1. A colour concept for the narrow hallway
Corridors usually have little daylight especially in small hallways, it is therefore advisable to use a bright colour concept so that the room appears larger. Pastel tones, grey, beige or neutral white have an inviting, open and friendly effect and are best combined with light-coloured furniture in natural wood tones or with light colours that match the walls. Carefully used home accessories, mirrors or pictures create a pleasant contrast and enliven the room. Careful consideration should be given to ensure the chosen colour concept harmonises with the overall interior.
2. Create space and order with carefully selected hall furniture
If possible, only a few pieces of furniture should be placed in small hallways. With a space-saving shoe cabinet or shoe rack, you can easily manage the shoe chaos in the hallway. Regardless of whether a shoe cabinet, chest of drawers or clothes rack, in narrow corridors objects with a minimal depth are crucial so that the hall furniture does not block the way. Long, narrow furniture also emphasizes the shape of a small hallway and creates sufficient storage space. Sophisticated, multifunctional furniture is often designed especially for small rooms: benches that have a further level, for example, offer seating and storage space in one. The manufacturer Müller Small Living has specialized in design furniture for small apartments and, for example, supplies the perfect furniture for a small entrance area with the Flai storage bench.
3. Practical wall mounted coat racks for small entrance areas
When choosing furniture for the hallway, a focus is appropriate storage space for coats, hats, scarves, and general clothes: whereby placing the cloakroom as high up as practical, certainly above the line of sight, gives the impression of more space. Instead of hangers that protrude far into the room, coats, jackets and bags can simply be hung on coat hooks. In addition to timeless Thonet or Vitra clothes racks, there are also innovative contemporary designer objects from manufacturers such as Nils Holger Moormann or Schönbuch.
4. Home accessories and design ideas for your hallway
Instead of using large pictures that need a lot of space to work, you should consider decorating the walls in small corridors with small pictures. Runners not only provide a pleasant floor feeling and beautiful colour accents, they also elegantly emphasize the narrow shape of your hallway. A noble bowl as a storage space for keys, wallet or mobile phone on a chest of drawers or a wall shelf is not only indispensable, once introduced, but also sets special aesthetic accents. A round mirror placed over a chest of drawers provides a noble contrast in a narrow hallway. Mirrors in the hallway also make the room appear larger and always allow a last check of your outfit before going out.
5. Inviting lighting in small hallways
The light is also absolutely crucial for the hall furnishings, because a bright hallway not only looks larger, but is above all inviting. As floor lamps can take up too much space, it is best to combine one or more pendant lamps with an additional wall lamp. Design lights with integrated LED technology in particular are often characterised by their minimalist, slim design, without compromising on luminescence.
