The first impression of an apartment or house is formed when the guest enters the hallway. And, if the living room is the “heart” of the apartment, then the entrance hall is its “face”, which must be perfect. To make it look stylish and neat, while maintaining its functionality, it is necessary to use a competent approach to interior design and furniture selection. The storage system for clothes and shoes is the central element of this room, which should be as spacious as possible, but compact. At the same time, the corner cabinet in the hallway, the photo of which is presented below, is the best option.
The design of the corner cabinet allows you to use the place in the hallway, which is difficult to fill ordinary furniture so that it does not clutter up the space. There are both advantages and disadvantages of choosing a corner cabinet in the hallway over the usual one.
| Advantages | disadvantages |
| Suitable for hallways of any size and shape. Particularly useful is the placement of a corner cabinet in a small, narrow corridor, in which a regular cabinet will either not fit, or will be very small and of little use. | The complete set only standard elements of filling is possible. You can equip a small wardrobe with curved shelves or drawers, but with a large volume of the corner module, it will not be convenient to use them. |
| It is not inferior in capacity to an ordinary closet, and depending on the specific type, it also surpasses it. | The radius type of wardrobe is not suitable for a small hallway. |
| Saves space | Higher cost compared to conventional, linear wardrobes. |
| Capable of correcting bad layouts | A corner hallway with a do-it-yourself wardrobe can be made, but it will not be easy. |
| Ease of use of the corner hallway, which consists in free access to the contents of the wardrobe from two sides. | |
| Appropriateness of use in any interior. | |
| Multifunctionality: a corner cabinet for a small hallway can store not only clothes, but also shoes, any household items. Compared to it, an ordinary closet does not combine a shoe rack. In addition, the corner cabinet often also performs a decorative function due to the outside shelves. | |
| A mirror cabinet visually enlarges the space more than a conventional compartment with a mirror on the doors. This is due to the fact that the linear wardrobe "pushes" the walls, while the corner wardrobe expands the space diagonally. |
The most important advantage that a corner wardrobe has in the hallway, the photo of the varieties of which are presented below, is that it is able to replace all the furniture necessary for placement in the hall. In addition, it has an attractive appearance: a wardrobe placed in the corner of the room will never look bulky.
Varieties
There are many varieties of corner wardrobes for placement in the corridor. It can be a stand-alone wardrobe in the corner, or a whole system of modules, which is a corner hallway with a wardrobe.
The following types of wardrobes for the hallway can be distinguished:
- according to the type of construction - freestanding or built-in wardrobe. The second type is more ergonomic and roomy, however, in the event of a move, it may be difficult to assemble it at a new place of residence;
- according to the type of facade - open systems or closed. The first type is cabinets with open shelving, hangers, shelves. At the same time, small items and accessories, as well as hats, are placed in baskets located on the shelves. The second type is a design with doors of any type and drawers;
- according to the type of door system - coupe, hinged. Corner cabinets in a small hallway are most often installed with sliding doors, which save space. There are also models with folding doors that open in the form of an "accordion". This version of the opening system is the most optimal and convenient, since it does not leave "dead" zones, but it is also the most expensive due to the complex fittings. Large wardrobes often combine several types of doors;
- in terms of functionality, wardrobes can consist of one corner cabinet or make up a whole modular system with a corner cabinet, including: a banquette, hangers, shoe boxes, a key stand, a telephone, a storage system, and so on. A single cabinet without additional items is usually installed in a small hall where there is no possibility to place something else.
There are no standards for filling, it depends on the personal preferences of everyone, therefore, there are many types of cabinets in terms of the internal distribution of the storage system.

Manufacturing materials
A wardrobe for placement in the corner of the corridor can be made from various materials, which will directly affect its cost. The most expensive, but also the most durable and durable models are storage systems made of natural wood. Cheaper cost materials are MDF, chipboard, OSB. But this does not mean that a storage system made from cheaper materials will be less durable, the service life of a wardrobe does not depend on the type of material from which it is made, but on its quality and the quality of furniture assembly.

Shape and dimensions
The dimensions of the storage system for the hall should be such as to easily accommodate not only the clothes of all household members, but also the incoming guests. The dimensions of the cabinet should be selected taking into account some facts:
- whether it is planned to store items of all seasons inside the wardrobe, or is there a separate storage system for non-seasonal items elsewhere;
- for small and narrow corridor choose a cabinet of appropriate dimensions. But for a spacious hallway, you should choose proportionate furniture so that it fits organically into the space;
- if there is a child in the family, you need to plan the location of the hangers at such a height that he can reach them. Usually the distance from the floor to additional hangers is 110 cm.
The minimum wardrobe height is 140 cm to accommodate winter clothes. The maximum height is limited by personal tastes and preferences.
If the corridor is small, it is recommended to place narrow corner hallways height to the ceiling - thus the space visually increases, the ceiling "rises" up. The recommended value for the minimum wardrobe depth is 35 cm, and the width of the cabinet depends on the size of the hallway and the volume of occupancy.
Corner cabinets in the hallway can have a different shape:
- triangular storage system - with this design, the wardrobe occupies the entire corner of the hallway, the doors are located diagonally. Often built-in structures are made in this way. The triangular design can be installed in both spacious and small hallways. If the size of the storage system is large enough, you can go inside. In appearance, such a cabinet looks bulky, but its filling space is the largest of all other types. In addition, the cost of the triangular structure is the lowest, since the most costly part in terms of finances here are the doors;
- square shape - the two side parts of the structure form a right angle with two adjacent walls. This is a spacious, inexpensive storage system that is most often installed in large hallways because it takes up a lot of space. Below are the design ideas for such structures;
- trapezoidal - when placing such a design, the two side parts are located at an angle, suitable for installation in long narrow hallways;
- g-shaped - the design consists of three modules, one of which is a corner cabinet, and the other two resemble ordinary linear storage systems. This is an ergonomic cabinet that visually takes up less space than other types. Often, the L-shaped design contains combined storage systems: a closed cabinet, open shelves, drawers, a bench, a hanger. Photo design ideas of such systems are shown below;
- radius cabinets - characterized by the presence of a semicircular facade - convex or concave. The first form is usually found in large halls, and the second type is the best option to save space. This original designs having a stylish look.
Useful extras
Some corner hallways may have useful additions:
- small boxes for gloves, some other small things and objects so that they are not lost;
- hooks and hangers for children's clothes, located at a height convenient for the child;
- supply of key holders - small hooks or lockers for storing keys, located in a conspicuous place;
- one or more shoe racks;
- a separate shelf for storing hats and a separate box for storing accessories;
- side open shelves for storing decorative items. In addition, they will help you quickly find the right thing.
Sometimes the storage system is equipped with a separate shelf for the bag, as well as a bench with a reclining seat, under which there is a box. A useful addition to the corner cabinet will be small lamps built into the shelves: they will help when searching for small items, as well as create excellent decorative lighting for the hallway.
Selection rules
To choose a corner cabinet that matches the characteristics of the room and style without sacrificing functionality for a long service life, you need to take into account some of the nuances:
- it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the material for the manufacture of the cabinet, its facades, doors, fasteners and fittings. Elements of internal filling must also be made of durable materials: a bar, hooks and hangers made of metal, shelves made of wood;
- for a small hallway there are rules for choosing. The cabinet should visually appear compact, not cluttering up the room. To do this, pay attention to the color of the facades, giving preference to light shades. Choosing a white cabinet will be impractical, but beige, peach, light gray and shades close to them will help visually make the room more spacious. A narrow high cabinet will visually raise the ceiling, and a mirrored door will push the boundaries of the room;
- a cabinet with open shelves visually increases the space, but the slightest mess on the shelves will lead to clutter throughout the interior.
Dimensions, type of door opening, choice of filling system depends on the dimensions of the room. If you can't pick suitable option, then you can always make a closet in the hallway with your own hands.

As a result, many problems arise. One of them is the ergonomic arrangement of a small hallway space. Furniture with large dimensions will not fit into a small room, so a corner hallway will come in handy in this situation. Such a hallway will save a lot of space, while maintaining the functionality of the room.
The hallway is a very busy space. Guests and you enter the house through the hallway and corridor, respectively, it is here that outerwear and shoes, and other accessories should be correctly placed. Since the hallway belongs to the overall design of the apartment, its arrangement should be combined.
A distinctive feature of such corner hallways is the arrangement of furniture. Details are arranged in an indirect line, bending differently. In this case, all components should look like a single whole.
With a proper arrangement, it is possible to completely fill all the possible space without losing functionality, but on the contrary, increasing the capacity. The color scheme and style of the furniture should be combined with the rest of the furniture and emphasize the overall design. You can choose any material for manufacturing, for example, a canvas of exotic wenge wood.
Special requirements for furniture in the corridor:
- Proper layout of components - a niche will take up most of the space, so you need to properly dispose of all this space.
- Ease of use. The corridor and the hallway are walk-through rooms, respectively, the use of each drawer and shelf should be well thought out.
Maximum use of the minimum set of components. It is necessary to think over and calculate all furniture components in such a way that they are necessary, and there would be no unused elements.
How to organize a corner of the corridor
Furniture manufacturers offer many different options for every buyer. It is possible not only to choose an existing set of elements, but also to independently come up with the one that suits you.
Corner hallway components:
- Hangers - for the location of outerwear.
- Wardrobe in various combinations, for example, with a chest of drawers.
- Closet. Use models with mirrored doors, as there will be no need to additionally place a mirror. The mirror surface is an excellent space expander.
- shoe rack.
- Component with shelves and drawers.
Thus, it turns out that the corner hallways are a combination of a standard set of furniture, located in a form that is convenient for the ergonomics of the room.
Usually the corridor has a rectangular layout, furniture can be placed along the wall. But, if the shape is square, then questions arise which hallway should be chosen. In the case when the corner remains free, it should be occupied by placing furniture for the hallway there.
At the same time, this corner does not have to be formed inward, a protruding corner is also perfect. But, for such a situation, special corner furniture is needed.
Subtleties and features of the corner modular hallway
You can choose any wardrobe for the corner hallway. Based on the size of the room, it can be both double-leaf and single-leaf. The mezzanine, if necessary, can be built-in, and can also be separate. Corner cupboard will attract the main attention to itself, and occupy a central position in the corridor and hallway, so it is necessary to approach the choice as responsibly as possible.
Corner hallways are open and closed, namely:
- Open is preferable for small rooms. The depth of this design is usually 45 cm. This option will be quite neat and presentable. The originality of this type allows you to harmoniously use unusual accessories, shelves, racks, mirrors in the configuration.
- Closed will fit well into a large hallway. The package may include large components. Thus, it turns out that it is very easy to place the maximum number of things in such a dressing room, and there is no need for a large number of diverse components. Any model fits. Both wardrobes and models with hinged doors will look great.
Cabinets are divided into left and right, it depends on the side of the door opening. This point should be taken into account initially, because furniture is not always designed in such a way as to change something during operation.

The walk-through nature of the premises sets the tone for the furniture design. It is necessary to ergonomically arrange the space so that movement is not hindered, while the main tasks and functions are not lost.

And allows you to ergonomically use the space in large apartments. An ordinary closet in the corner looks inharmonious and uses the area only partially.
It is more reasonable to purchase a corner cabinet in the corridor or hallway. Design, interior ideas are discussed in detail in this material.
What features are endowed with corner cabinets in the corridor
These furniture designs have their own characteristics, which will have to be reckoned with when going to the corridor. Access to the internal compartments is carried out from two sides, which is very convenient, but not entirely ergonomic. But the corner modules visually soften the geometry of the corner and create a comfortable environment in the room.
The most popular and convenient form of a corner cabinet is a five-wall cabinet. Here, the back walls form 90 ° and fit exactly into the corner of the room, and the side walls are perpendicular to the walls. The presence of right angles allows you to fill such a cabinet in the most rational way.
The L-shaped headset makes a hard impression, which can only be softened by the rounded bend of the hinged door of the wardrobe module. From the point of view of functionality, such hallways are good. There are other variations of the L-shaped headset: part of the wardrobe section is deaf (does not open) and adjoins the wall, and next to it they install console stand with mirror.
Advice! When buying such a model, you need to take into account that the depth of the blind compartment should not be large, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to get and fold things.
If the corner module is an independent element, it can be trapezoidal. Its side walls, as a rule, have a slight slope, so the installation of additional sections next to such a cabinet is not possible. The design is ergonomic and second only to the five-wall cabinet.
Dimensions of corner cabinets
The built-in corner wardrobe in the corridor is standard project. But in many modern houses hallways of non-standard layout, which requires owners to purchase furniture to order, that is, according to individual sizes.
Corner cabinets, unlike straight modules, have their own parameters, which are due to the atypical shape of the structures.
- The minimum height of the corner module is 140 cm. Higher is possible, but within reason. If the section is lower, the ability to store winter clothes limited.
- In a five-wall, the depth dimension is the width of the sidewalls. In triangular and trapezoidal modules, the depth is the length of the perpendicular segment from the back wall to the door. If the ratio of this value and the distance from the deepest point of the cabinet is close to one, the internal space will be used most rationally.
- The depth of the side walls should not be less than 35 cm. A module with a minimum parameter will fit in the smallest hallway or corridor, but only an end bar can be installed inside it, and there can be no talk of any pantographs here.
- Width is the size of the back wall from corner to corner. In the five-wall optimal width- at least 70 cm, otherwise the design will be non-functional.
Advice! Rather than acquiring a narrow five-wall, it is more expedient to put an ordinary hanger in a corner - it is both cheaper and more ergonomic.
Corner wardrobe in the corridor: interior features
As well as for other rooms, a wardrobe for corridor is chosen in accordance with the interior and the general style of the home. But since the entrance hall is considered a non-residential area and its visitors spend little time here, this feature is also taken into account, so the room is decorated somewhat more modestly.
Nevertheless, the presence of at least a minimum of scenery in the corridor is a prerequisite. This role can be played original stand for umbrellas, luxurious - beautiful and at the same time functional. There must be a large mirror in the hallway, which is often mounted in the facade of the wardrobe. Now a little about styles.

hallway options

Choice
Today on furniture market a huge selection of hallways is presented, and furniture is presented as a different decor, and can be made from different materials, different size, different styles. It is not easy in this case to choose the furniture that suits best.

Before placing an order, it is worth deciding on the components. It is important to provide for all the details so that later further operation does not cause inconvenience.
Do not use massive and overall furniture. Arrangement begins with that very corner element. Corner furniture stores a lot of things, and therefore it is worth paying attention to such ideas.
When choosing a closet, it is better to have a model that has end rails, because this way you can hang outerwear facing forward. This weight of clothes saves a lot of space.
Pay attention to retractable bars, because thanks to them it is possible to store more clothes.
In the furniture catalogs and in the photo of the corner hallway, you can see how often the set is complemented by a seated soft component.
