In the morning, you spoil your mood, in a hurry trying to find the keys, a scarf and a second glove; guests freeze on the doorstep, not knowing where to attach their wet outerwear; the closet is ready to burst from the abundance of things … Sound familiar?

We will tell you how to make your life easier if you got a small hallway.

Call the basket for help

The hallway is the most problematic area in terms of organizing order. It is only in the pictures of interior studios that small-sized entrance areas look neat and minimalist; in practice, small hallways quickly absorb chaos. 

A textile, wicker or metal basket is a handy utility accessory. To save the hallway from homeless little things, you can select different baskets for scarves, gloves, umbrellas, slippers, children’s toys. 

Use all free space

Namely: corners, ends and space above the door. An ergonomic shelf with a key holder and / or open shelves for shoes can find a place in the corner, which, if necessary, can “grow” up to the ceiling itself.

Choose a floating console

Suspended consoles not only save space in fact, but also visually relieve space. In addition, they lack furniture legs that complicate the cleaning process – an important point for a hallway with its dirty reputation.

The right shoe rack

Especially for narrow hallways, narrow shoe racks have been invented, which can also “float”, creating the illusion of an empty space, and their upper part can be used as a surface for small things.

Sit down

Try to “squeeze” a seating place into a small hallway, with it the interior will look more aesthetically pleasing, and you can comfortably take off and put on your shoes without squatting to tie your laces.
