Overcrowded shelves and cluttered surfaces are detrimental to any interior. Cabinets in the hallway in a modern style - corner, compartment, built-in - will solve the storage problem. Properly chosen furniture not only organizes, but also decorates the space. Bulky frames with the same type of facades are a thing of the past. We share ideas for decorating stylish hallways with modern furniture.
Choosing a place for a closet in the hallway
First of all, it is not recommended to use light-colored furniture here, since the room is characterized by increased pollution. The appearance of particularly easily soiled models may suffer greatly.
- Compact designs with compartment or folding doors fit better into small hallways. They are not so bulky and do not take up space.
- In a square corridor, combined or corner furniture would be appropriate.
- In narrow long corridors it is better to place them near a short wall.
- If there are a large number of doors in the hallway, it is enough to limit yourself to a compact narrow cabinet placed near the front door.
There is often a storage room at the end of hallways. It can be converted into a wardrobe by equipping it with shelves and installing doors.
Color and stylistic solutions based on blue
Undoubtedly, the color blue is noble, romantic, and strict at the same time. It seems that it is self-sufficient, but designers warn against trying to build a color combination in a blue hallway solely on these shades: too much blue will be too cold. The problem is solved quite simply: a worthy companion is selected for blue, capable of brightening up and complementing the main tone.
Combined options
Some interiors use combined models, complemented by various elements: a mirror, a built-in shoe rack, hooks for outerwear, holders for umbrellas and shoe horns.
The option will be as practical as possible if you place a banquette, ottoman or small sofa nearby to make the process of putting on shoes easier.
- In a small space, it is possible to equip a combined narrow cabinet in the hallway with a cabinet for sitting.
- In a well-planned design, it will be easy and convenient to place things, organize hangers for hats and space for a bag.
- The design with shelves on the sides or in the middle, filled with books and all kinds of accessories, looks very stylish.
Cabinet pencil case for limited space
Also, a pencil case fits freely into the interior of a narrow corridor due to its rather modest dimensions. It is attached to the wall or installed on the floor.
Often has only one door, but there are options with numerous drawers and shelves with a closing or opening compartment.
Placing shelves one on top of the other
Placing shelves one on top of the other is the most popular option for shelving, as you can use your imagination, or, based on drawings on the Internet, create a ready-made version with your own hands
Corner option
Corner cabinets will fit organically into the design of hallways, helping to save space.
They come in several types:
- Radius with a semicircular facade and sliding doors;
- Rectangular with long and short sectors;
- Triangular, buried in the corner and having only one door connecting two adjacent walls;
- Trapezoidal, with protruding end sides.
Modern library
It is not always possible to locate a library in modern apartments, since the territories of some of them are not very large.
Especially many problems arise with one-room apartments, where one single room plays the role of a living room and a bedroom. A suitable option may be a corner cabinet, which can accommodate a lot of books.
Also in this case, it is possible to place a small bookcase in the corridor, where you can then move some of the books.
In a private house, the issues of placing book products are much easier to solve; this is especially easy to do in a two-story house. With a custom book wall, it is possible to locate the majority of the library under a flight of stairs leading to the second floor.
Modern design projects regarding bookshelf ideas have many interesting proposals.
A bookcase, the size of which completely covers the wall, miraculously turns the room into a full-fledged library, creating a unique atmosphere.
A room with a small area, where the space does not allow it to be equipped with cabinet furniture, you can use the option of placing wall-mounted bookcases. At the same time, these furniture products are not inferior in their characteristics to full-fledged bookcases.
Popular styles
Hallway cabinets are made in different styles. In particular, the modern trend is characterized by unobtrusive decor with simple lines and non-standard texture.
The coating can be matte or glossy and have bright color shades.
- In the classic version, furniture is made mainly from natural wood. Wood imitation materials are acceptable. The facade is painted in pastel colors, and the lines and corners have their characteristic smooth curves.

A little advice for those who have children in the house. Buy a separate children's wardrobe for them in the hallway. The products are mostly bright and colorful and have a creative design, which makes them an important element in the interior. Important! To ensure that children's wardrobes are safe, stable enough and have as many compartments as needed.
