Features of choice
If the corridor is in the center of the apartment, combining other rooms, and has a square shape, then a corner entrance is the best option. Also, the angular design is appropriate in a small corridor. Before choosing a model, you must:
- Measure the corridor, determine the dimensions of the future product.
- Consider the layout: furniture should not interfere with free passage.
- Choose the filling of the hallway: exclude optional elements or, conversely, add the necessary ones.
Sizes and shapes
The main purpose of the corner hallway is to store outerwear, hats and shoes. The design can be compact or occupy two walls from floor to ceiling: the choice depends on the needs of residents, the area of the room and budget. Modules can be combined and supplemented.
Corner element. It is a closed cabinet or whatnot. Suitable for placing clothes. Closed cabinets are built-in (without a back wall) or cabinet. A direct product is often equipped with a full-length mirror, allowing you to examine your appearance before going out. Semicircular - radial - the model is more spacious and is usually made to order.
Closet. Closed type design for a medium sized entrance hall. In combination with a corner element, it is a complete wardrobe with sliding doors. Usually includes a bar for clothes, a compartment for shoes and hats, but you can choose the filling yourself.
Curbstone. A convenient item for storing shoes or other items. Often used as a seat.
Shoe shop.It is a special cabinet for shoes with folding or retractable elements.
An open hanger. A variant of the corner hallway, which has both pros and cons. An open coat rack is inexpensive, but filled with jackets and a coat looks less neat than a closed cabinet. It also takes up little space and in the warm season remains empty, which has a positive effect on the atmosphere of the corridor.
Ideas for a Small Corridor
To place a small area, the furniture is selected depending on its size: if only a couple of square meters or one corner are available, it is worth buying an open type hanger. There are many interesting ready-made options, but you can assemble a simple hanger with your own hands.
For small things, small lockers or ottomans are placed, a large mirror is hung to expand the space. If the apartment does not have a pantry and the hallway plays its role, a small corner wardrobe with mirrored facades will fit, which will expand the space and increase the amount of light. Another successful solution for a small-sized corridor is the doors made of transparent plastic.
In a narrow corridor, the depth of the cabinet usually does not exceed 40 cm, which allows ergonomic use of the free area. The height of the corner hallway can reach the ceiling: this way the space is used more rationally. A good way to visually hide furniture is to make it in the same color as the walls.
The modern market allows you to purchase a hall, suitable for any style of interior. Simple products made from natural materials will perfectly fit into the atmosphere of a private house, as well as an apartment in Scandinavian and eco-style. The "corners" of precious wood, decorated with a carriage screed and carved elements, will be appropriate in the classical style, and furniture with metal and glass details will be suitable for the loft, art deco and contemporary.
Modern style hallway options
First of all, modern style implies convenience, so the hallway is acquired functional and as spacious as possible. When decorating the corridor, a universal, concise design is chosen without unnecessary decorations. Simple products made of durable, wear-resistant materials are easy to keep clean, which is especially important in a passage room.
The fewer things will be stored in the corridor, the more spectacular and stylish the environment will look. It is better to use the corner entrance hall for the clothes that the house residents are currently wearing so as not to overload the room.
