Organization of the hallway space – storage of things and shoes

The fact that the house is valued in the hallway is known to everyone, therefore it is necessary to make it out so that at the first glance at its interior it was clear how interesting and hospitable people here live. Make the entrance hall cozy, beautiful, relatively spacious – this is the primary task for those who begin to repair their homes, and help to deal with it properly organized storage of things and shoes in the corridor.

In a spacious hallway to solve this issue will be somewhat easier, since the possibilities of its area are not limited. With a small corridor will have to suffer, however, with some effort and including imagination and it can be made charming and attractive.

Organize the order

“It’s sometimes impossible to enter closed structures for storing things and shoes in such a corridor because of the tightness and inefficient positioning of the interior doors”

The guarantee of the comfort of the hall is correctly chosen furniture, not only in color and textural solutions, but also in the structural plan. Look at your corridor, which will fit in better: a compact closet or all-inclusive modular system? Selecting furniture elements, more emphasis on their functionality.

1. Priority of choice should be closed closets. In a small hallway such built-in furniture with mirrored doors will serve not one purpose. First of all, this solution is aesthetically pleasing. Then, the space is corrected. How? And really, and illusory. In a real sense, the cabinet is compact, and therefore, with its capacity, it takes up a little space. The illusion of expansion will be presented by mirror surfaces, which fill the room with additional light and volume. Especially successful this move will be for a small hallway.

And also, the mirror in the doors of the cabinet has a purely practical application. It is convenient to look dressed in it. There is an opportunity to evaluate your species in full growth. Why should I say there are no open shelves and mezzanines for storing things and shoes in the corridor? Because it:

a) looks untidy;

b) makes the room even closer than it is in reality.

2. Put in the hallway a rack with internal capacious boxes. This furniture accessory is also good in every aspect. In addition, that it will be quite a budget solution, so you can still make it a real decoration of the interior. Modern models stand out with a bright design. Multicolored wicker boxes or light plastic containers will be an excellent substitute for laconic boxes, and head covers, scarves and gloves will be much more comfortable to lay in. Things will not crumple and will always be at hand.
3. Think about the hooks for clothes at the entrance. This technique can be useful to owners of very tiny hallways, where there is no place to place bulky cabinets. The question is also relevant in those homes where there are small children. Hooks are incredibly practical. They are compact and can be placed at any level. They can hang not only clothes, but also bags, bags, umbrellas.

Methods of placing hooks is also enough. If the house has several children of different ages, then it makes sense to fasten the hooks cascade, in accordance with the growth of each of the kids. Thus, the clothes will hang neatly, and the child will be comfortable to hang it in place.

4. Do not give up on wall or floor hangers. They will be a wonderful interior solution for square hallways. It is sometimes impossible to enter closed structures for storing things and shoes in such a corridor due to the tightness and inefficient positioning of the interior doors. With wall hangers you will free space, and seasonal clothes will always be available. Instead of a single-level wall classic, you can make a different-level exotic from the hooks. This will solve the traditional problem of hallways – get rid of the visual clot of hanging clothes.
5. Put in the hallway, thumbs or shelves. They are very useful for storing accessories. Hats, gloves, handbags and handbags – all this also requires space. Free hands entering the house, you need at least to take off your shoes, which means that the decorative pedestals immediately behind the door, and the housekeepers on the wall, will not only be an ornament, but a fully functional detail of the decor.
6. Allocate space for small things. They can be stored in:

– hanging boxes;

– drawers;

– chest of drawers.

Organizers of this type are easily masked on the inside surface of the cabinet door. The cache for small things can be a shallow wide vase, standing on a pedestal or a decorative tray.

7. Identify the shoe area. In addition to storing things, you need to store somewhere and shoes in the corridor. In order not to carry the dust and dirt around the rooms, it is worth leaving the street shoes in a certain area of ​​the hallway. You can designate it as a separate rug of original color or texture. On it shoes and boots will feel quite comfortable. For indoor shoes it is better to put an unusual basket, and “guest” slippers should be placed in a sewed fabric, woven macrame or made with a friend style-de-meay “organizer”. Your care will certainly be noticed and appreciated!
8. Create a corner for umbrellas. Among the necessary furniture elements of the hallway may well be a stand for umbrellas. It will not only become a practical subject of the situation, but also play a magnificent decorative role, giving the room sophistication. Well, if an accessory of this kind will be made in the same style with the rest of the furniture. In this hallway it will always be cozy.

A small area of ​​the corridor should not be an excuse for scattered umbrellas. Even in the peak case, there is always a corner for a high narrow basket, which will serve as an excellent stand for similar accessories. In our climate, where rains are not uncommon to hide umbrellas in some secret boxes, there is no point. They should always be in sight, otherwise you run the risk of forgetting them at home. To become wet, especially in a dank autumn weather, is fraught with health. So the organization of the “umbrella zone”, as they say, is obligatory and can not be discussed, especially since it is possible to decorate it today in incredibly interesting variants.

Keeping things and shoes in the corridor: basic ideas

When the issue of furniture is resolved, it will be time to deal with things. Where and what to place, it is necessary to solve with the rational approach. In standard situations, upper shelves and mezzanines are left for headdresses. Down send shoes, hiding it in boxes. A diverse, but very necessary small thing, is stored on pull-out containers, from where they will simply be removed and where they are guaranteed not to be lost. By the way, such boxes are better for placing higher, so that curious children before them could not reach.

Keeping things

Caps, hats and scarves

In order to store headgear, in the hallway you can make just one shelf. It is permissible to arrange it highly enough, but with one caveat, everything lying on it should be easily seen by you. For the role of a pallet suitable metal mesh or grille. Hats are stored hanging on the hooks. Calculation of the capsule is made by the number of households, plus, reserve stock for the guests.

Seasonal clothes

“Storage of things and shoes in a small square corridor is more practical to organize on two floor hangers arranged in the corners”

As this clothing is constantly on the move, it should be quickly accessible. In the hallway, it is usually left to hang on the hanger, without bothering to hide things every time in the closet. A long wall hanger can create discomfort in the room. It is more rational and aesthetic to use several short products of this type. This will allow them to be fixed at different heights, which means that you can hang long clothes higher, and keep children’s clothes and bags at the bottom. There is also a place for a dog leash.

Storage of things and shoes in a small square corridor is more practical to organize on two floor hangers, placed at the corners. No matter what they are: wooden, metal, plastic – the main thing is that they fit into the overall interior solution.

It is very convenient in this context to turn the panel, which could rotate along the axis. Things are hung from one side and hide from the eyes with a slight wave of the hand.

By the arrival of guests, the ambience of the hallway can undergo some changes. To put on clothes of visitors the additional floor hanger of a collapsible design will help. It is easy to assemble and elegant in design, so it will not spoil the overall impression of the room. When folded, the hanger does not take up much space and is perfectly placed somewhere on the mezzanine.

To store voluminous and heavy winter clothes, it is better to have a built-in wardrobe in the hall environment. This function can be performed by a blind niche in the corridor layout. Hide the sight of things will help the door or the usual curtain.

Is there no way to squeeze into a modest hallway multi-winged wardrobe? Dont be upset! Replace it with a combination of “rack-boxes”. Shelves of this design should not be too deep. Thus, you can save a lot of space in a narrow and long hallway.

Inventory

In every house there is, some, no, sports equipment, like sledges, snowboards, skis, skates, scooters, which also need to be stored somewhere. And it’s best to do it in a specially allocated section of the cabinet, from where the shelves will be previously removed or in a niche. If sports accessories are decided to be sent to a niche, its contents will need to be hidden, so as not to spoil the overall interior picture of the room.

Swing doors in this case are not appropriate, because they “eat” a large volume of already scarce space, so they can be replaced:

1. Roll-blinds.
2. Jalousie.
3. Doors on rollers.

Shoe storage

With the organization of storage of things and shoes in the corridor, there are always a lot of problems. And if with the first they are solved with the help of hooks, hangers and cabinets, what to do with the mountains of piled shoes, sneakers and boots, and piled in the most inappropriate places, will have to think hard. To help come stylish and unconventional designed organizer for shoes.

Improved ideas of past times

Modern interior design involves overcoming any difficulties. There is in the archives of designers and a universal system of storing shoes. About the opportunity to use a drawer for this purpose, they knew for a long time, However, for some unknown reasons, they preferred to stumble over the pairs of shoes arranged here and there. This option is not an outcast today, but only it is offered in a slightly improved form. For those who prefer to put their shoes in storage in boxes, but does not like to break everything in a rush to find the right pair, the following ideas will be interesting:

1. Decorate boxes with inscriptions, stickers or even photos of your favorite boots, sandals or slaps.
2. Make side windows in the packaging, then you can easily determine what it is in it. This method will justify itself, if you have a very modest amount of shoes or vice versa, there are many, but it is stored in a room specially allocated for this.

Instead of a cabinet, cells with mezzanines

Owners of large hallways in solving this issue will be more lucky. They will be able to introduce into the environment a volumetric system for storing things and shoes in the corridor, with shelves and shelves, where the boxes will be placed. Since the system is an open type design, everything that you place on it must fit into the overall picture. Very impressive, when the hallway meets not with a pile of boxes of incomprehensible destination, but with beauty and style. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase more aesthetic plastic or cardboard containers with side handles for one purpose, for convenience of use.

Pros and cons of placing shoes in the organizer

Installation in the hallway of a box designed for storing shoes is a common method and not without its advantages. This accessory does not take much precious space. It can have a variety of colors. It can be made not only outdoor, but also suspended. There are all chances to fit the box to the parameters of the room, where it is planned to use, but on this positive points come to an end. Patience to fold neatly their shoes in a drawer in most households will last for a while. In the main, of course, the order is violated, of course, by children. It is not easy for them to explain that boots or sandalaks require careful treatment and it is equally important to equip them, than waking up in the morning to go brush their teeth. In this situation, it will be correct to put in the hallway another box, especially for children’s shoes. Control what happens in it, you will be no less zealous, but at the same time, you will be absolutely sure that your sandals will remain unharmed.

If you look at the organizer, the conditions for storing shoes in it can be considered ideal. The accessory itself is also good. It is comfortable and compact, fits perfectly into the decor. It can be found in any color and size, but it will be uncomfortable boots, because the bootlegs will bend in half, which is unacceptable for these products if they are to be worn for a long time.

Do you need a calorie?

Storage of some things, including shoes in the corridor – a must. A convenient invention for the latter was a galoshnitsa. This accessory is useful to you even if you already have a shoe organizer or a box in the hallway. The shoes, in which we return from the street, carry a lot of garbage, sand, dust. In rainy weather, mud sticks to the sole. Here in this case the galoshnitsa is simply irreplaceable. Put on her soiled boots and after a few hours they will be cleaned. The dirt will dry up and fall off, the snowballs will melt and drain down. You will only have to wipe them with a cloth, returning a neat appearance. Agree, it is much nicer to use the calorie than to wash your soiled shoes every time, picking lumps of rubbish from the corrugated soles. By the way, frequent washing quickly damages the structure of suede and leather.

For those who prefer modern furniture that allows to store in it both shoes and clothes, contemporary manufacturers also have offers. The cabinets are now improved with drawers, drawers and even ultra-modular modules.

Not less often in a vestibule put racks with which help it is also possible to order an arrangement of footwear in a premise. Today they are made of different materials and in different structural forms, so such furniture can become a part-time decor element, and not just an environment. Cells in such shelves can be designed for storing a shoe pair or for each shoe personally.

They can be mounted directly to the wall or to the crossbar. Ladies’ shoes are comfortable to hold in the purchased plastic organizer. The option could claim the ideal, but it does not fit the hallways of those houses where there are animals, especially dogs. Young dogs gladly take their shoes out of the available places and cruelly deal with it.
