Corner hallways are considered an excellent choice for a narrow corridor or just a room with a small size. The disadvantages include the complexity and unusualness of their assembly, however, they are roomy, convenient to use. Due to this design, the full use of areas that remain usually unused is ensured. Most often, the corner hallways consist of a rather large corner cabinet, on one side of which there is an open hanger equipped with hooks, and on the other a chest of drawers with a mirror. Under one side is a special narrow box for storing shoes. Also next to the hanger is a design for hats. This kit is considered standard and the most popular, but in addition there is the opportunity to choose other designs. Photos of numerous corner hallways are available in large numbers below, so choosing the best option for a limited space is not difficult. An angular set is created, both right-handed and left-handed. The most convenient is the kit in which the cabinet is equipped with different rounded shelves. They are small in size and are intended for storing numerous small items. Choosing designs for a large family with children is recommended, in which the hooks for clothes are not too high for children to use.

Built-in halls are considered the best option for a limited-sized room. It occupies the smallest space of almost all types of sets of hallways. Its main part is a sliding wardrobe, installed in a niche in the room. The fact is that many developers of multi-storey residential buildings during the process of creating apartments pay attention to the organization of such numerous niches. Due to them, the rooms look quite nice and interesting, however, they do not give the opportunity to effectively arrange interior items in different rooms. Therefore, they are usually used as full-fledged multi-functional niches in which various furniture is installed. With this decision, only the facade is acquired, and the remaining parts of the structure are represented by the walls of the room. Different types of doors are chosen for such a set, but mirrored or glass look best. When using this design does not deal with a lot of free space in the hallway. Additional elements are installed on the sides of the cabinet for storing various small items.

Modular standard hallways consist of numerous modules, therefore, when buying a design, it is taken into account which of its elements are necessary to create a full and attractive space. In any corridor, furniture of this type will look attractive and interesting, and if necessary, it can be replaced by other different modules. Modern designs are compact and versatile, and with the help of different modules a variety of niches or ledges in the room are involved. Additionally, they have a low cost, therefore, are available to everyone. Mini hallways to the corridor are chosen most often, since this room usually has a small size. They can have various parameters and design. Most often they are represented by a small hanger equipped with hooks, next to which a narrow cabinet is installed, designed to store various small things and shoes. Also, a cabinet is often purchased, equipped with a mirror, mounted on a box, and next to it is installed either an open hanger or a standard floor hanger.

It’s not difficult to pick up a kit even for the smallest and most non-standard room, as modern manufacturers offer a really wide selection of different designs that have their own characteristics and sizes.

Materials of manufacture

The photo shows a huge number of different hallways. They differ in size, color and other parameters. However, from the photo it is impossible to understand what material the structures are made of. This parameter is considered one of the most important.

To create a hallway materials are used:

Particleboard - considered one of the most affordable materials for creating interior items. Designs from it are not durable, and also do not withstand significant loads. It is important before purchasing to make sure that they are safe to use for residential premises, since many manufacturers use different formaldehydes and other harmful or completely dangerous substances during their creation;
natural wood - from it really attractive and unique designs with significant value are obtained. They fit perfectly into different interior styles and have a long service life;
plastic - constructions from it are durable, easy to care for and inexpensive. They are available in many colors, but are not very suitable for classic or other sophisticated interior styles. They are considered simple and not very interesting, therefore they are chosen exclusively with a limited budget for the purchase;
MDF is a great choice for many buyers. Products from this material have an acceptable cost, are environmentally friendly and attractive. They serve a long time and are resistant to various influences.

Thus, furniture designed in a small corridor can be made of different materials. It is important to focus on the available funds, as well as on your own preferences.

Rules of arrangement taking into account the form of the room

For a small room, the choice of location of the main elements of the hallway is considered limited, since there is little space for installing furniture. However, depending on the shape and size of the room, the layouts are chosen:

This design looks attractive and interesting in any room, therefore, it is additionally guaranteed to receive not only multifunctional, but also a beautiful space. Different designs are mounted on the sides of the corner cabinet, for example, opening a hanger, a cabinet with a mirror or narrow cabinets with numerous shelves and drawers. All these elements are characterized by high capacity;
linear - it is considered a good choice for different types of long corridors. Suitable even if the room is extremely narrow, but in this case the furniture should have a shallow depth. It is assumed that different elements of the hallway are installed along one long wall of the room. It is advisable that they have a shallow depth, since only in this case a lot of space will be left for free movement along the corridor. The best choice is considered to be cabinets equipped with sliding doors, as well as sliding wardrobes, since using them will not require a lot of free space in front of them;
n shaped - suitable for square and fairly large rooms. It is intended to use interior items installed along three adjacent walls. Such a solution for the corridor is rarely used, but it is suitable if it is a large room, and it is also required to install a lot of different interior items with high capacity and versatility. Photos of such a finished distribution of furniture can be viewed below. With a competent layout of the elements, a truly comfortable and attractive space is guaranteed.

If the corridor is a small room equipped with different niches, then for it the purchase of various built-in furniture with high functionality and compactness is considered an excellent choice.If there are niches at all, their walls can be used as the walls of the cabinet, and the entrance is closed by some convenient wall. A good choice for absolutely any corridor is the use of special modular furniture.
