Hallways in a small corridor

In the modern world, buildings of small-sized apartments increasingly dominate. This is such a special budget class of housing, on the one hand, meeting all the basic requirements of the owner, on the other - making you think about the organization of space for the vital functions of the owner. Developers especially love to save space on the hallways. It would seem that a small functionality does not require large sizes, but it is important for any owner to choose furniture for this room that meets his needs.

In small apartments there is an urgent need to organize the storage of personal belongings. Even for a long and narrow hallway, you should choose the appropriate furniture for this purpose. Modern manufacturers provide models with a width of only 20 cm, while they have space for storing shoes, bags, keys.Things in this space can be hung just on the bar with hooks. Such minimalism in the interior will look stylish and conceptual, and a narrow corridor from the flaws of the apartment will turn into its advantages.

A difficult task for the average person will be to design a corner hallway. Furniture manufacturers have tried to facilitate this task, to make the cabinets roomy and beautiful. If you still have difficulties with the choice, consider the option of making a hall to order. In this case, the dimensions will be exactly met, and the furniture will fit into the interior as it should. It is worth noting that the cabinet compartment, falling on the corner of the room, has a large volume, the space inside can be used very rationally, then problems with storing clothes and shoes out of season will disappear. The same corner option can be beaten with radial doors, the bend can be directed both inwards and to the outer part of the product.

A hallway in a small corridor can be designed as a closet. This option is very popular, as it looks beautiful and its functionality is great. Embedded models look very impressive.Due to the fact that the walls of the cabinet are formed by the walls, the useful space expands, which will be used as functionally as possible.

For lovers of ready-made solutions, manufacturers offer to choose modular furniture. Cabinets for such a system are arranged based on the size and shape of the room, acquire any scale, look modern and intricate.

Minimalists install ordinary bars in the corridors, on which one after another hang clothes of all seasons on hangers. Shoes put right under the clothes. Hide in this case will not work, but this design is popular and takes a particular poverty in the interior design.

Manufacturers have developed numerous universal furniture concepts for small spaces. Cabinets in the hallway will be able to choose for themselves any consumer with the most demanding taste. Embedded designs are now at their peak of popularity.Comfortable wardrobes made according to this technology can be either with an open area for everyday clothes, or completely deaf. Perhaps the implementation of the mirror sashes, then the question of where to hang the mirror, disappears, again, saving space and a ready-made solution. There are built-in wardrobes with hinged doors, such an organization of space will fit well into a small hallway made in a classic style.

There are highlights that you should pay attention to in this case:

• The finished wardrobe kit must necessarily include an area for everyday wear;
• A shelf should be provided for storing hats, scarves, gloves;
• Downstairs under clothing located shoebox or shelves under shoes;
• Present a closed area under clothing for other seasons;
• Some storage space for small items, such as keys.

Durable and reliable will be cabinets made of solid wood. They perfectly meet all quality standards, and look decent and high quality. Moreover, the product from the array can be performed with hinged doors, as well as with compartment doors. The most common material for manufacturing is oak, but such a wardrobe may seem heavy for a small room, and expensive. More “light” material is pine, it is cheaper, and it will look no worse.

To help save products made of veneer. It can be made of artificial materials or of natural wood (oak, birch, pine, mahogany, walnut, beech). It is made like this: a layer is cut off from the surface of an array, which is treated in a special way, a thin sheet is obtained, which is subsequently glued to the base of the furniture. Without going into details, it is sometimes not easy to outwardly distinguish veneer from an array.

The cheapest cabinets are made of chipboard. This material, unfortunately, is short-lived, suitable for people who are used to changing the interior quite often, because with prolonged use, deformation and detachment are possible, and with prolonged contact with water, the chipboard swells and warps. Now manufacturers have learned to laminate such material, which makes it more resistant to external factors. A special decorative film with imitation of wood or stone is applied to the surface, but it can also rupture over time.

A large variety of different materials is used to create a unique and beautiful product design. Such is rattan. This is a tropical vine, treated in a special way, surprisingly strong and moisture resistant. An interesting fact is that they make it as an independent product, and are used as decorative elements. A rattan wardrobe in the hallway is expensive, it is very light and elegant, but not for everyone at a price.If you really like this material, but you can’t afford it, buy rattan baskets, put on open shelves for small items such as gloves, scarves, combs and other accessories.

Also in the hallway it would be appropriate to look ottoman or a small rattan couch to put on shoes with convenience. Manufacturers of wardrobes and wardrobes with hinged doors use this material as decorative elements, in a special way gluing thin sheets onto the basis of MDF or veneer. It turns out a solid and beautiful design. A "relative" of rattan cabinets is a bamboo cabinet. It is a bit cheaper, but is still considered an elite material.

A wardrobe with mirrored doors in the hallway will save space, as in this case you will not have to look for a place to hang a separate mirror. Mirror and glass coatings expand the space of a small room, let in and reflect more light. On the mirror, you can apply different drawings by sandblasting technology. They are applied with a special device, they look elegant and easy. Different types of glass are used: turbid, with the effect of graphite or bronze, painted using lacobel technology or with engraving.The doors of the cabinet of such material can be covered with a film, the design of which will coincide with the wallpaper of the room or just have a pattern for every taste.

For connoisseurs of “soft luxury” style, cabinets made with leather elements will suit. Basically, it is not natural material, but eco-leather. It is more durable, almost not scratched, and it looks nice and neat. It is made on a fabric basis, applying with a special embossing a special polymer film that repeats the natural texture.

In small rooms, every detail plays its role and will not go unnoticed, but the color design is not a trifle. Everyone should understand that the light design of the room visually increases the space, and the dark this space hides. Therefore, furnishing a miniature corridor, choose light shades, they are more optimistic and look favorably. Bold ideas involve bright accents of detail. For example, painted white walls, cabinet doors are glossy and also white, but the shelves or accessories are bright yellow or blue.

The furniture in the hallway must fully comply with the size of the room, it is important to use every centimeter of space. But you should not forget that there should be enough free space, that at least 1 person could safely dress and put on shoes. Compact models are what you should pay attention to in the store before you buy. Now manufacturers are ready to meet the demand for a variety of requests, while the furniture will be roomy, look neat, beautiful and dignified.

Custom solutions also fit perfectly into the interior of a small hallway. For example, some designs offer to place shelves for shoes from the floor to the ceiling. Or in general, limit the furniture in the hallway to the hooks, where you can hang 3-4 jackets and shelves under the headgear, and just put shoes on the floor along the wall. Such an organization of space really saves space, but then you have to think about a place to store clothes for other seasons.

The most common hallways for small spaces are cabinets and hangers 140 cm wide. They include everything you need, are inexpensive and fit perfectly into the decor.In order to correctly order or purchase such furniture, keep in mind that the length of the open part should be at least 60 cm, then the closed one will be 80 cm. The latter can be completely abandoned in favor of the mirror, and the open one can be replaced with a floor hanger of round shape.
