Rules for organizing a small hallway

A sliding wardrobe always wins in terms of functionality in front of an open hanger. The look of piled clothes, see, in itself creates a mess. Therefore, if it is possible to find a place in the hallway even for a small closet, then it is better to order a closet in the hallway. If, nevertheless, the dimensions of the hallway are critically small, then it is better to store the main part of the outerwear in other rooms, and leave only a couple of things that are most often worn now on hangers. It is advisable to make the most of the upper space of the hallway. A good option for a small hallway is a mezzanine. They can be either closed with doors or open in the form of shelves on which you can store hats, boxes, baskets, scarves, scarves, bags. In this case, places are provided for storing a lot of things and at the same time the space is not cluttered. Mezzanines in the hallway can be both an independent element and part of the whole. For example, you can make a one-piece structure for the hallway to order, consisting of a mezzanine, a panel with a hanger and a shoe compartment at the bottom. In this case, the entire space from floor to ceiling will be used for storage, while using a minimum area of the hallway.

To store shoes, it is best to use cabinets with special drawers, such cabinets take up a minimum of space and are very convenient to use. In addition, high, multi-tiered shelves can be ordered for storing shoes. At first glance, it seems that it is not worth equipping a seating area in a small hallway. But if you do it thoughtfully, then this interior detail will not only add coziness and comfort to the hallway, but will also be a functional and useful part of the interior. For example, a small ottoman with a folding seat can also be used to store shoes or other items, and under the bench it will be convenient to place shelves for storing shoes, boxes, baskets.

When organizing a small hallway, accessories such as scarves, bags, umbrellas, scarves and hats are often forgotten. In the absence of a special place for storing them in the hallway, they significantly litter the space. But it is enough to place a few additional hooks, pockets or special hangers, and the interior of the hallway immediately takes on an orderly and cozy look. Mirror must be in a small hallway. And it is better if it is large. A vertical mirror will visually raise the ceiling, and a horizontal mirror will expand the space. It can be hung on the wall, on one of the interior doors or on the cabinet door.

As for the color scheme, light, cold tones that increase the space are an excellent option for decorating the walls and ceiling of small hallways. And the pattern on the wallpaper should be small and discreet.
