Corner hallway for the corridor: interior photos and ideas for compact spaces.

Features of choice

If the corridor is in the center of the apartment, uniting other rooms, and has a square shape, then the corner hallway is the best option. Also, the corner design is appropriate in a small hallway. Before choosing a model, you must:

• Measure the corridor, decide on the dimensions of the future product.
• Consider the layout: furniture should not interfere with free passage.
• Choose the filling of the hallway: exclude unnecessary elements or, conversely, add the necessary ones.

Sizes and shapes

The main purpose of the corner hallway is to store outerwear, hats and shoes. The design can be compact or occupy two walls from floor to ceiling: the choice depends on the needs of the residents, the area of the room and the budget. Modules can be combined with each other and complemented.

Corner element. It is a closed wardrobe or a shelf. It is suitable for storing clothes. Closed wardrobes can be built-in (without a back wall) or cabinet-type. A straight product is often equipped with a full-length mirror, allowing you to inspect your appearance before going outside. A semicircular – radius – model is more spacious and is usually made to order.

Wardrobe. A closed-type structure for a medium-sized hallway. In combination with a corner element, it is a full-fledged wardrobe with sliding doors. Usually includes a clothes rail, a compartment for shoes and hats, but you can choose the contents yourself.

Pedestal. A convenient element for storing shoes or other items. Often used as a seat.

Shoe rack. It is a special cabinet for shoes with folding or roll-out elements.

Open hanger. A version of a corner hallway, which has both pros and cons. An open hanger is inexpensive, but filled with jackets and coats looks less neat than a closed closet. It also takes up little space and remains empty during the warm season, which has a positive effect on the decor of the hallway.

Ideas for a small hallway

For a small room, furniture is selected depending on its size: if you only have a couple of square meters or one corner, you should buy an open hanger. There are many interesting ready-made options, but you can assemble a simple hanger yourself.

Small cabinets or ottomans are placed for small items, a large mirror is hung to expand the space. If there is no pantry in the apartment and its role is played by the hallway, a small corner wardrobe with mirrored facades will do, which will expand the space and increase the amount of light. Another good solution for a small hallway is doors made of transparent plastic.

In a narrow hallway, the depth of the wardrobe usually does not exceed 40 cm, which allows you to use the free space ergonomically. The height of the corner hallway can reach the ceiling: this way the space is used more rationally. A good way to visually hide furniture is to make it the same color as the walls.

The modern market allows you to buy a hallway that suits any interior style. Simple products made of natural materials will perfectly fit into the decor of a private house, as well as an apartment in Scandinavian and eco-style. “Corners” made of noble wood, decorated with carriage coupler and carved elements, will be appropriate in a classic style, and furniture with metal and glass details will suit a loft, art deco and contemporary.

Variants of hallways in a modern style

First of all, a modern style implies convenience, so the hallway is purchased functional and as spacious as possible. When decorating a corridor, a universal, laconic design without unnecessary decorations is chosen. Simple products made of durable wear-resistant materials are easy to keep clean, which is especially important in a walk-through room.

The fewer things you store in the hallway, the more impressive and stylish the decor will look. It is better to use the corner hallway for clothes that the inhabitants of the house are wearing at the moment, so as not to overload the room.
