If any room needs plenty of easy-access storage, it’s the hall. Check out this roundup of smart ideas
There’s something so enticing about good storage – the way it transforms a corner of a room or blank wall into a refuge for kit and clobber; the way it helps a home run smoothly by keeping everything in its place. This was never truer than in the hall – it’s the first space you step into after opening the front door, after all. Check out these ideas for keeping clutter contained to make your entrance feel calm and welcoming.
Stay streamlined
How beautifully compact and clever is this space? It features a nifty piece of wall-hung storage that’s essentially just a simple, open-fronted box designed to perfectly fit a fold-up bike. Hanging it on the wall, rather than sitting it on the floor, increases the sense of roominess, too, which is beneficial in a small hallway.
There’s also a chair to perch on when taking off or putting on shoes, and simple pegs for coats and scarves – everything a hallway needs!

Exploit dead space
Installing a unit in a slice of unused space by the front door is a smart way to boost storage. Pegs on the back of the door provide somewhere to hang coats, so the storage can hold other outdoor kit and even the odd accessory.

Reflect on this
Mirrors brilliantly boost light levels and increase the feeling of space, so they are a match made in heaven with a hallway, which often lacks both those features. And just look how much storage is hiding behind these vast mirrored doors!
