What could be the shelf in the hallway?

Among the various furniture elements used in the hallways, it is impossible not to mention the shelves. They allow you to create a positive impression and open up many design opportunities. But the choice of such structures must be approached seriously and responsibly.

Shelf in the hallway in the corridor for hats with hooks - not the only option. If the panel with these same hooks is supplemented with a horizontal surface for the layout of umbrellas and bags, then all the guests will be able to dress and undress in one place, without going anywhere and not losing their time. The shelf for hanging the keys is usually placed closer to the door and is basically made quite small, sometimes in an angular format.

In addition to these options, in the hallway you can put the following structures.

• Hat shelf;
• Furniture organizer Cubby (black);
• Shoe shelf.

Winter hat storage is often located above the coat rack, although nothing prevents you from installing it in any comfortable place. In most cases, the design is made of wood, chipboard or MDF, but if you wish, you can order a metal product.

Places for shoes do not hang on the wall, and put on the floor; in such products the facade is not always available. More often, designers have provided systems that hold shoes in the correct position and prevent them from slipping to the side. The value depends on how many pairs of shoes you need to store.

Some of the shoe shelves are rather high and more likely resemble open dressers. Their geometric shape is rectangular, round or square.

Stylish open wall shelves will allow all those entering the house to free pockets and bags, bags from outerwear, accessories, to fold the same bags and bags. If there is no special place for them, you will have to pile everything on the floor or carry it everywhere, which is very inconvenient, unhygienic and impractical.

It is quite convenient to use a hinged shelf with a hanger in the corridor, this solution allows you to save a lot of space, which is always lacking. If we approach the matter creatively and in an original way, then it will turn out to decorate the most complex, controversial interior.

Note that the hanger is immediately installed permanently, and you can’t be mistaken when choosing a place for it. Installation is possible at any height, and the shelf or shoe chest located at the bottom is also unlikely to be empty.

Whatever shoes are used in the family (by style, shape, size), it will harmoniously and comfortably fit into such a store.

The advantages of the shelf mounted with a hanger and obuvnitsy obvious.

• Even a cramped room is visually and physically unloaded;
• Space is used more efficiently;
• Pets will not get to the shoes, they will not get dusty and crumple, will be on the way;
• Get what you need, much easier than with a mezzanine;
• The product is quite nice, and a variety of models allows you to choose the optimal solution for every taste and wallet.

The corner shelf for the phone is also very much in demand, because it is still impossible to completely abandon the city telephone sets, and attempts to mount them with screws, even if the base allows it, are not a good idea.

Installing on a regular shelf or table is also unlikely to help: in the hallway this furniture is unlikely to be put, and in some case it is easy to brush the phone out.

You can do it yourself with a corner telephone shelf, just cut it out with a jigsaw from a piece of chipboard, and in order to discourage a semicircle of the desired size, just take a suitable plate. Jigsaw when processing chipboard can leave chips, they need to be masked with PVC-edge glued on the ends. For sticking it will suit any super glue from the store. Shtrobit wall is not necessary, if you carefully cut through the usual saw blade grooves in the shelf for connecting wires.

Sheets of plasterboard and wood are not the only materials that can be used in the manufacture of shelves in the hallway.

Glass products with metal additives are consistently stylish and elegant. In addition to the “pure” tree, it is also possible to include options with the inclusion of other structural materials, but even from a single board it is quite possible to create an attractively looking and functional composition.

Each material has its strengths and weaknesses that need to be considered.

• So, wood is environmentally friendly, it differs by a noble texture and plasticity of its forms, but at the same time it is quite expensive, and its processing is more complicated than it seems. Intensive absorption of moisture allows you to store only clean and dry things: if you are going to put shoes, you will have to apply a layer of protective primer.
• Plywood products are more affordable than wooden ones, but they are heavier, and they also absorb water.

• Chipboards are initially manufactured with a coating that prevents the ingress of water, and even in production can give them a variety of colors. But it is necessary to deform the protective film, and the loose material will quickly collapse.
• Metal structures are durable and resistant, but quite heavy.
• Plastic (PVC and other options) is easy to clean, it easily tolerates moisture and is inexpensive.

Dimensions shelves for shoes are usually 60-80 cm wide. If the room is large or you want to store very different shoes, it is better to choose products 100-120 cm wide. Particularly narrow versions (up to 18 cm) can be put even behind the door, but do not allow to put winter boots with high tops. Some factories have in their assortment modifications with a small width, but with a large height, occupying 15-20 cm in depth.

White color and its various shades are most demanded. This is connected not only with freshness and visual ease, with the ability to expand the space, to make it so that it does not seem cramped. The fact is that in the hallway there is rarely enough light, and it is necessary to rationally use even the meager natural lighting, which is still there, and the white color of furniture copes with this task perfectly.

Quite popular natural wood pattern can be recommended in almost any interior.

• Shelf for shoes and bags often becomes a stylish interior decoration. It is quite simple to use it, you only need to place the bags on the top cover of the shoe storage. As a more aesthetic option, attachments are used for hanging the bag, the bag over the bottom shelf.

• Clothes shelves it is advisable to use in the corridors, because they allow you to replace the bulky closets coupe, which is not everywhere and put it turns out. Often they are made attached (it is convenient, nothing gets underfoot, and at the same time the space is used to the maximum).

• Shelf on the wall with drawers for trifles - not the same as “for keys”; even those who professionally manufacture them at home or constantly open them, lock many locks, almost always keep keys elsewhere. If a special shelf for keys and stands out, then it is rather decorative in nature than practical, therefore its appearance should be approached as carefully as possible.

• But phone shelves must necessarily be wide, spacious and stable; it is also necessary to decorate them, but only one flat surface, no other design elements are needed and even harmful.

In the Provencal hallway will harmoniously enter only those shelves that are made of natural materials. The best among them will be a tree, especially decorated with thematic patterns. In this style, as well as in the corridor, decorated in country style, the lid looks well, which goes beyond the dimensions of the shelf itself.

In a minimalist setting, in hi-tech or in a modernist hallway, the designs in red-black-and-white are ideal, although if you wish, you can experiment with other colors.

As decorative elements, decorative slats have performed well in many homes; they can be made both with their own hands, and from purchased grilles. While preparing the design yourself, it is worth using the methods of decoupage or artificial aging in its design, the result will far exceed all your expectations. When there is an acute lack of a “zest” in the interior, a bright shelf is able to fulfill this role.

Compact metal hangers are preferred if the entrance area is small in size. Such products may not be too noticeable, as if lost and dissolved against the general background. But there are other options that become a bright accent or decorated in an unusual way.

Instead of acquiring a hanging shelf, shoebox and bench in addition to them, choose a design where all these elements are combined. Mandatory requirement: the material of the shelves must comply with the rest of the furniture, as well as their execution. If everything is openwork and airy or massive and ponderous in appearance, then there should be nothing out of this range.

It may seem that the hanging shelf in the hallway is a simple and uncomplicated thing, you just have to buy what you like externally, and the problem is solved. But this, of course, is far from being the case: be sure to find out if there is a place for storing headgear in this piece of furniture. The depth of the corresponding shelf, both factory and manufactured at home, should not be less than 24 cm.

Open shoe storage systems are constantly ventilated, and it will be easier and easier for all those who come to put their boots, shoes or low shoes on such a shelf than to put them behind the door. If there are dogs in the house, there is no choice: you will have to buy closed shoes. As for the placement of the shoe itself, the classic option is considered horizontal, but there are other schemes - storage at an angle, and even vertical placement.

Whether the housekeeper on the overhead shelf is needed or not is up to you. It is practical, but nevertheless it will be safer to store all the keys in a place that those who enter the dwelling will not immediately notice. Among organizers, the best are those that have special pockets for storing various small items (dog leashes, records with important phones and useful reminders and the like).

Unusual shelves in the interior - a very promising solution. It looks much better than puffs, coffee tables or simple flower pots, and their functionality is much higher.Corner shelves are relatively narrow, but since they can cover the whole or almost the entire length of a room, you will not encounter a lack of space.

Really non-standard and aesthetically expressive forged products made to order according to individual requirements. In addition to hangers, shelves for keys and caps, complex variants (so-called organizers) with a magnetic base attract attention. Any key chain or key, you can simply stick to the bottom surface and no longer lose it.

Shop designs do not satisfy everyone, and even the efforts of professional designers do little to correct the situation. But you can always make a suitable individual model with your own hands, without losing time and money to pay for private masters. It is recommended to use drywall. Even those who are poorly versed in materials and tools will be able to process it qualitatively and enjoy the result for many years.

It remains to say a little about the book models. They are needed not to replace a full-fledged bookcase. The idea is completely different - to turn the hallway into a miniature living room, on its eve.
