Hallway storage ideas
Content:
It is important to carefully consider the interior design of each room in a house or apartment. First of all, owners think about living rooms and a kitchen. However, the arrangement of the hallway also needs to be done correctly, because it begins to impress the guests and sets the mood of the atmosphere for the apartment owners.
Regardless of the size of this room, you can organize the space so as to accommodate the maximum of useful and functional items, and place the necessary everyday and seasonal items. To get the perfect design, just look through modern ideas and advice from designers, and adopt those that will certainly come in handy during renovations and arranging the hallway of your house.
Storage features in the hallway
The hallway in any home, regardless of its size, should be compatible in interior design with the rest of the rooms. It can become the link that will unite all the other rooms into a single harmonious combination, even if they are decorated in different styles.
When choosing the interior and furniture for this part of the house, it is important to consider that it usually has limited access to natural light. Therefore, it is important to exclude the option when an already darkened room becomes completely gloomy and gloomy. You can use different ideas for this:
- install mirrors;
- use light shades in wall decoration to visually expand the space;
- carefully consider artificial lighting in accordance with the interior style.
Having decided on the basic principles of finishing and design, you can begin choosing storage systems for things and objects.
Storage spaces
Popular solutions for the functional organization of storage areas in the hallway:
- Niches and shelves around the door. An excellent solution, even in the case of a narrow corridor. The space on the side of the front door can be equipped with open shelves, a cabinet, racks with drawers and compartments. This composition can be easily supplemented with decorative details, thanks to which the interior will sparkle in a new way.
- Wardrobe and banquette. Both pieces of furniture can be used as practical storage systems. This method is multi-functional, because cabinets can simultaneously serve as a tabletop for small items or decor, and the banquette hides inside itself a full-fledged place for storing various things.
- If you want to visually leave maximum free space in the hallway, then a good option is a closet that covers the entire wall. In this case, it will be easy to place outerwear for all seasons, shoes, and accessories.
- Open hangers. Such systems remain at the top when arranging hallways in different styles - from classic to ultra-modern trends. Such a laconic module will allow you to allocate space for outerwear and accessories without hiding valuable centimeters with the bulky design of a full-fledged closet.
The best way to decorate a hallway is to first think through everything, measure, calculate and draw up a detailed design project.
Additional storage
Depending on the layout of the apartment or private house, there are many more interesting ideas on how to allocate additional space in the hallway for storing things:
- Create a full-fledged dressing room under the stairs. The layout of such a room will ultimately depend on the height and area, however, even in a small closet you can create a comfortable storage system by installing shelving.
- Built-in furniture. This option is suitable for hallways where there are initially ledges and niches. This method works well in interiors such as loft, minimalism, hi-tech, where free space and the absence of an abundance of objects are welcome.
- Storage systems in corners. In order to rationally use the space in the hallway, it makes sense to consider placing racks and shelves in the corners. Such furniture can be placed at partial or full height of the wall, depending on the number of things to be stored.
To better navigate which system is right for you, it is better to first study photos of different storage ideas in the hallway.
What is worth considering?
A few additional nuances will help create the perfect interior:
- You shouldn’t completely abandon the hallway, even if the room for it is small. The minimum that can be done to save useful centimeters is to highlight the entrance area with a different wall and floor finish.
- Motley is not the best solution for decorating a hallway. Not only for the reason that bright colors quickly become boring and tire the eye. Dirt from the street often spreads into the hallway at different times of the year - this will be more noticeable on a bright finish than on a neutral one.
- Excessively bulky furniture, as well as its complete absence, are ideas that should be abandoned immediately. For minimalism, it is better to limit yourself to a small cabinet or ottoman, a key holder and hangers.
And in any case, you should not try to store all unnecessary things in the hallway. This is not a warehouse, but an area that sets the atmosphere of the house. Therefore, it should already be as comfortable as possible and at the same time stylish, practical, functional and beautiful. And achieving such a result is not difficult if you correctly use the ideas of professional designers.
