Shoe rack in the hallway: narrow designs for landscaping Shoe cabinets The height of the shoe rack for the hallway

Until recently, we could not even think that for shoes you need to buy a separate piece of furniture. In Soviet times, one shelf in the hallway was usually enough to accommodate the shoes of the whole family. Dad, mom, son and daughter used a maximum of one or two pairs of seasonal shoes in everyday life. For example, in some sneakers one could attend college, go to dances or wear them on a date.

Times have changed. Shoes are no longer in short supply. Now the average Russian has ten pairs for different occasions. The problem arises: "How and where to store them?". Shoes, boots, sneakers, flip flops, sneakers, boots persistently "require" a separate and, preferably, a closed storage place.

Narrow shoe cabinets

Inexpensive narrow shoe cabinets are in particular demand. Typically, the minimum depth of such cabinets for shoes is from 16 to 24 cm, which is determined by the height of the shoes. Less, as a rule, is not produced, tk. they will not even fit such simple shoes as sneakers.

Wars for order in the hallway are most often caused by fallen shoes. Each of the family members usually has more than one pair, which leads to problems. A shoe rack in the hallway can solve the problem. They are different types and types, so there are plenty to choose from.

Types of furniture for storing shoes

Shoe storage is a perennial problem. The hallways are usually not as spacious as we would like, so everything should be placed compactly, but so that access is free. Shoes help to cope with the task different types and types. If you try to give a definition, then we can say that a shoe rack is an open or closed shelf for shoes. Closed ones are called a shoe chest or cabinet, open ones are called a “shelf” or “stand”. If the design is not specified, the generalizing concept of "shoe rack" is used.

The closed shoe storage system can be made in different ways. All models can be divided into several groups:


Such furniture for storing shoes is called a chest of drawers or (locker) for shoes. There is no clear division. Everyone uses the name that he likes best.

closed models

Closed models of shoe racks are called a closet or chest of drawers for shoes. They vary in size. Height - from 50 cm to 220 cm, width - from 30 to 120 cm, depth - from 17 to 55 cm. Next, consider how high a shoe rack can be in the hallway. It is this factor that is considered in the first place.

Closets or chests of drawers for shoes - this is the name of closed-type galoshes

Low

Low galoshes are made up to 50-55 cm high. They usually have only one shelf on which one person's seasonal shoes can be placed. And then, if he is not very fond of buying new shoes / sandals / boots. Occasionally, two low shelves are made in a low shoe rack. Normally, you can only arrange summer or autumn shoes without heels. Boots and even shoes on such shelves will no longer stand. Unless you put them sideways.

Deep down they can be small

The advantage of a low chest of drawers for shoes can be a seat. That is, in your hallway there is not just a bench / bench for shoes, but furniture for shoes with a seat. Rational use of all available space - that's what this option gives.

medium height

With a height of 60 to 120 cm, the shelves are already enough to accommodate the shoes of a family of 3-4 people. In this segment, there are chests of drawers for shoes with open shelves, which are placed on the sides of the shoe shelves. Most often, there is a long and narrow section - for storing an umbrella. Ladies can adapt this section for high boots.

There are different styles, you can choose for any interior

There are models of chests of drawers for shoes in the upper part of which there is a shelf for small change, there are also drawers for storing gloves, keys, etc. For rational use space, above the shoe cabinet, you can or.

Tall shoe cabinets

Perhaps the most interesting category. It makes sense to take these shoe racks in the hallway the same height as the closet (if there is one in your hallway). Although not all shelves can be easily reached, but on the top you can remove off-season or weekend shoes. In addition to traditional shoe cabinets with hinged doors, there is a narrow shoe cabinet with retractable shelves. This option is good if you have a small distance - 30-40 cm - between, say, a closet and a wall. It is in such niches that you can put such narrow and deep shoe cabinets. They are also called "shoe cases".

A shoe cabinet of small width is called a "pencil case"

A closed shoe rack in the hallway is good because the doors reliably hide order or mess. Second positive moment- aesthetic. Many people like these models more than open shelves. There are closed models and cons. The first is that shoes dry longer in them, the second is that their price is higher, since more material is required.

Shoe cabinets in the hallway open type

The design of a shoe rack in an open corridor is simple: two sidewalls to which shelves are attached. In height, they are usually either low - up to 50 cm high, or medium in height - up to a meter. High ones are extremely rare. In this category, there are also several typical models:

  • Standard shoe rack. Height - up to 80 cm, width - from 50 cm, depth - from 35 cm, otherwise men's shoes big size does not fit in it. A simple shoe rack has two to five shelves, depending on the height. Some models have closed shelves on the side. They can be used both for storing shoes and for other things.

    Shelves for shoes are one of the most practical options. The downside is that dust settles on shoes ... well, that you have to maintain order

  • Shelf for shoes with a seat. The height of this furniture for storing shoes is small - in the region of 50-60 cm. Otherwise, it is uncomfortable to sit. Their width starts from 60 cm, depth - from 40 cm. When buying such a model, pay attention to the strength of the frame: it can withstand the weight of a seated person.

    If the shoe rack is divided into cells, make sure that they are rectangular - square ones are inconvenient ... The cheapest are plastic shoe racks

They can be made of wood, metal, or a combination of these materials. If we talk about the choice of material, then it makes sense to select the furniture that is already in your hallway. If you cannot find the same material or color, look for a close one. Simple metal models look neutral. Such a shoe rack will fit into the hallway of any style.

Shelves for shoes made of wood, or MDF, look more interesting. Even a simple wooden shelf can look good. She wins due to the texture of wood. It doesn't have to be hidden behind a door.

There are also open shoe racks, which are called racks or shoe stands. They do not have shelves - blades are made of wire or plastic, on which shoes are put on. A very convenient and compact way to store summer and autumn shoes. Such shoes fit up to 36 pairs in a small space. There is a special model for "installing" boots. The number of pairs is less, but the problem with creases in the tops has been solved. Decent decision.

It is difficult to somehow name such structures. The most appropriate name is a rack or hanger))

They look good and are divided from chipboard and MDF. They are usually laminated with wood-like films, which gives them solidity. There may be a couple of closed ones next to an open shelf. This option is not bad: you can store in the open those pairs that are now in the sock, in the closed ones, those that are rarely worn or until the time has come for them.

What materials are they made from

Shoes in the hallway are made from the following materials:


All these varieties can have different shelves. The usual solid ones - plastic, chipboard, MDF - are not very convenient. Dust and dirt accumulate on them, they impede the movement of air, which makes the shoes dry worse. The best way- from a metal wire or several pipes / pins on which shoes are placed.

It is convenient if the distance between the shelves and / or their number can be changed. For the summer, you can put it more often, for the winter - remove a couple of shelves - you need long distances under boots and boots.

Pull-out shelves are a great idea ... the main thing is to implement it

Shelves can also be not only stationary, but also retractable, which is also very convenient. Especially if the shoe rack for the hallway has a great depth. It is necessary to get to the last row of shoes - they put forward a shelf. And do not bend down, look while standing in an uncomfortable position.

Unusual and non-standard models

For the most part, a shoe rack for the hallway is furniture that is placed on the floor. But there are several varieties that are hung on vertical surfaces: walls, doors. For example, the PitStop wall-mounted shoe rack. The shelves in it are folding, each is divided into three cells. One shelf, two drawers. If desired, they can be hung one above the other or placed horizontally.

There is a wire shoe rack that can be hung on any vertical surface. It can be the same wall, closet door, pantry, dressing room, etc. They make a great shoe organizer. They are, of course, more expensive, but it is more convenient to use them, the shoes do not wrinkle so much and keep their shape better. A couple of these options can be seen in the photo below.

Hanging shelves for shoes can be placed in a narrow space, between the wall and the cabinet, on the side of the cabinet. This will help organize the space of a small hallway.

Rotating models

From non-standard models, one can still recall racks and rotating shelves. If there are a lot of shoes, there is not much space for placing them, but there is a free corner, you can install a rack with rotating shelves. The corners are hard to fully exploit, and the rotating shelf will fit perfectly there. And it fits a lot of shoes.

A rotating shoe rack is a good idea for optimal use of floor space.

For small hallways in small apartments there is even more interesting option: combined entrance hall with a shelf for shoes. This piece of furniture is double sided. On the one hand - hangers for clothes, on the other - shelves for shoes. The whole structure rotates around its own axis. You need to hang up your coat - turn it to the side with the hooks. you need to put your shoes on - they turned the shelves towards you.

Such furniture can probably be placed in the corner. Takes up little space. At all, interesting idea. Although, you can also find a shoe rack with a hanger or a mirror. But they are stationary and do not use space as efficiently.

Shoe rack in the hallway: photos of interesting models

There are several models that are difficult to attribute to any class. Interesting idea, shape, material. We will post them in this section. Maybe this is where your shoebox is waiting for you in the hallway.

An easy way to turn an open model into a closed one

If there are too many shoes...

Glass and wood - why not ...

In this version, it looks more like a couch ...

For quick access ... you can, by the way, put in a closet

Everyone has looked at photographs of stylish, clutter-free and functional hallways at least once. They do not see the blockages of jackets and shoes placed around the entire perimeter. However, in real conditions, you can create an aesthetic appearance of the corridor, which will help provide a shoe rack for a narrow hallway.

Features and Benefits

Unfortunately, small apartments today everywhere, and especially the houses of old buildings “please” them. Five-story buildings with tiny corridors and kitchens again and again force residents to count every centimeter during repairs. Narrow shoe racks stand guard over wasted space, fitting even in a small corner by the door.

The shoe rack in the hallway is a closet or cabinet designed for shoes. Its shelves can be open, or they can be securely closed with doors, hiding this element of the wardrobe from prying eyes, which is so difficult to put in perfect order.

In addition, closed shelves can be slims for maximum storage capacity.

Flat and open sloping shelves also please with the ability to place a large number of pairs of shoes on them.

Unlike open wide shelves, narrow shelves for the corridor in closed options take care of the shoes. External impact, dust settling and the possibility of mechanical damage by animals are completely excluded here. The attractiveness of the pairs inside is multiplied by the external aesthetics of the shoe rack. Beautiful forged details, solid wood, chrome-plated steel - all this allows the owner of the bookcase to be proud of such a practical and stylish element in the interior.

Another advantage lies in the relatively affordable cost. Of course, the price can vary significantly depending on the material and design, but in general it will be lower than the cost of models of impressive size.

Unfortunately, even when we talk about the spaciousness of narrow cabinets, it is difficult to compare them with spacious and wide models. In the same slims it is difficult to complete bulky boots and boots. However, they may well serve as a worthy option, where spaciousness is correlated with the possibility of saving space.

Moreover, it is not always the right dimensions for a specific hallway can be found in stock, because every extra centimeter here can significantly spoil appearance and make the hallway cramped and uncomfortable. It is worth saying that this drawback cannot be considered sufficient to abandon such models.

Bookcases and shoe racks to order are a great opportunity to independently choose not only the desired dimensions, but also the color and materials that are ideal for a particular corridor.

The cost of models to order is somewhat higher than ready-made cabinets for shoes, but, you see, the daily comfort and order in the hallway is worth it.

Models

Models of compact shoe racks are thought out to the smallest detail and are very diverse. So, conditionally, all types can be divided into:

  • open;
  • closed.

Open models imply a base and shelves for shoes made of various materials. As part of the closed models, there are also doors.

  • Among open shelves also have their own subdivisions. So, the most common model can be considered an open bookcase with horizontal shelves. They can be made of metal, plastic or wood. The minimum shelf depth starts at 25 cm, however, it is more rational to use deeper models that are also suitable for shoes large sizes, equal in depth to an average of 40 cm.

  • Shelves with horizontal shelves, as a rule, do not differ in height, and therefore some models can be seen with a seat. At the same time, the shoes appear below a comfortable place for shoes, which can have a soft and pleasant base, similar to classic banquettes for hallways. If the shoe rack is angular and is a semicircle, then the seat becomes more comfortable and roomy.

  • Another open bookcase that is gaining popularity has a minimal depth and horizontal shelves that slope around 45 degrees. They allow you to install even men's shoes on a shoe rack, pleasing with their compactness. It is worth noting that such a slope affects the height of the model, and therefore truly roomy shelves of this type reach a height equal to the hallway table. At the same time, they do not lose their external aesthetics, on the contrary, allowing you to decorate the upper horizontal panel with cozy little things.

  • An interesting and original look is shoe racks, instead of shelves in which shoulder blades protrude. One pair of shoes is installed vertically on each shoulder blade, which allows the latter to avoid the accumulation of an unpleasant odor, as well as to dry faster and retain its attractive appearance for a long time. I must say that such models can also have long shoulder blades, indispensable for boots with an elongated shaft. With proper shoe care and cleanliness, shoe racks look light and airy, without reducing even a tiny hallway and accommodating up to 36 pairs of summer and autumn shoes.

Closed shoe racks can be divided according to the criterion of height:

  • low;
  • medium;
  • high.

Low models are complemented by a seat and are quite comfortable, although they only fit a few pairs of shoes. This situation is caused by the presence of one or a maximum of two shelves, because otherwise it will be impossible to sit down on such a model.

If the number of family members is large, and the narrow hallway does not strive to become wider, experts recommend taking a closer look at shoe racks of medium height. Their closed shelves are often completed with a mirror, allowing you to wash away the visual boundaries of the occupied space.

High shoe cabinets are real shoe cabinets that can accommodate a huge number of pairs. They look especially organic in tandem with a wardrobe, becoming a single design. The upper shelves in the closet are reserved for seasonal shoes, the shelves at eye level are for everyday shoes. An interesting variety here is a pencil case, which is narrow cabinet with pull-out shelf. Their width is only 30-40 cm, which is a huge plus for the existing small area near the closet.

Closed shoe racks can also be classified according to the type of doors. So, they can be:

  • swing;
  • sliding.

Sliding models are valued by designers to a greater extent than swing models, because even in open form they do not take away the valuable free space of a narrow hallway. For slims, panels are used that are attached to the design of folding shelves and imitate doors.

Dimensions

Shoe sizes for narrow hallways are diverse, especially when you consider that most of them are made according to individual measurements. On average, low models of open and closed shoe racks start at a height of 50 cm, which makes them compact and convenient to use as a bench. Despite the stereotypes about the complete impracticality of this size, provided that the models are long and reach 120 cm, it is quite possible to place the shoes of two or more family members in them.

If for some reason too wide bookcases cannot be used in the hallway, then it is most reasonable to pay attention to cabinets of medium height, starting with a parameter of 60 cm. Bookcases with these measurements equal to 120 cm also belong to the medium category. It is in such models that you can most often see the slim mechanism with folding shelves and a minimum depth. So, the depth of 13 cm and 16 cm is a reality that has versatility and practicality. For example, a wardrobe with dimensions of 1050 x 500 x 130mm allows you to place 6 pairs of shoes, which is not bad, provided that it takes up almost no space.

Nevertheless, if there is free space, it is best to use a good depth equal to 55 cm. Of course, the desired is not always feasible in specific areas, and therefore a cabinet up to 220 cm high and 30 cm long can come to the rescue. shoes in which it stands upside down will save space well, and if there is a closet in the hallway, it also looks very organic. The width of 40 cm can also be used for a pencil case.

materials

Materials for high-quality shoe racks in various styles are:

  • solid wood;
  • metal;
  • plastic;
  • chipboard.

It is worth saying that each of the listed options looks organic and fashionable today, differing only in practicality and durability. For example, solid wood is considered a natural, warm and cozy material, which adds to it a special nobility and stature. With proper processing of wood, it also has moisture resistance. The proper quality and quantity of impregnations will protect the tree from a gray tint, and therefore, when purchasing such a model, it is important to know all the intricacies of production. Budget options are models made of pine or birch, in a higher price segment you can see ash and oak.

An alternative to the array today are models from chipboard and MDF. They can mimic well natural wood or delight with a lacquered finish and rich color. Indeed, a variety of colors and styles with affordable price wins over and captivates potential customers.

Although these materials are moisture resistant, it is better to choose metal shelves directly. Otherwise, the constant accumulation of moisture on them can lead to swelling of the surface and unaesthetic bubbles.

Models with ridiculous prices are made of plastic. Durable and lightweight, it is suitable for those who have to rearrange the shoe rack, often moving furniture or installing a bookcase inside the main cabinet. Unfortunately, with all the strength, plastic cabinets can hardly be worthy of sophisticated interiors, and therefore it is better to save such a simple and practical option for giving.

Steel is considered the most versatile material. Properly crafted chrome-plated metal shoeboxes look decent, allow shoes to dry properly, and are reasonably priced. They are ideal in minimalist styles and other modern trends. However, for the romantic styles of "country" and "Provence" iron models look win-win, provided they are supplemented with forging details.

Color solutions

Today, shoe racks have no restrictions in color manifestation. On the contrary, designers recommend not to be afraid of bright colors that can enliven any hallway. Of course, this is not about classic interiors in which every detail should be stylistic. Most often in bright colors you can see whatnots made of chipboard and metal models. Pink, lilac, purple, white, burgundy and black are just a few of the shades that are popular and in use today.

In the case when the shoe rack is already purchased in addition to the finished interior and hallway furniture, it is combined with the main color solution last. So, if the beech color is used for the wardrobe, then it is a win-win to use it for the cabinet for shoes. The frequent combination of bleached oak and wenge in furniture is also actively used in designs.

A white shoe rack is a good option for romantic interiors. Especially the beauty of this tone is revealed in forged models with intricate twisted patterns. It is worth saying that black forged products look very stylish. Options made of wood or laminated chipboard and MDF are also painted white, however, designers are advised to look for combinations with more contrasting shades here.

Overview of manufacturers and reviews

Shoe cabinets, cabinets for shoes, shoe cabinets, shoe cabinets and whatnots are presented today in the assortment of each manufacturer of cabinet furniture. However, sometimes you have to run around more than one store in search of that very narrow model. And here manufacturers, known to everyone and everyone, are in a hurry to help.

  • So, a brand from the Netherlands Ikea has long established itself in Russia, where it has located its stores in every major city. As you know, the interiors of the company are famous for their minimalism and practicality of every detail, and shoe racks are no exception. Shoe cabinets with a depth of 30 cm, having two and three compartments, have compact size and good capacity.

For example, today the Bissa shoe cabinet made of chipboard, made in dark color. With two compartments with a partition in each, it can accommodate six pairs of shoes. For winter and high pairs, you need more space, and therefore shoes fit less. Nevertheless, the reviews about this product are only positive, because it can be used both separately (for a family of two) and combined with the same model. Some even place three shoe racks next to each other, creating a real and roomy shoe module with their own hands.

Organization inner space rooms directly depends on the availability of furniture. It is they who make it possible to create some kind of harmony.

As for the hallway, here special role is given to a shoe rack, which, as a rule, is a kind of chest of drawers, and sometimes a real work of art.

How to make the right choice?

In most cases, a shoe rack in the hallway is purchased already at the final stage of the repair.

Particular attention should be paid to the overall dimensions so that the shoe rack can ideally fit in all respects relative to the common room.

For a large family, it is better to purchase a narrow cabinet, approximately the same plan as shown in the photo of the shoe rack in the hallway, for example, for storing seasonal shoes. See more information about hallways.

It is better if you purchase a fairly spacious closet with additional built-in drawers available. If possible, you can purchase a shoe rack with a seat in the hallway so that you can change shoes without any difficulties.

Configuration Features

Depending on the design, such furniture can be divided into certain types:

  • open type;
  • closed type;
  • slim;
  • shoe cabinet-cabinet - combining a shoe box with other different modules;
  • shoe dryer;
  • rack - great for numerous shoes, and it can be both open and closed.

The most common is the open version. The main advantages include: a ventilation system, the absence of a possible unpleasant odor and fungus.

However, in addition to the advantages, there are also certain negative qualities, for example, the accumulation of dirt on the surface of the shoes, since such shoe racks in the hallway are low in structure.

The closed variety has the appearance of a cabinet with shelves or cabinets with doors. This option is preferred by those who have pets, as this variety can help keep shoes safe and sound from external damage.

Another quite unusual option shoebox is slim. This is a kind of high, narrow and elongated furniture, which is perfect for a small and not very spacious hallway.

The main disadvantages of such structures include instability, unlike wall-mounted shoe racks in the hallway, and the lack of a special compartment for storing shoe care products.

shoe cabinet materials

To create furniture, first of all, the individual needs of customers, as well as the economic component and the duration of operation, are taken into account.

Especially popular are metal shoe racks in the hallway, which are distinguished by their strength and durability.

There are a huge number of different furniture factories, the most popular of which is Ikea. The shoe rack in the hallway made by this customer is able to exceed any expectations and satisfy all needs.

Color Features

The choice of stand is carried out taking into account the overall style decision and color preferences. So, for example, a wooden box can be easily painted in the required color.

The easiest way to decide on a color is if the walls have a neutral shade, and other pieces of furniture are simply absent.

A good solution would be to use narrow and tall cabinet options.

If the shoe rack has a shade of "oak" or "beech", then it is better to paint the wall in light colors, and the furniture to purchase shades of "cherry" or "alder".

DIY shoe rack

Furniture, created independently, always compares favorably with standard interior items. However, it is better to refuse such an option when creating a high-tech, oriental or baroque style. But in country houses they will come in handy.

Most suitable options are considered:

  • drawer-rack - have side shelves-beams;
  • pallet - pre-varnished, while the shoes are stored in special slots;
  • organizer - a summer version in the form of so-called pockets.

Whatever the shoe rack, the presence of even the most ordinary makes it possible to give the room coziness and harmony.
