illumination of the entrance. Most often these are warm and bright hues. If your entrance is not protected from unwanted entry of strangers, then it is worth considering the protection of the walls from vandalism - covering with rigid impact-resistant materials (usually only the lower part of the walls).
2. Ceilings. Usually when designing entrances, they take into account required amount, location and type of lamps
TO decorative design rarely come running.
3. Railing. Despite their visual insignificance, they actually play vital role, helping elderly and physically weak people when moving. The main factor is strength characteristics. When installing new or repairing existing railings and handrails, specialists check them for load and, if necessary, strengthen them further using structural forces.
4. Floors. A suitable one is selected flooring material under a specific entrance. When designing an entrance, they mainly use the floor ceramic tiles for the street. After all, in this room aggressive environment, since more people walk on these tiles than in an apartment.
The artistic design of the entrance of a residential building using drawings on the walls is gaining popularity, but you have to pay a lot of money for creativity. The design of the entrance to an apartment building is a modern approach to comfortable and beautiful life. We also recommend that you read the section.
The ransom is an interesting wedding tradition that has its roots in the deep past. The groom's thorny path to his beloved often begins at the entrance of a high-rise building: unfortunately, shabby and painted walls look far from festive, so the issue of decoration is more relevant than ever. How to decorate the entrance before the ransom? - let's figure it out.
Decoration of the entrance to the wedding entrance
Sullen and unpleasant steel door Have a good mood It won’t do anyone any good, it’s often decorated with unpleasant inscriptions and strange paintings by courtyard artists, so your task is to bring the entrance into a divine appearance. The easiest way is balloons; you can use them to make intricate compositions or simply hang them in a chaotic manner. It is recommended to use no more than 3 colors.
Another thing is holiday posters and paper applications. Cheap and cheerful. It could be floral ornaments, and funny collages, and photoshops, and a code of rules for the groom, and poems of wishes. You can also use colored crayons, but swear to your neighbors that you will wash everything off.
You shouldn’t be too zealous, your task is banal: to hide the dirt and lack of repairs and at the same time create a minimal ambience. Further more!
Entrance steps
Of course, no one has the right to demand a red carpet from you, but if you have come up with tests during which the groom will have to come into contact with the floor, at least cover it with homespun rugs, which are not needed in the house, and it would be a pity to throw it away. You can also use light, cheap fabric for these purposes.
Applications made from paper or foil also look stylish: hearts, daisies, stars, small confetti, etc.! Inexpensive, but interesting way transform boring gray steps.
You can decorate the stairs with stencil designs, rose petals, and burning candles. Lay out fun quests, wishes and signs, arrange floral compositions: Even ordinary potted plants will give your stairs a completely different look.
If the bride lives high up, the elevator will also need to be decorated: even minimal decor from balloons And artificial plants will give it a well-groomed look. If the walls look really creepy, you can stick strips of wallpaper using double-sided tape: but the bride won’t have to worry about the safety of her outfit.
Decorating the staircase railing
Most often, railings are decorated with light fabrics, artificial flowers, colorful balloons. You can make your own paper garlands and hang them satin ribbons and bows. TO additional accessories can be attributed electric garlands, banners, LED strips, but such equipment cannot be called cheap, and it is unlikely to be worth it.
pay attention to color scheme, best options - pastel shades With bright accents, which will not irritate the eye.
How to decorate the walls of a wedding entrance
All kinds of collages will look great: comic drawings, congratulations, funny parting words: they are easily attached with double-sided tape and do not spoil the surface of the wall.
You can also experiment with photographs of the newlyweds: make a garland of drawings, starting with children’s ones and ending with joint ones. In computer editors, go a little crazy: for example, try on unusual images or attach the heads of newlyweds to the bodies of fairy-tale creatures.
If you know an artist, that’s great; he can design the wedding newspaper. You can cut out the initials or names of the newlyweds, words of congratulations from colored cardboard, make funny garlands(from old wallpaper, postcards, newspapers), the shape can be arbitrary - from crescents and rings to flags and angels. At least cut out the bats! - as long as it matches the style of the buyout.
The bride's door is decorated with balloons, flowers, and ribbons. You can make a beautiful wreath from branches or wildflowers, or make an unusual arch. You can place figures of the bride and groom made from balloons on the landing, and later use them to decorate the banquet hall. Place flowers in pots on the windowsills of the landing.
It happens that jewelry may not be useful at all if the groom happens to be particularly creative. For example, like this:
Be that as it may, the process of decorating the entrance itself should not be complicated or cause a lot of trouble. There is no need to decorate it with greenhouse flowers or exquisite figurines: everything should be simple, sweet and tasteful!
Original post by Lenyr
How I decorated the entrance.After we had an intercom installed, I eagerly and with full creative potential began working on the entrance. For a very long time, I had a plan to decorate the walls and entrance. But there was no intercom and this slowed me down. And then immediately after it was installed, a couple of days later I started to implement the transformation plan. I no longer had the strength to look at the terrible tattered door and the glass, which had never been washed after the renovation in the entrance, everything was covered in plaster. And the renovation was standard, Soviet, they whitewashed the floor of the wall, and painted the floor of the wall with green oil paint. And thank you for that.
Day 1.
December 5, 2010.
Here is our entrance and entrance...the rest of the photos are from closed door I erased and destroyed them, but it’s a pity, now they would be useful for comparison, I didn’t even want to see how ugly it turned out in the photo, everything was so terrible.Initially, I went out to clean up after installing the intercom. I washed the floor, then washed the glass of the front door with Mr. Muscle.
After I cleaned up, I went home to get lace fabrics for curtains. I had small leftovers and first I made a lambrequin from pink narrow and long fabric, nailed it to the door with a stapler. Then I put beige lace on the glass, stretched it, and stapled it along all the edges.
Then I cut out the edge of the curtain in a wave pattern.
I also stapled an orange PVC branch onto the door portal. I also stapled a flower into the corner.
The door turned out nice and cozy.
Then I took a can of gold paint and made a wide canvas between the green and white walls. I went along the edges of the door at the bottom, along the panels, with gold paint, I wanted to paint over the tatters with gold. There is not much light in the entrance and I liked it.
The neighboring girls came down and even gasped at how much they liked it, stopped and looked out.
My neighbor, the girl Zhenya, with her dog (it was the only dog) looked at this work for a long time, she liked it, and we talked about flowers and gold, so that there would be more of this.
I had already gilded the tip of the railing. And on the door I saw paint drips on the house in the photo when I looked through it and was shocked, in real life they were not visible in the entrance.
And I brought all my stickers from home, which I collected and began to paste on the wall. And from a balloon with gold paint I painted large futuristic, fairy-tale flowers. And also a flower on the panels, I thought a flower on the panels would correct the situation...
I started gluing flowers along the golden border.
I also painted the railings gold.
I decorated the stems of flowers with petals and appliqués. In yellow gas pipe I also went through dots of gold paint, it turned out like a fairy-tale snake, you have to go like this all over the pipe.
Having seen streaks on the door from gold paint at home, I decided to rectify the situation by painting the entire bottom of the door with gold paint. The result was terrible. I thought it would be great, but it turned out badly. There, the old paint had swelled in the middle.
It was necessary to urgently correct the situation. I came to this very seriously, after thinking everything through work plan, and Then this happened, I was alone, Zhenya was at work. I decided that the Hawaiian bottom of the door would go great with the flowers on the wall. I ran home for a centimeter, measured the panel of the door and cut off expensive Hawaiian wallpaper to decoupage the door. I glued it with PVA.
The wall has already made me happy, but there is still a lot of work to be done on it. And here is a door with such complaints. One panel did not look very good, I need to continue. Again I measured the bottom panel, it was much smaller and went to cut it to the size of the Hawaiian wallpaper. I liked the result. The handle I also gilded it.
I had two paintings and I hung them. At the big one pink flower I also corrected the bottom of the stems, there was some paint bleeding there, and I glued on some beautiful appliqués.
This is how the wall turned out.
I worked all evening, about 4-5 hours exactly, I was tired and cold, well at least it was only -4 degrees cold. I hung bird cages, also appliqués.
This is how I worked on the first day of creativity in the entrance. All the young people who passed by, everyone really liked it. Some asked if I would really leave all this, but what about the hooligans... I answered again and answered that I believe in best qualities person. But I didn’t sleep well at night, I kept thinking how my old-timers would react to this work, none of them passed when I sculpted in the evening. Still, this is a project, and I’m interested in knowing the opinion of my neighbors. But of course I did it fully prepared, with a work plan and at the behest of your heart. Clearly understanding that you cannot please everyone, As Rooseveld said: “No matter what you do, a third of the people will be for you, a third will be against you, and a third will be absolutely indifferent.”
DAY 2
December 5, 2010
I went to “35”, having previously made a list of what to buy there to finish the entrance. The night and half a day passed calmly, everything was hanging and in place, no one knocked on the door or rang with tomatoes to bombard me. At “35” I I bought everything - more checkered stickers with birds, 4 more paintings. Then I went to a hardware store, bought wood varnish in a can, cornflower blue acrylic paint with mother-of-pearl, and went home with these little things, inspired by new creative ideas. I immediately changed my clothes and went into the entrance. I started putting up boxes and birds.I took a brush and began to paint blue mother-of-pearl flowers, in a gold frame, which I painted yesterday. And the grass at the bottom of the wall.
Here is my arsenal, folded under the door.
The cells look great, especially in a dark entrance, they look white like bells.
Here is the second blue pearl flower.
This is the first blue flower.
After these two blue flowers I started hanging pictures. I nailed a nail and hung the pictures. This is my door.
I hung this picture yesterday.
I hung this one yesterday too.
After the pictures, I went home again, washed the brush of blue paint, took red, also acrylic pearlescent paint, and went on to paint. First, I outlined the already dried blue flowers. And painted red ones. I also painted red grass flowers on the blue grass, as if it were flowering grass.
The first blue flower.
These are the flowers near my door.
This is the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland"
Second blue flower.
Full height.
Flowers at the front door.
Almost in full height at the front door.
Next to him there is a red flower, also in full growth.
Stairs to the second floor.
I also painted the stairs below, which are visible at the entrance. blooming grass and ornament.
This is the entrance to the basement, I also decorated it.
This is the view when you enter the entrance.
When I returned home today, I also liked it all, but there were no blue and red flowers with blooming grass yet. It was so cozy.
I varnished the door where the decoupage was made with wallpaper, for durability.
This is how I decorated my entrance. Everyone liked it, they kissed and hugged me, they even said thank you. Honestly, I was very pleased with it.
This is the kind of fairy tale I came up with, my “Alice in Wonderland.”
I was very tired, cold, but had a photo shoot. I was satisfied with everything. Evgen came home from work, he also really liked it. Grandmothers even want to call television and boast about how beautiful their entrance was. But for me this is an expression of creativity, I got real pleasure, rejoicing that I bring joy to people.
As it wasAnd how it became.

Entrance decoration for a wedding. Decorating and decorating ideas
It is impossible to hold a wedding without capturing the happy faces of the newlyweds and invited guests. The presence of a photographer or videographer at the celebration has become a tradition. And the bride price and whole set funny challenges for the groom is a custom that has its roots in the deep past. But unlike the ancient Russian customs of ransom, which began at the entrance to a village or village, modern grooms go through a thorny path to their favorite, climbing the steps of the entrances. And wedding photos against the backdrop of shabby walls are far from the most picturesque sight.
The bride and her bridesmaids at the bachelorette party usually think about how to decorate their own entrance on their wedding day. And right on the day of the celebration, from early morning they begin decorating the walls, floor and ceiling. However, there are always companies that offer a similar service for a fee.
How and what to decorate the entrance to a wedding
Not everyone can boast of renovations on all floors and a clean elevator. apartment house. Let's look at how to add solemnity and hide existing defects with decorations.
Each entrance begins with a door. Decorated with a garland of balls or fabric drapery, it looks very elegant. front entrance. But, if such a volumetric design is unacceptable, you can decorate the walls and the door itself with colored posters with funny inscriptions and wishes, paper and cardboard figures with traditional wedding symbols (including individual cardboard letters). The most modest decoration can be a wide silk ribbon and a tiny bouquet of flowers, fixed on a door handle or a decorative wreath of flowers, leaves, sweets, etc. However, you can combine all of the above, not forgetting about a sense of proportion and style, then the groom simply will not have a chance to drive past without recognizing his fiancée’s house.
Balloons, both helium and ordinary ones, always create an atmosphere of celebration and fun. You can combine a variety of shades or choose 1-2 contrasting colors and decorate the entrance with them.
Helium balloons look beautiful tied with colored ribbons to the railings of staircases or released right up to the ceiling. Balloons filled with ordinary air can be arranged into flowers by tying 4-5 balls together and securing them to railings and walls with ribbons or double-sided tape. To make the compositions more successful, you should use balloons different sizes– large for “petals” and small for “cores”.
Our parents decorated the entrances with traditional posters drawn on large Whatman paper back in the days of their weddings. But it is precisely such decorations that most completely hide the shortcomings on the walls. An alternative to outdated posters are ready-made posters from stores, as well as homemade letters and words (for example, Love) on separate sheets of paper of any size. Simply print them out and secure them with double-sided tape. Don't forget to pay off your grumpy neighbors with candy and a couple of glasses of alcohol.
Garlands - inexpensive and creative decoration. They are not difficult to make yourself from fabrics, paper, cardboard, tulle. You can hang garlands not only along the walls, but also on the windows, as well as across flights of stairs, blocking the groom's path to his beloved.
How to decorate a railing? It’s very simple - secure drapes made of organza, tulle, ordinary gauze or other fabric with ribbons, add some bows, balls, flower bouquets or wrap the railings with colored ribbons.
One of the most creative options– hanging tiny vases on the railings (medicine bottles, used light bulbs, glass bottles from under baby food) with fresh flowers.
Video - Buying the bride and decorating the entrance to the wedding
Of course, making repairs on all floors of the entrance before the wedding is expensive and pointless. Yes, and decorate absolutely all the spans too. It's enough just to transform front door, the first floor and the stairs in front of the door of the bride’s apartment, so that the redemption event is fun and unusual, and on wedding photos There were no random graffiti on the walls or peeling paint.
It is recommended to wash or sweep the entrance floors, and then either cover them with a carpet or sprinkle them with rose petals, confetti and sparkles. Paper signs on the steps will tell the groom how close he is to his goal, and colored hearts and stars will add romance and a festive atmosphere. To everything else, add a little imagination, a large share common sense and a sense of proportion, do not forget about the sense of style and those ransom competitions that you will prepare for your loved one.
