It is far from always possible to put a full-fledged closet in a small hallway or corridor. But you have to leave your clothes somewhere. Then most often use wall hangers for the hallway. To them you can pick up a small shelf for shoes, a bench and a nightstand. Inexpensive, compact, functional.
Materials and constructions
Wall hangers for the hallway are made of three materials: wood, laminated chipboard, metal. Often there are combinations: the base is wooden or made of chipboard, and the hooks and slats are metal. Hooks can still be plastic, but they are usually present in the budget segment from chipboard.
If we talk about designs, then there are not very many of them. In the traditional version, this is a bar on which hooks are fixed. Planks can be placed vertically or horizontally. Vertical options allow you to visually increase the height of the ceiling, so they are most often bought in the hallways. But the horizontal ones are compact and can be located even in a small corridor.
Vertical
The body of the vertical wall hanger is either made of wood or chipboard. The length can be from 30-40 cm to 2 meters. The shape can be straight or curved, rounded.
Maybe it is from narrow lamellas, or maybe from a single piece of chipboard or several, intricately connected.
There are options with a built-in mirror. Pay attention to the width and the location of the mirror. It can be either on the right or on the left.
There are hangers upholstered in leather or leatherette. They look in the interiors of the classical direction.
Rarely found, but there are vertical models made of metal. Usually it is forging. They are, of course, very decorative – handmade, but they cost decently. But you can order from the master the option that suits you. Both in design and size.
If we talk about the functional part, and not just the external one, the presence of shelves in the upper part will not hurt. It is convenient to put hats on them. Also decide on the number of hooks. The more of them, the better, but if you really liked some model, and there are not enough hooks on it, you can install additional ones.
Before you go to the store, carefully measure the available space, decide on the maximum and minimum width. It would also be nice to have an idea of what height you want the case to be.
Horizontal
Horizontal hangers in the corridor or hallway are more compact. Visually, they “stretch” the wall in width, can be installed in a small wall or corner.
Their basis is a board of rectangular or more complex shape. Furniture chipboard is also used, there are metal and forged options. Some are closer to the classic style (most often wood), some are also suitable for a hallway in modern styles.
Forged hangers are a whole category. Different level of performance, different motifs and patterns. Beautiful.
