Furniture for a small hallway

When you need to choose furniture for a small hallway, many owners of small apartments face certain difficulties. This room has many different functions. Here everyone leaves the outerwear, take off their shoes. In the same room there are places for storing many things: these are hats, seasonal items of clothing and footwear, various accessories, and shoe care items. Therefore, it is necessary that all furnishings be as ergonomic as possible.

In the apartment, narrow corridors often lead from the front door to the rooms; therefore, every centimeter of such a small space has to be used with advantage. The most rational use of the hallway is extremely important.

To fulfill this requirement you need to take into account all the nuances:

• narrow passages;
• the inability to install standard furniture;
• low light levels;
• the impossibility of placing decorative items;
• use only compact furniture.

Proper design of a tiny hallway can be done, given some points:

• You can not choose in the hallway furniture in dark colors.
• It is better if for this purpose shades of walnut, light oak, pine, beech will become the color palette. The exception is wenge or other dark tones that visually pile up a small room.
• A good idea is the design of facades with full-length mirrors. This will help visually enlarge the space. Mirror surfaces of the hallway add comfort to her: it is convenient to see yourself reflected before leaving the house.
• Designers advise choosing proportional furnishings for a small space. For example, there is inappropriate wardrobe large size under the ceiling, as well as a huge cabinet for shoes, which occupies the entire hallway. A small room is furnished with compact furniture.

• In such places the minimalistic interior always looks good. Do not throw a lot of small items. Small space must be unloaded, leaving horizontal surfaces empty.
• Hinged products with translucent facades are well suited for such spaces.
• It is better to light a small room using wall sconces, it helps in the dispersion of light and visually enlarges the hallway.
• A small room at the entrance door can accommodate only the most necessary: ​​leave a minimum of furniture, and it is better to fix it on the wall.
• Alternatively, you can use transformers. For example, a shoe stand, if necessary, can turn into a table, and on the hanger for jackets and a coat, an additional plank is suddenly put forward at the required moment. Such furniture with dual purpose gives increased functionality of the hallway.

In the hallway, even if it is small, you definitely need to have pieces of furniture that perform various functions:

• closet or clothes hanger: this item must be compact in size but have a capacity;
• shoe pedestal, which is wide or narrow and high, open or closed;
• nightstand for hats, hats and gloves;
• umbrella corner;
• mirror or mirror surface;
• soft pouf or chair for pereobuvaniya;
• shelf for keys, cream for shoes, handbags.

There is not always the possibility of placing all of the above.

When choosing the optimal equipment of the hallway, it is necessary to push away from the purpose of the situation and its design execution. Most often for these purposes use the following types of furniture:

The most popular cabinet model is the wardrobe, but in a small room it is difficult to install it, but it is possible. Particularly appropriate wardrobe, located in a niche. Then space is not lost. If the hallway is more spacious, the built-in model of the closet from wall to wall will be good. As a rule, the facades and doors of this cabinet are mirrored, which significantly expands the scanty space of the hallway. Of particular importance here is getting the right choice of dimensions, you can win a lot of free space. The sliding wardrobe is the hallway decoration, mirror facades are decorated with a photo print or sandblast pattern.

The overall dimensions of each piece of furniture for hallways are very important. For example, a shoe stand should be of sufficient size to fit not only shoes, but also boots with high tops.On the shelf must be placed and a handbag of tiny size, and a large sports backpack.

For a corridor or hallway in a small apartment, modular furniture can be a good fit. It is a kind of furniture designer for adults. The design of various pieces of furniture provides the ability to dock the sections that make up the hallway set.

• components of the modular system can periodically be interchanged, thus changing the interior of the hallway;
• modules are very conveniently located to provide quick access to the necessary things.

The small furniture wall installed in the corner is extremely comfortable and contains many items.It allows you to use even those square centimeters, the use of which is difficult with ordinary pieces of furniture. As a rule, such a set has a cabinet that occupies an angular space. On the one hand there is an open model hanger, equipped with clothes hooks and a special shelf for hats and hats, on the other hand, there is a shoe stand, perhaps there is also a chest of drawers and a mirror.

The semicircular wall will successfully fit into a tiny hall. The cabinet of this model usually has rounded shelves where you can put keys, gloves or other small items.

When the crumb grows up, they can place an umbrella or handbag on them.
