More storage space in the hallway: A cabinet for everything
A cabinet provides a lot of storage space. Here, jackets, bags, scarves, and bicycle helmets disappear. Small items such as gloves and hats can be stored in drawers or boxes, and tilt compartments, rods, or shelves create space for your shoes. Since everything disappears behind closed doors, the hallway appears neat and tidy.
In a household with children, the hallway cabinet can be set up for both generations: If some compartments and a clothes rail are installed in the lower area, the little ones can reach their jackets themselves. The area above can be used by the adults.
Coat rack benches with storage are seating and storage in one
A seat in the hallway is particularly practical for putting on shoes. With a bench with storage, you can kill two birds with one stone: On the one hand, you can comfortably put on and take off your shoes, on the other hand, the bench offers storage space for umbrellas, guest slippers, scarves and bags. A black shoe rack or a white shoe bench with a reinforced top can also serve as a shoe rack and seating area.
Use the full height for more storage space in the hallway
For more storage space in the hallway, you should use the full height of your entrance area.Cabinets should reach up to the ceiling and shelves or individual shelf boards at overhead height create space for decorative baskets, in which you can store scarves, hats, and gloves that you need less frequently. With a stool or step ladder, these are quickly accessible and quickly stowed away again. A ceiling-mounted coat rack is also suitable for creating additional storage space: Unlike conventional coat racks, you can place other furniture underneath it, so you are essentially using the space twice.
Wall hooks as an alternative to the classic coat rack
If the hallway is long and narrow, horizontally hanging coat hangers often do not fit into the entrance area. Therefore, one of the tips for narrow hallways is clearly a wall hook coat rack. This way, jackets and coats take up less space.In addition, wall hooks are particularly flexible as they can be distributed individually on the wall. You can decide for yourself how many hooks you need, at what height or in what pattern they should be placed, and you can add hooks at any time without having to buy a completely new wardrobe. Compared to a massive wardrobe, individual wall hooks also appear light and airy.
Console tables create storage space in the hallway for keys and the like
Commodes or console tables serve as storage surfaces. Particularly narrow and delicate examples made of black metal also fit into a small and narrow hallway. Here you can put down your keys, your mobile phone and the mail when you come in.Decorated with vases and other decorative pieces, you create a cozy and inviting atmosphere and can showcase the piece of furniture well.
Use the space under the stairs and niches for more storage in the hallway
If there is a staircase to the upper floors in the entrance area, this is a blessing for additional storage space in the hallway. In many cases, however, the storage space under the stairs is not used. It's a shame, because this is where a wardrobe can find its place as well as a shelf that provides storage for hats, scarves, and bags. Shoe cabinets or chests of drawers are also suitable so that this space is not wasted.
Niches are also often overlooked as storage space in the hallway and remain empty.Here you will find a place for the vacuum cleaner and with a suitable or custom-made shelf, you can make excellent use of this space.
Particularly cheeky: More storage space in the hallway with a shoe cabinet in the wall
Especially in old apartments, there are often shelves or cabinets that are built into the walls. As a wardrobe, they are usually too narrow, but with slanted compartments, they are perfect as a shoe cabinet. When closed, the shoes disappear behind the door and thus out of sight. However, when opened, you have a good overview of your shoe collection and can quickly find the right pair. In a particularly narrow hallway, sliding doors ensure that the cabinet can be opened without any problems, as no doors protrude into the room.
Less stuff – more storage space in the hallway
To prevent the entrance area from appearing cluttered and to keep it tidy, decluttering helps. Minimalist living is very much in trend and not only brings order to the entrance area, but also to our thoughts. Sorted out items do not have to be thrown away immediately, but can be resold, given away or donated. For the small step towards a minimalist hallway, you can distribute some things to other rooms and give certain clothes and items a new place in the bedroom or living room.
With a few tricks and the right pieces of furniture, you can create storage space in the hallway and design a neat and tidy entrance area.
