Design Dilemma Hallways Storage

Hallway storage ideas - coats and shoes!

6 years ago

I am looking for ideas and inspiration for hallway storage - particularly coats and shoes. With 5 of us in the house, the hallway always ends up cluttered. Unfortunately this is our only space to keep it all. Any ideas for neat and attractive storage/hooks/shoe racks would be appreciated!

Thank you.

A photo would definitely help. We had no storage space in our hallway. We had drawers put under the stairs which hold a lot of shoes. We then put 2 levels of coat hooks (similar to photo) behind a door that I tend to leave open to disguise them slightly. Meant to be a 2 coat limit per person, with others kept in wardrobes but this rule is often ignored!

Photos of the hall will be helpful, so we can perhaps give you specific ideas.
Do you have space for a closed cupboard?
Coats look neater on hangers than when they are on hooks.
IKEA has some very shallow shoe storage cupboards that you can hang on the wall or place against the wall, and that you can store quite a lot of shoes in.
Or perhaps you have space for combined coat rack and bench that will also hold shoes.

What shall I put on this wall?

You could do a bench with a top that opened for storage. This way family & guests have a place to sit and take off their shoes or boots when entering. You could also put hooks on the wall above the bench for a place to hang coats or keys. A second option could be a sideboard or dresser. This would also provide storage and you could put decorative accessories on the top of it and hang a nice picture on the wall.

The art in the last pic is hung way too high. I would suggest the shoe storage from Ikea with the flip down front is that a radiator in the hall where the stuff is sitting on top if not that is where the shoe storage could go with some nice hooks above for the coats that are used each day. Can the double buggy not be parked outside with a clear plastic cover to protect it instead of in this very small space.

What are the most important design considerations for a Self-Build?

Hi Michele, self build is very exciting and we wish you luck for your upcoming project. We have various tips when it comes to our customers designing their home. As some have suggested above understanding how you and your family occupy the space is fundamental in making those early design decisions. We also tell self builders to put 'wants and needs' into 3 columns, must have, nice to have and luxury. This helps define budget and start with the fundamentals before progressing to those items such as cinema rooms or a top end kitchen worktop. There are many helpful tips on our Self Build Academy website also plenty of design and interior inspiration at Potton Self Build Galleries Before you decide that building your home is right for you, ask yourself four questions; Do you have the time and commitment to see your project through to the end. Do you have the skills and knowledge required for the task ahead Do you understand the cost involved and do you have enough money to complete the build Do you have a constitution strong enough to see you through both the highs and lows of building your own home Provided you understand your answers to these questions and can ‘fill the gaps’ when it comes to skills, knowledge, time and funding, then press ahead and enjoy what is probably going to be one of the most rewarding experiences that you will ever have in your lifetime!

Paint the doors black matt and the fames cream add silver crome door furniture. Huge silver mirror above the covered radiator then add a runner of any colour you like and match it with the lamps and lighting. hey presto done.

We are also a family of 5 so I feel your pain! We had a shoe cupboard made out of MDF with a veneer top, which doubles as a hallway console with lamps etc, and then lots of shelves underneath for all the trainers, school shoes etc.

I put two of these one above the other behind the door in our downstairs study, so not exactly in the hall but so close and not visible.

I put some carrebenas on the bottom to clip bags onto, and hangers for coats on the top one.

Scandinavian countries are so amazing at this - so practical as they all have such big coats and lots of boots. Very inspirational.
