A warm and space-effective hallway that’s full of character

Hallways can be hard to furnish as they are often narrow or unusually shaped. Maximise the area with flexible storage solutions that can fit into unused spaces like under a stairwell. Small creative details like hooks and trolleys can provide additional storage as well adding visual interest to the space.

A white PLATSA series of wardrobes and cabinets are strategically placed in height order underneath a stairwell.

Everything in its place

Strategically placed storage that fits snugly under your stairs or other awkward spaces keeps clutter out of sight. These cupboards have adjustable rails that both parents and kids can access. To add some personality, you can put decorations or storage baskets on top of the cabinets.

Designated shoe station

Create a special area by the door designed to get you out of the house with minimal fuss. Put hooks on the wall with easy access for kids and adults. A small bench means you can take a seat while putting on shoes, then use the space underneath for storing bags, shoes, and umbrellas when not in use.

Box it up for easy access

To keep your storage area clean and organised, use inserts and boxes inside your cupboards and wardrobes. These ones with a mesh front allow you to easily spot which shoes or other items are inside without having to get everything out first.

Quirky storage adds character

Have fun organising your stuff by bringing in interesting storage features, like hooks for your keys, inserts inside your cupboards, and storage baskets to put hats and gloves. This cute yellow trolley adds character to your hallway, as well as being an ideal place to store accessories and toys.

Next to a PLATSA cabinet and a VAMDRUP rug is a yellow RÅSKOG trolley containing balls, hats and clothes.

Extra seating for the kids

Maximise your space by creating a seating area on top of your storage cupboard. Convert a small unused space into a warm and cosy nook for the kids by putting a mattress and cushions on top of a low cupboard.

Put the floor into focus

The floor is often the first thing you see when entering a home. Make sure yours is welcoming by adding some warm details, like this handmade rug in soft wool for instant Scandinavian character. Or get creative and paint the floorboards in a fun pattern and colour like this chequered design in rust red.
