Hallway wallpaper
In almost any dwelling, the hallway serves as a kind of vestibule, it is here that outerwear and shoes are put on and off, and all kinds of outdoor devices and devices (bicycles, skis, sledges) are stored. It is for this reason that wallpaper for the hallway should have a number of characteristics:

Natural wallpapers are popular – bamboo, reed, they not only look very extravagant, but also have high environmental friendliness.
