Design Dilemma Corridor Storage & Closet

Hallway storage ideas - coats and shoes!

6 years ago

I am looking for ideas and inspiration for hallway storage - particularly coats and shoes. With 5 of us in the house, the hallway always ends up cluttered. Unfortunately this is our only space to keep it all. Any ideas for neat and attractive storage/hooks/shoe racks would be appreciated!

Thank you.

A photo would definitely help. We had no storage space in our hallway. We had drawers put under the stairs which hold a lot of shoes. We then put 2 levels of coat hooks (similar to photo) behind a door that I tend to leave open to disguise them slightly. Meant to be a 2 coat limit per person, with others kept in wardrobes but this rule is often ignored!

Photos of the hall will be helpful, so we can perhaps give you specific ideas.
Do you have space for a closed cupboard?
Coats look neater on hangers than when they are on hooks.
IKEA has some very shallow shoe storage cupboards that you can hang on the wall or place against the wall, and that you can store quite a lot of shoes in.
Or perhaps you have space for combined coat rack and bench that will also hold shoes.

I like second plan! That space will fit the wardrobe perfectly. Take all colors from the art. The colors can be lighter or darker than the colors you see in art. Take "Venice" with you to paint store and they might be able to help you choose good colors. Idea: paint four walls the same and see if you like that. If you feel the room lacks interest, then paint the accent wall. Choose a pale green that harmonizes with "Venice" and a darker green accent. Yellow + red accent White + blue accent

I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer.

example: winding staircase, source internet Little modification need to be done for entrance lobby opening, where you could accommodate a shoe rack and the complementary vertical wall can act as a amazing entrance decor wall wall in Kerala style heavy color play or texture/wall cladding with brass mural.. by doing this you get space to mount TV unit and a good space for sofa arrangement (make sure sofas are light as the space is less to accommodate baggy sofas), staircase can be made in the shape shown in sketch plan, with marble finish on the foot steps (or as per interiors), space in the bottom of staircase next to master bedroom wall can be utilized for chest of drawers or a tall furniture, make sure the staircase bottom part to be casted smooth in finish.

Hello Peeyush, With due respect to the designer - in our opinion, the TV is planned on the wrong wall... It must be reconsidered.. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

We are also a family of 5 so I feel your pain! We had a shoe cupboard made out of MDF with a veneer top, which doubles as a hallway console with lamps etc, and then lots of shelves underneath for all the trainers, school shoes etc.

I put two of these one above the other behind the door in our downstairs study, so not exactly in the hall but so close and not visible.

I put some carrebenas on the bottom to clip bags onto, and hangers for coats on the top one.

Scandinavian countries are so amazing at this - so practical as they all have such big coats and lots of boots. Very inspirational.
