Wardrobe in the hallway: the best implementation ideas. Decoration of small hallways Wardrobe that stood in the hallway

In the hallway you need a closet or hanger for storing clothes. An ordinary closet is inconvenient due to swing doors that block the passage, and a hanger with a bunch of clothes does not look as aesthetically pleasing as we would like. Therefore, in recent years, more and more often they put a closet in the hallway. This type furniture allows you to rationally use the entire usable volume - due to shelves, baskets, hangers, etc.

Construction types

Sliding wardrobes are of three types. Built-in ones differ in that they occupy some kind of niche and do not have their own walls, floor and ceiling. A similar design is also made when it is possible to fence off part of the room from wall to wall. In this case, they simply order a facade (doors) for a sliding wardrobe with a system of rollers and guides. Partitions are placed inside and the filling is fixed / installed. In some hallways, a built-in closet is made on the site of the former pantry, with a different layout, it is possible to fence off a part at the end.

If this is not possible, put a sliding wardrobe. This is a full-fledged large wardrobe with a back wall. sides, floor and ceiling. It differs in the design of doors and filling. Another difference is that they try to make this type of storage systems right up to the ceiling in order to make the most of all the space. Yes, and it looks more organic.

Decoration and design ideas

First, let's talk about what wardrobes are made of. The whole structure can be divided into a body and a facade (doors). The body is made of laminated chipboard or. The option with chipboard is cheaper, but the structures are only straight-lined - this material does not bend and its manufacturing technology does not allow to obtain curved surfaces. MDF is a more environmentally friendly and expensive material. Here you can form rounded edges from it.

Facades or doors for sliding wardrobes are made of different materials, framed in a frame from a profile. Use:

Laminated chipboard and MDF. The laminating film can repeat the texture of wood, leather, be monochromatic matte or glossy, with a geometric or floral pattern.
The texture can be anything - up to imitation of crocodile skin
Glass. Transparent glass is almost never used, but colored or frosted glass can be found.
Mirror. A very common material. Drawings are applied to the surface using sandblasting technology. They can cover the mirror almost completely, leaving small fragments of the intact mirror, or they can be applied only in fragments.
Separately, it is worth mentioning photography. This technology allows you to transfer any image to film. This film is then glued to the facade.

But most often you can find combined facades. Various combinations of the materials listed above give just an incredible number of design options. You can develop a design for any interior and taste. Some examples are in the photo below.

Read how to make sliding doors for a wardrobe yourself.

Horizontal division is a widely used technique

Three textures at once - fiberboard, mirror and sandblasted pattern

Sliding wardrobe with lighting - convenient

Floral ornament is one of the common themes

Imitation wooden surface, but an unusual combination with a different direction of "fibers"

Simple and tasteful - frosted glass with horizontal divisions

Using even the space above the doors is a good idea for a small hallway.

How will a different organization of a small hallway change the quality of your life?
THIS IS A CABINET, THEY ARE SITTING ON IT
In the magazine photos, all the hallways are sterile clean and touchingly comfortable. In reality, dirty boots, boots with knotted laces and crumpled scarves live here. The easiest way to maintain if not order, but at least its feeling is to hide all things in a closet.
Idea in the photo: pay attention to how you can combine a wardrobe and a bench (with a shoe rack) in the hallway.

CHAIR HANGER
One chair, one Lack shelf from a Swedish hypermarket - and here you have an impromptu shoe rack for the dirty part of the hallway in the best traditions of the Ikea Hackers community. On such a hanger it is shown to dry wet twists, leave hats and umbrellas. A console table is useful for bags and gloves. The shelf also acts as a parking lot for dirty shoes: after all, if you don’t give them a place, they will stand around the entire perimeter of the hallway.

LEGO KEY CASE
Nothing makes a person late for work more nervous than a child asking to use the toilet and missing keys. If nothing can be done about the first, then the problem with the keys is completely solvable. Just give them a separate place in the entrance area on a special key holder. Yes, we forgot to warn you: it remains to accustom yourself to leave the keys in the key holder. Some two or three years of training - and order!

A million-dollar idea for those whose children have grown out of Lego - use the designer to make a key holder: a long bar is glued to the wall as a holder, and the joined fragments cling to the keys like a keychain.
KEYS ON A ROPE
Are you still looking for keys everywhere in the morning? Well, then such an option is a chain-keychain (or keychain-spring). Clings to a bag or belt loop, sold in tourist shops; can be discharged from China through a well-known online flea market.

MORE BASKETS, GOOD AND DIFFERENT
The weak point of the average hallway is not even the size, but the disorganization of a metaphysical nature. There was just order - and already an exhibition of shoes, hats falling on the head and children's toys underfoot.

A little trick: “sorting” baskets help to keep order in the hallway - their own for scarves, gloves, hats, slippers, etc. Then small things will not roll around anywhere.
Any baskets will do: steel, wicker, wicker or fabric. This item is good because it replaces a closet drawer and can stand/hang anywhere.

A big advantage of wire baskets over fabric or wood ones is that they look lighter and do not visually clutter up the space. In addition, you can immediately see what is where. Finally, steel is easier to clean.

FROM THE CHILDREN'S ROOM - TO THE HALLWAY
Something, but we learned to sort and hide children's toys. It's time to use the accumulated experience and furniture in the hallway. We look at the photo: the “Ikeevskaya” storage system with sliding plastic drawers is a finished bench and baskets for the hallway. And if a niche of a suitable size was still found for her, then without hesitation we hang sliding door: hide the mess of dirty boots and jackets according to recipe #1.

HOOKS IN THE HALLWAY
Nothing encourages children to keep their belongings in order more than their own hallway hooks.
Idea: Children's and adult clothes are obviously different sizes and it is unergonomic to place them on hooks at the same height. Arrange the holders randomly - and the "lump of jackets" will be evenly distributed over the wall.

INSTEAD OF BASKETS - BUCKETS
How long have you been tripping over a dump truck in the hallway? Such a rack, as in the photo, with signed buckets for outdoor toys, will save nerve cells for a couple of years of life.

You can, of course, hope that at the same time it will teach the child to order. But most likely it will just help you not to spread the sand from the sandbox further than the bucket container. The main thing is that it is easy to reach out to him from the threshold.
FOR DOG OWNERS
Embedding dog bowls in a drawer on the lower tier of a wardrobe in the hallway means solving two problems at once: firstly, with a place, and secondly, with bowls in the interior.
Such a cabinet is especially good on the border of the kitchen and the hallway - you don’t have to run far with dirty bowls and back.
HOOKS UNDER THE SHELVESThis is not only ergonomic (frees up space on the countertop), but also convenient. For some reason everyone forgets about it. The second underestimated resource is clothespin hooks: with their help, for example, it is good to store and dry mittens.

ROOM FOR CABINET IN HALLWAY
pay attention to front door- the space around it is most often used not very rationally (that is, in no way). Maybe the fact is that we are looking for all the solutions, looking "into the apartment", and not "on the street".

SHELVES IN THE WALL
A great idea for a small hallway: a 20 x 30 cm space will be enough to accommodate all seasonal shoes, even where rain, snow, heat and cold can happen in one week.

Tip: Complete a floor-to-ceiling shoe closet with a louvered sash to keep the inevitable dust from settling on clean shoes.
END RODS
In order for hangers with outerwear to fit freely on an ordinary longitudinal bar, at least 55 cm is required. The wardrobe will eat another 5 to 10 cm, depending on the design of the doors. Not everywhere there is so much space. An easy way to solve this problem is to replace the longitudinal rod with several end ones.

Tip: Calculate the load correctly: 8 hangers fit on a standard 40 cm end bar, but we are talking about shirts. Most likely, you should not hang more than 3-4 jackets on such a design. ON
BACK SIDE OF DOOR
Life hack for a door that opens to the wall. Hooks and narrow baskets, screwed to the canvas from the side of the room, will help not only store things, but also hide them from prying eyes when the door is open. The reception is suitable for both the nursery and the hallway.

MIRROR DOORS
Remember that the curse of slanted corner bathrooms and built-in cabinets is removed with the help of full-length mirrored glazing from the hallway. The main thing is to warn guests about this even before they hit their foreheads on the mirror.

CARPET FROM TILE
You always want to “warm” the floor in the hallway, so that it is immediately clear that this is already an apartment. But the prospect of washing carpets every week makes us choose easy-to-clean tiles.
But in fact, there is no contradiction: floor tile manufacturers produce ceramic "carpets" of various geometric shapes, and you can install a film underfloor heating system - the rise compared to coatings in other rooms will not be significant.

INVISIBLE FURNITURE
If there is not much space, choose transparent plastic furniture - it does not “eat up” the space. Yes, and "levitating" bags will add mystery to the hallway.

MAINTAIN PAINT
The material is not cheap (on average 1500-2000 rubles per 0.5 liter), it smells noticeably when applied, but the result is spectacular. You can attach messages to the wall with magnets. Magnets! On the wall!

TILT SHELVES
There is no need to reinvent the wheel - for a narrow hallway, narrow shoe racks with inclined shelves have long been invented. Due to the slope, just those 10 cm are removed that make you think "do I need this bulky cuttlefish in the hallway."
Fact: If you already have a shoe cabinet, replace the shelves with slanted ones (sold in construction hypermarkets). And guess on the door a place to store shoe chemicals - fix shallow wire baskets. Buy them in the "filling for kitchen cabinets" section.

BOTTLENECK
In a narrow niche or corridor, you can make a narrow hanger according to individual sizes. For example - from a pipe.

SHELF-CONSOLE
This solution is doubly beneficial, since the rack is also a long shelf-console for vases, photographs and trinkets.

The entrance hall is the most open room for prying eyes. Absolutely everyone sees it: the courier who brought the pizza, and the neighbor who came for salt, and the colleague who dropped in for a visit, and the friends invited to the party. That is why the entrance hall should be stylish, cozy, comfortable: it will tell guests about our design abilities and excellent taste.

But what if the hallway is very small? First, don't get upset. After all, this is a reason to be glad that the corridor will not require high costs for repairs. Secondly, we will get the opportunity to show our creativity to prove to everyone: a small hallway can be beautiful and functional.

To begin with, we note that in each hallway (even a small one) should be:

a mirror in which we will evaluate our image before going out into the street;
a wardrobe or panel-hanger for outerwear (if the house has a dressing room, then you can get by with a simple hanger);
shoe rack (an unusually comfortable piece of furniture);
cabinet or chest of drawers for storing small items;
a place where you can sit down to take off or put on your shoes;
a place where you can put your bag at the entrance to the apartment.

There are ways to visually increase the space of the hallway and at the same time fit everything you need into it (and most importantly, do not clutter it up with unnecessary furniture).

1. We place a mirror on the front door or cabinet door

The hallway is unthinkable without a mirror. But since we save every free centimeter, it is better to place a mirror on the closet door, front door or above the shelves with shoes.

2. We bring the hallway to the shape of a square

We will try to at least visually fit the shape of the hallway under the square. For example, you can "cut" a narrow long corridor if you take away the far part of the free space to equip a large closet. Thus, the main part of the hallway (the beginning of the corridor) will seem a little more spacious.

3. The minimum width of the passage in the hallway is 80 cm

More is possible and necessary, less is impossible. Let's not clutter up the space. It is better to completely remove one bedside table than to squeeze between the corners of furniture every day. In the hallway, we should be comfortable standing, sitting, bending over, taking off and putting on shoes and outerwear. If we are uncomfortable, we will give up the excess.

4. We decorate the walls correctly

When decorating the walls, we use light shades, decorate the corridor with paintings “with a perspective” or small mirrors - and visually the room will seem more spacious.

5. Choose a hanger panel

When choosing between a wardrobe and a hanger panel, we should stop at the latter. You can place quite a lot of clothes on it, but unlike a closet, a hanger panel takes up much space. less space. Of course, only seasonal things that we wear every day should hang on it.

6. If the corridor is narrow, put the furniture along one wall

We select furniture that will organically fit into a narrow corridor, if you put it against one wall close to each other. We will leave the second wall completely free, with the exception of beautiful paintings or a mirror.

For example, we have a shoe rack near the door itself, it will also be a place to sit and store a bag. We attach a hanger panel above the shoe rack, then we place a chest of drawers or a cabinet in which we will store small things, and we put a large wardrobe at the very end of the corridor.

7. Corner hallway saves space

Another way to save space is to put a corner hallway. The corner cabinet fits perfectly into the interior: it looks very compact on the outside, but in fact it holds a lot of things. In such a corner hallway it is convenient to store not only outerwear, but also hats, scarves, hats and bags.

8. We put furniture "all in one"

Furniture for a small hallway, if possible, should combine several functions at once. You can combine a wardrobe and a mirror, a mirror and a cabinet, a hanger and a cabinet. Well, if the hallway combines everything at once. For example, as spacious hallways from the Angstrem company (www.angstrem-mebel.ru).

The hallway area is the first thing we see when entering the apartment. As you know, the impression of a home is formed in the first seconds, which is why it is so important to correctly, concisely, and most importantly, functionally arrange pieces of furniture in the hallway.

Hallways are completely different, but main feature this space in our country is almost always an insufficiently large area and a lot doorways leading to other rooms.

Let's list the pieces of furniture that should preferably be present in the hallway (in order from the most necessary to the recommended):

Shoe cabinet (ideally - a place to store clean shoes and at least one shelf with a grate for dirty and wet shoes);
ottoman (or other seat for removing shoes);
hanger for today's outerwear;
wardrobe for seasonal outerwear (if there is a dressing room near the hallway for this purpose, the wardrobe is canceled);
a mirror, ideally - in full growth (in order to evaluate your appearance before going out);
a place for storing small items (most often, it is a cabinet or chest of drawers - it is convenient to store a notebook, small change, keys, gloves, scarves and hats in it - by the way, modern fashion has almost completely replaced large hats, so many families refuse hanging shelves and cabinets above the hanger and store knitted hats in drawers);
umbrella;
a place where to put the bag upon arrival (it can be a separate special chair or pouffe).

Basic rules for organizing a hallway

The shape of the hallway has washed away as close as possible to the square(if there is such a possibility). That is, a narrow and long room can be made shorter by taking part of it to equip a spacious closet.
To save space, a full-length mirror can be on the interior door.(this is not a fixed element after the fact, but an initially ordered item from the door manufacturer) or on the cabinet doors.
Wardrobe for outerwear in small and narrow rooms is best done with sliding doors than with swing. When opening, they do not take a single centimeter of such precious space, moving along the installed rails along the front wall of the cabinet. With the design here, of course, there are not too many options (such cabinets look quite modern), but in any case, you can find a way out. Classic models can be made from natural wood, with capitals, curly cornices and carved decorative elements, and in more modern styles you just need to choose the right materials in accordance with the interior, the color and thickness of the profile, and if you wish, order fusing on glass or a mirror with the image of lines, ornaments, figures or other decorative elements.
Remember ergonomics - 80 cm is the minimum allowable passage width in the hallway. Leaving less space is strongly discouraged. It is better to reduce the number of items in the hallway to a minimum, otherwise you risk squeezing between items, hitting everything in your path from hangers, chest of drawers, shoes and other items. And for large people it will be completely inconvenient.
Make active use of visuals.

Do you want the room to look like:

Spacious - use a not too large pattern on the wallpaper;

Above - use vertical lines and stripes;

Below (if the room is too small and narrow, and even with a normal ceiling height in the hallway, the effect of a “well” is created) - decorative molding can be glued not at the junction of the ceiling and wall, but lower, approximately 30 cm from the ceiling. Then the baguette itself should not be angular in shape, but flat with reverse side to stick firmly to the wall. Draw a part of the wall below the baguette as usual, and paint 30 centimeters at the top with the same paint as the ceiling. Thus, visually the walls will become lower, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling will increase;

Wider - along long walls in a narrow hallway, place objects and coatings with a reflective effect. It can be semi-matte wall paint, mirrors in the form of decorative paintings or solid rectangles fixed on the walls, glossy MDF furniture and other tricks. More than ever, furniture made of transparent plastic (a bench for sitting or a chair can be made of it) or with mirrored facades (chest of drawers for small things, for example) is relevant now. For the same purposes, one can use flooring- wood, tiles or carpets. All of them also have a texture, shape or pattern that, when properly placed, will enhance the effect you want.

What to look for when planning

And now - a few technological points that are not always taken into account during repairs, and then create inconvenience for residents or negatively affect the appearance of the hallway:

ENTRANCE AND INTERROOM DOORS. Make sure that the design of the entrance doors and interior doors that open into the hallway are combined with each other (it is better to order all interior doors in one design).

HOW THE DOORS OPEN. Pay attention to how the doors open: if into the corridor, they should not intersect with each other. Opening also affects the appearance of the doors - depending on the thickness of the walls on both sides of the box, they will look different - ask the manager in the salon to show you the difference so that you understand which product you will end up with. For appearance, it will definitely be better that everything interior doors opened either only to the corridor, or only to the rooms.

WARM FLOOR. Consider installing electric underfloor heating in the area of the door mat - often there are dirty and wet shoes, which dry much faster if the heat comes from below. In addition, having taken off your shoes, it is much more pleasant to stand with your feet on a heated surface than on a cold tile.

LIGHTING. Take care of sufficient lighting near the mirror and inside the cabinet. It is better to place one switch for local lighting immediately at the entrance, the other (if the hallway is quite large and long), a walk-through, closer to the living area, so that you do not have to go to the other end of the corridor several times a day, turning on the light. It can be convenient to place the motion sensor so that the light turns on automatically (this should not be a hindrance for pet owners - you just need to properly adjust the sensor in place so that it perceives movement, say, only above the level of 50 cm).

SOCKETS. Make an outlet near the entrance. Sometimes there may need to turn on the electric shoe dryer or charge mobile phone(Yes, you never know what other innovations will befall us in the near future).

DOORPHONE, ELECTRIC PANEL. Do not forget that most often in the hallway there are: an electrical panel, an intercom, an alarm system. All these devices require space and certain conclusions, so make a plan, already considering in advance exactly where the devices will be located and their dimensions.

ITEM FOR MEN. Not always, but really often they ask to build a horizontal bar in the apartment. And if there is no place for this on the balcony, the area at the front door is also a good option. Definitely better than the living room. Therefore, its presence, if planned, should be planned in advance, strengthen the wall at the stage of rough work and prepare it for attaching the horizontal bar with anchor bolts.

Hallway design options

Here we will consider several types of hallways and, using examples, we will analyze how to properly arrange the main pieces of furniture. Below, another layout option will be indicated for comparison, as well as its errors and shortcomings.

1. VERY LONG HALLWAY

If the hallway is unreasonably long, it is quite possible to think about equipping its far part as a pantry or dressing room. Perhaps now your hallway looks different, but in a few typical layouts it costs quite a bit to painlessly move the doorway to the living room during the repair, and you will get an open room that is much closer to a square in size, as well as a closed part of it, where you can store a huge amount of necessary things - from outerwear to household appliances.

Top sample furniture arrangement - a prime example correct planning.

In the second case, the owners, having the same space, disposed of it not entirely prudently. Right at the entrance there is a large wardrobe, which makes the room narrow - in addition, its opposite end rises quite cumbersomely in the middle of the hallway. The mirror and the pouffe are far enough from the entrance, therefore, the residents will put on their shoes far from the entrance, carrying dirt and dust along the entire corridor and, consequently, the rooms.

2. VERY NARROW HALLWAY

It is quite difficult to arrange objects in a narrow hallway. Initially, they need to be chosen as shallow as possible.

In the first case, starting from the fact that there is more space on one side of the front door, the owners designed furniture that stood close to each other. So, in the middle there was a deep wardrobe and on the sides of it - a shoe rack and a chest of drawers for small items. This made it possible to slightly hide the ends of the cabinet and use the entire space from wall to wall, varying between furniture depths of 45 and 60 centimeters. A full-length mirror hangs on the opposite side, it is very thin and does not interfere with moving between rooms.

In another case, dimensional objects seem to be scattered around the hallway. The closet is near the entrance itself, which repeats the mistake from the previous paragraph, the chest of drawers is located at the intersection of movement routes between rooms and it is very likely that residents will often hit its corners. Shoe cabinet and mirror - very far from the entrance, which is quite inconvenient.

3. VERY SMALL HALLWAY

A small entrance hall, in which all the doors, moreover, open inwards, gives very little room for imagination. Here it is better to be guided by the rule "less is more". Place the most necessary elements at the entrance - a hanger for today's outerwear, a mirror and a pouffe for shoes, or a very thin shoe rack if there is enough space. At the same time, remember - closer to the entrance, if there is no niche for deepening the furniture at all, place the narrowest objects.

As you can see, in the first version this rule is observed, but not in the second, therefore, only by opening the front door, the owners and their guests literally rest against the pouf and cannot go further along the hallway without obstacles. You will have to take care of storing things and equip another part of the apartment for this, because by putting a closet in such a hallway, you risk simply blocking one of the entrances.

2
Each hallway is complex in its own way. But any room has its errors and shortcomings. Remember that in any situation it is possible to competently solve the existing difficult problems. It is important to understand what is important and what is secondary, and slowly think rationally about how to effectively use what you have.

The entrance hall meets us when we come home and escorts us when we leave on business. Here we meet guests and say goodbye to them. As they say, a person is greeted by clothes - so the apartment is greeted by the hallway. Often this part of the apartment has a very limited area, and so that outerwear and shoes do not get underfoot, sometimes you have to seriously break your head.

Therefore, all the furniture in this room should be compact and as functional as possible. An important role in the atmosphere is played by the closet in the hallway. It should be roomy, at the same time taking up a minimum of space. For any layout, you can choose a model that fits perfectly into the interior.

The designs of this piece of furniture are usually divided into cabinet and built-in. The first type is a one-piece structure that can be moved freely. The second option, according to its name, is built into the wall and consists of doors connected to a fastening system. The absence of walls makes it much cheaper, but requires certain planning nuances. Photo of cabinets in the hallway different designs can be found on the internet.

The internal filling of the cabinet (the number and location of shelves, drawers, sections) must be chosen, taking into account the characteristics of the room and the number of things that are supposed to be stored in it. Today it is not difficult to buy a custom-made model, taking into account all the wishes.

Types of cabinets in the hallway

Corner cupboard

Spacious and ergonomic corner cabinet will fit into the hallway of any size. If it has a square or close to it shape, this option will be optimal.

The corner model, depending on the characteristics of the room, can ideally fill a niche in the wall. Doors are selected sliding or hinged. Do not forget that the sliding mechanism requires additional space, so the owners of cramped hallways should opt for a narrower cabinet.

Closet corner design, as a rule, is divided into sections: the closed part is intended for outerwear, and the open part includes shelves, drawers and additional hooks. They can store hats, keys, umbrellas and other little things. A large drawer is built into the lower part for storing shoes. The depth is usually 60-70 cm.

They are made from popular furniture boards: chipboard (chipboard), fibreboard (hardboard) and MDF. For decoration use high-quality fittings, glass, mirrors, metal.

Closet

One of best solutions for the hallway is a closet. Built into the wall, it will harmoniously fit into the interior, visually occupying a minimum of precious space. In addition to rods for outerwear, it necessarily provides for shelves, a shoe box and small drawers for storing hats and accessories. If space permits, you can add compartments for a folded stroller, children's bike, sled or vacuum cleaner.

The depth of the cabinet is usually 60 cm, but you can purchase an option with a smaller depth. If necessary, lighting is provided inside.

The design of the cabinet can be the most diverse: a mirrored facade, photo printing, imitation of stone or wood in a color suitable for the setting.

The material can be real wood, usually oak or pine, or a more budgetary chipboard. Additional decor is made of plastic or glass.

Cabinet cabinet

Cabinets reminiscent of pencil cases with closed facades are cabinet one-piece cabinets that will look good in spacious hallways. The door opening mechanism here is not sliding, but hinged - in a narrow and cramped corridor it will not be the best choice.

The main advantage of the design is that the internal filling is hidden behind the doors. Firstly, it protects things from dust and dirt, which inevitably enters the apartment from the street, and secondly, there is no need to maintain impeccable order where no one will see it.

Made of solid wood, decorated with forged fittings and carvings, it will perfectly complement the interior of your home. classical style. A more concise design will suit a minimalist modern interior.

Cabinet with open front

The decision to use an open front is a great choice for a closet in a small hallway. It takes up minimal space and is very easy to use. Open models look like brothers closed type but no doors.

For him, you do not need to take into account the additional space for opening the doors, as is the case with sliding or hinged doors, and to take the jacket, just reach out and remove it from the hook. Bottom Models open type there is space for shoes, and along the side walls there are boxes for small items and accessories.

The big disadvantage is that things are always in sight, which makes it difficult to maintain order and at the same time increases the requirements for it.

Wardrobe in a niche

A closet in a niche is certainly one of the most practical in terms of space saving. If the layout of the room provides for a special niche, consider yourself lucky. Hidden, it not only becomes a continuation of the wall, but also saves maximum space in the corridor. If desired, it can be embedded so that it will not be noticeable at all.

If the builders did not foresee a niche, you can artificially create the impression that it exists. For this, a special frame is built, the side walls of which are finished in the same way as the other walls of the room.

Having a place to sit makes the process of putting on shoes much more pleasant. It is more convenient to lace up boots or sneakers, to put on high boots, if there is a place to sit down during this activity. Depending on the available space, you can choose a suitable chair or pouffe, but more often you have to do this while leaning against the wall.

The design of this cabinet already provides a place where you can sit with relative comfort. It usually has an open front, and the seating area is both a shoe box and located under the coat hooks.

A hallway with a closet always looks neater than just hanging jackets. Depending on the goals that this piece of furniture faces, the available funds and the characteristics of the room in which it will stand, the requirements for size, depth, number of drawers and shelves, and type of construction change.

The built-in type due to the lack of walls is suitable for those who are limited in finances. In addition, it will save space. Lighter finishes will help visually expand the space, while darker finishes look spectacular and fit free spaces.

The classic depth of the cabinet is equal to the width of the hanger (60-70 cm), but if you place the bar not along, but across, you can reduce it by 20-30 cm. Inside, if the depth allows, you can carry out lighting.

Mirrored doors are not only convenient due to the fact that they allow you to immediately evaluate the appearance, but also help to visually expand a small room.

Special attention should be paid to fittings - they must be strong enough to withstand the weight of heavy winter jackets. The best choice there will be metal fittings from European, especially German, manufacturers. Which rail for sliding doors choosing is a matter of taste, but remember that the bottom rail type is cheaper and has a simpler design than the top rail type.

A very convenient option is when part of the closet is closed by a facade, and part is not: you can remove unnecessary things inside, leaving only the most necessary things outside. The upper part can be turned into spacious mezzanines for storing rarely used items.

Lovers of cute little things will love a small shelf on which they can be beautifully arranged. Another shelf can be used for keys, newspapers or a landline phone.

When choosing a material, you should pay attention to models made of solid wood. This option is more expensive, but it is characterized by increased durability and luxurious appearance. More accessible material can be refined according to the tastes of the owner.

The cabinet, being a piece of furniture, should fit harmoniously into it. For this modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of models made in the most different styles: these are carved facades in the Baroque style, and plastic trim, and ornate Arabic patterns. With patience, you can choose a model that is ideal for any environment and preferences of the owner.
