How to save space in a small hallway?

Shelves and mezzanines

To organize an entrance area as ergonomically as possible, it is worth using the area that usually remains empty in spacious hallways - this is space under the ceiling and above the door... Built-in cabinets, open shelves, hanging cabinets and even regular hooks. Headdresses can be placed on them.

Take a look examples of the arrangement of the hallway in Khrushchev.

Hanging pedestal

An effective and easy way to save space is to purchase floating furniture. Slim and light shoe rack will help to deceive your eyes, since the free space under it will create the impression of an empty space. The top of the bedside table will serve as a console for small items.

Choose furniture, some of the drawers of which can be used for accessories (hats, gloves), and some for shoes.

Built in furniture

Although the built-in storage systems take up a lot of space, they significantly save hallway space, as they fill every centimeter and unload pantries and dressing rooms in living rooms.

Designs are made to order: professionals calculate the most optimal options and manufacture furniture in accordance with the size and wishes of the client. And so that cabinets and cabinets do not eat up the space in the interior, choose mirrored facades or a body in the color of the walls.

A bright contrasting wardrobe, on the contrary, distracts attention from the small size of the hallway. To save space, it is better to use compartment doors instead of swing doors.

Roomy shoe-pouf

If there is not enough space for massive wardrobes, you can limit yourself to a multifunctional ottoman with a built-in drawer for shoe storage... It is convenient to sit on the soft lid or place bags on it when you come home.

Today ottomans manufactured in various configurations:

• with hinged lids like a chest,
• with hinged doors on the drawer
• and open type with shelves.

The padded design is suitable for hallway in classic style, and more laconic and practical shoe racks made of wood or chipboard - for modern trends.

Clothes bar

Floor stands are appropriate in large hallways, but they are inconvenient to use in tight spaces. A hanging bar located under the ceiling will help out: it looks stylish, light and, unlike a closet, takes up just as much space as clothes hang on a hanger.

The device is easy to make yourself by connecting the curtain rod with strong wires and fixing it on hooks.

Creative walls

And here is another way of unusual storage that saves space. If you are a creative person, fix wooden frames on the walls and pull a rope or elastic bands between them: it is convenient to place hats or shoes behind them.

This is the perfect solution for narrow hallways and corridors, as well as for large families: the whole variety of hats is in plain sight and at an accessible height.

Multifunctional hooks

At first glance, these products may seem too simple and budgetary option, but even such a "trifle" easily turns into a highlight of the interior, if you use your imagination. Painted in different colors, made with your own hands or bought on a Chinese site - having made a single composition, they will decorate the hallway and save a lot of space. And the hooks fixed under the shelf will become a reliable holder for the collection of bags.

Even a small hallway in an apartment is a room of strategic importance. The duration of fees, order in the apartment, and good mood depend on its thoughtful design.
