Cabinets in the hallway: design ideas

Before anyone who first makes the interior in the hallway or decided to update the old design, there is a question of choosing the cabinet. A variety of models in furniture stores often creates additional complexity in choosing the right product. But there is a way out of this situation: before buying a wardrobe in the corridor, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances and parameters of the interior and choose the desired style. It is important to get acquainted with the varieties of products for the hallway in advance. This will help you not to make a mistake in choosing the perfect cabinet.

Wardrobe in the hallway has a number of functions that are different from the functions of products for other rooms. A number of specific requirements are also attached to it:

• The wardrobe in the front plays a very important role. It represents the “face” of your home and makes an impression on the guests, so it should look presentable and at the same time create coziness in the room.
• An important factor is the capacity of the structure. Even if a small number of people live in the house, you need to choose a product that will fit several sets of outerwear in case of a visit.
• The wardrobe in the corridor is certainly supplied with a shelf or a shoe section. This design can be equipped with special supports or just be a rectangular box, depending on the regularity of its use.
• It is undesirable that the closet in the hallway was bulky. In most apartments, the front has a small area, so it is important to remember that capacity combined with compactness.
• Hallway - a place where there is increased pollution. Do not choose models in very light and brand colors if you have no time to devote a lot of time to cleaning and cleaning the dust from the slate.

According to the design, models of cabinets are of several types, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages.

Solid structures are enclosed plastic or wood enclosures. Such products are quite large, so they are rarely chosen for the hallway. Most successfully this type is embodied in the form of corner structures. Such a cabinet is equipped with hinged or sliding doors.

A separate type of wardrobe is a wardrobe. It is a product with sliding doors, consisting of two or three compartments, depending on the area of ​​the room. Sliding wardrobes are divided into the following types:

• Constructions built into the wall of the hallway. They are used to save space, because the storage space is built into the wall and stands out against its background using doors of a contrasting color. Additional convenience of this model is that there is no risk to stumble on the corner of the cabinet or accidentally hook clothes on its surface. The only drawback of the product is the impossibility of its permutation.

• Partially fitted wardrobe looks like a structure without one or more components of the assembly - side wall, ceiling or basement. Such models are ergonomic, but difficult to transport.They are ideal for those who wish to build side wardrobes in the wardrobe for details.

• Corner Cabinets in the hallway vary depending on the shape, size and location. They can be in the corner between two doors, being very compact designs. The angle in such a cabinet is made in a straight line, unlike other more dimensional models, which are made in a curved shape. A compartment with sliding doors is often a convex shape, which makes the model more overall than its straightforward counterpart.

• Modular cabinets used for the corridor very often. They allow you to ideally arrange even a large wardrobe in the hallway. Due to the special placement of parts of the product, it is suitable for your corridor, the design will always look compact and function successfully.

In order to emphasize the representativeness of the chiffonier in the hallway, care should be taken to choose the material of the product.

• The best option would be the classic model of wood. Wooden structures are universal for almost any style, they are non-marking and practical. Such products can be repaired in case of breakage. They are unpretentious in care and give solidity to the appearance of the interior.

• For those who want to purchase or create their own built-in wardrobe, models from drywall. This material is not only environmentally friendly, but also has good thermal insulation and moisture resistance. Lighting devices can be easily integrated into such a cabinet. One of the advantages will be the price of such structures, which is very democratic.

• Another environmentally friendly material is MDFwhich is often used to create wardrobe. Such a material has a special structure that can be easily processed. If there are children in the house, such a closet is necessary in the hallway.

• Often in the design and design of the cabinet are used materials such as plastic and glass. The latter may be the main or decorative part of the product. In some models, the doors are supplied with glass inserts or consist entirely of glass. This option is quite extreme for the hallway, but suppose if the room is large.
• A more popular option is chiffonier with mirror or mirrored doors. A similar element is necessary in the hallway. Mirrors are often decorated with special patterns or decorative stones and glasses. The choice of material should be made based on its durability and compatibility with other textures used in the interior of the room.

Hallway - a place where the important factor is the imperceptibility of pollution, because in this part of the house they accumulate the fastest. If you do not belong to the number of brave men who choose white furniture for the corridor, then you may be given the following colors for the chiffonier:

• Classical brown all shades characteristic mainly for wooden structures.Such material can be with a tint of dark red or burgundy tones.
• Black Wood looks very elegant, but the one-piece cabinet design, made using a similar shade, can overload the room, especially if it is small. Black tones look best on the doors of an embedded product, but it is advisable to dilute this color with a contrasting ornament.

• Beige and yellow Colors look beautiful on compact products.
• Gray the color looks great on cabinets with an open facade or on plastic doors decorated with ornaments.

Modern designers offer many options for organizing space inside the corridor cabinet. They emphasize that such a part of the wardrobe, as its facade, is of particular importance.It can be open or closed.

One of the most popular design ideas was the combination of two types of facades. Often the middle of the design is a closed facade, while at the edges are shelves, the contents of which are accessible to view. By the same principle, the open part can be in the middle of the structure.

The open part is not always filled with shelves. Sometimes it is equipped with hangers or coat hooks. An excellent reception from designers will be the transformation of a standard cabinet into a mini-greenhouse. If the hallway has enough light, you can use small flowers to decorate the front shelves. You can decorate the open areas with different panels that are combined with the concept of the hallway style.

To make the wardrobe as functional as possible, do not regret the space for an additional compartment for hats. An open compartment of this type can be an excellent decorative highlight in certain areas of the interior.

The important point is the location of the chiffonier in the hallway. In large and spacious rooms the closet can be placed along the wall. There is no need for embedded designs, it is better to choose a solid product and even emphasize its dimensions with the help of figured wood carving or convex-concave lines of plastic products. For larger rooms, there will also be fitted wardrobes, the height of which ends almost under the ceiling itself. You can embed the lighting inside the product, if it is designed with an open facade.

The angular location does not allow for additional shelves or pedestals, especially if the room is small. If the corridor is narrow, then there is no point in placing a cupboard in the corner, the purchase of such a product is permissible only if the front has a square or rectangular shape.

In the "Khrushchev" corridors are narrow and long. For them, ideal built-in wardrobes.Such structures can be located both along the length of the corridor and on a narrow wall, occupying its entire surface. Since the height of such wardrobe reaches the ceiling, they are very roomy and can include a diverse number of compartments for things.

A hallway, like any room at home, can be decorated in a specific style. The chiffonier should ideally coincide with the general concept.

• For classical styles, baroque and rococo preferably choose a wooden cabinet. This is usually a massive one-piece design, an indicator of wealth and solidity. Wood is often decorated with carvings and even gold plating.
• For styles like vintage, provence and loft permissible use of wooden structures. A feature of such cabinets will be to create the effect of antiquity on them. The surface of the product is skins, creating the effect of antiquity.

• Absolutely different textures are used for products in modern styles. Such models are made of matte or glossy plastic. They have a clear geometry. The emphasis in such cabinets is not only on presentability, but also on individuality.In the hallway, such a chiffonier reflects a unique sense of style inherent to the apartment owner.
• Style modern does not always imply the purchase of one of the above-mentioned chiffonier designs. An alternative may be an open clothes hanger or a tall chest of drawers made of plastic. If you prefer not to fill the closet in the hallway with a lot of things, then this option is ideal for your hallway.
• The doors of the wardrobe, designed in african style, often contain in their design animal print. Dark or light chiffonier doors are combined with the colors of a leopard or zebra. On the doors are often depicted the silhouettes of the four-legged inhabitants of Africa.
