Surely all people want that when entering a house, only cleanliness and order are revealed to their eyes. But it often happens that there is not enough space in the hallway for all the things. Extra shoes, jackets, bags, scarves - if all this does not in any way meet your expectations of an ideal room, see our ideas for the convenience of a hallway in an ordinary apartment.
Organizers
The most common problem that arises in the hallway is the disorganization of things. We can never find our very favorite hat, so we throw out all our things. To maintain order, use different basket organizers. They come in different styles and colors and can suit any interior. We recommend purchasing several small baskets, for example, for gloves, slippers and other small things. This way you will never forget where this or that thing is. Another advantage of baskets is that they can stand anywhere, on the cabinet and under the bench.
Hooks
Another life hack for organizing a storage system is multi-level hooks in the hallway. This will prevent your jackets from bunching up and falling off. Classic hooks do not provide for the presence of children in the family, and if the hook is located low, the child can easily hang up and take off his jacket. Our advice will make life much easier, and coats and raincoats will wrinkle less and get dirty against each other.
Mirrors
The friends of our hallways are mirrors. They not only look beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, but also help hide all your things from prying eyes.Mirrored closet or bathroom doors will look great in any apartment. Indoors they are needed to visually expand the space. You can put two mirrors opposite each other, if, of course, this allows space, and create the feeling of a portal to another reality. The mirror, in turn, can be decorated with photographs, memorable stickers and other little things.
Plastic furniture
Along with mirrors there is plastic furniture. This is an excellent solution for a small hallway. Shelves, benches, hooks can be bought at any home improvement store. Transparent furniture is invisible and therefore does not clutter up the space. Furniture that matches the color of the walls will also help create a feeling of free space; small fittings on it will only enhance the effect.
Tray with stones
Did you know that if you put a tray with stones (pebbles or gravel) in the hallway, then this dirty water flowing from your boots will no longer stretch along the corridor? Now you know. Place all wet shoes there at once and the floors will be dry and clean. The whole point is that the water from the shoes will flow from the stones into the tray, and it will always remain dry. This way you will extend the life of your shoes, which will no longer sit in a puddle for several hours. Life for your sex, which can also swell with water. This is a very useful thing, especially during periods of prolonged rain and slush.
With these tips, your hallway will become cleaner and more organized. The principles of minimalism will always be relevant; don’t put extra figurines or photographs if you simply don’t have room for it.
Try your tips yourself first. If the hallway is small, then its size cannot be increased in any way. No mirrors, no boxes, no baskets. Multi-level hooks, sometimes not bad if there are no long clothes hanging on the top ones. All illustrations have nothing to do with reality. Everything is exhausted. Even if one person lives in an apartment, this does not happen. Useless article.
I liked the idea with the tray and stones. If there are children in the family, then it is worth trying this method, especially in the fall and spring during the rains.
The advice is empty, and a tray with stones is not at all unsanitary, because street dirt will accumulate in it; washing the stones and drying all this is not realistic at all.
What stupidity from the author. He writes, don’t wash the floor right away when you come from the street. Let the dirt dry on both your shoes and the floor. Like, then vacuum it. Otherwise you will splatter the walls and smear dirt on the floor. Where is the author hanging around if his shoes are in such a state? And it’s easier to wash an empty tray than each pebble separately. It's cute in the picture, but not practical in real life!
