Hallway storage exists so that people can arrive, unload and leave again without the household inventory migrating into the living room. Keys and post in one shallow place, current coats on hooks, the week’s shoes on a ventilated rack or in a bench, bags off the floor and an exit zone for things that must leave — all with the door swinging fully and the route clear.
What to choose for the hallway
| You need to | Solution | Deciding measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Put down keys and post | A narrow console or a wall shelf | Depth of around 25 to 35 cm |
| Sit to put shoes on | A storage bench or shoe bench | Seat height around 45 cm |
| Store shoes | A tilt cabinet or a ventilated rack | Real depth of the largest pair |
| Hang coats | Firm hooks or a stable coat stand | A clear route with coats hanging |
| Use the space under the stairs | Shelving, pull-outs or a shoe zone | Height at three points and the door swing |
