We choose and arrange comfortable shelves in the hallway

An entrance hall is not only the “face” of any home, but also a place where everything should be comfortable and well thought out. In city apartments hallways are usually small, and there are quite a lot of things to be placed. Therefore, when we choose and arrange comfortable shelves in the hallway, we think about functionality, aesthetics and how to save space.

Hallway can be arranged in different ways. Someone prefers to buy a ready-made set of furniture with a wardrobe, a shoebox and a place to store trifles. Someone acquires “smart” storage systems, where ergonomics are thoroughly thought out. In the house where the hallway is small, but there is a receptacle for a large amount of clothing (a wardrobe or dressing room), the hallway can be equipped with shelves alone. It is necessary that there was a place for outerwear, hats, shoes and small things - umbrellas, keys and gloves.

Shelves for the hallway may differ in purpose:

• for shoes;
• for hats;
• shelf at the mirror;
• for keys.

In addition, they can be distinguished by the type and type of attachment. Shelves for hats are usually attached directly to the wall. Shoe shelf can be wall-mounted, and maybe floor, that is, stand on the floor. Shelves are open or closed. A good example of a closed shelf is a folding shoe.where shoes and boots are hidden under the furniture facade.

Stationary shelf can be with or without drawers. For example, the key keeper model with hooks and a drawer below is very popular and convenient. There you can hide valuable gizmos, someone puts there bills and mail.

Any shelf can be placed along the wall or in the corner. Corner model saves space in the corridor.
