A small hallway in an apartment is both a problem and a dignity at the same time. On the one hand, there is not much room in it and two people, as they say, cannot turn around, but on the other, there is a large hallway «eats» useful living space, which is so valuable in a small apartment. So, today we will talk about how to equip the interior design of a small hallway.
Since the hallways in our time are both a place for storing shoes and outerwear, and a room in order to put yourself in order before leaving the house, and in many cases there are also cabinets in which you store things you need in everyday life. So, let’s try to summarize the rules for organizing a small hallway.
Do not try to fit everything in the hallway at once.
Realize that if there is so little space, then the fact that you put two cabinets in the hallway will not get better. Perhaps it makes sense to move the storage systems to another room, for example, to the bedroom or nursery, and leave only a hanger and a shoe rack in the hallway. It will be both more beautiful and more spacious..
Use compact storage systems. If you have a hanger in a small hallway, the space under it must be used rationally: place deep square baskets below to store the little things you need in the hallway. When planning to place a large wardrobe in the hallway, consider making it to order: this way you can use every useful centimeter of usable area.
Not only area, but also volume
Pay attention to unoccupied sections of the walls above your level of vision. It may be appropriate to place mezzanines or open shelves there with things that you do not use every day, but which, nevertheless, need to be stored somewhere..
