Probably, many of you have noticed how wonderful and clean the hallway is after the repair, but as soon as you leave your shoes in the hallway a couple of times, familiar chaos begins to reign in it. Understandably, stammering behind sneakers, boots, boots and sandals supposedly neatly attached to the wall, you begin to think about the futility of all efforts to restore order. To calm the nervous system, all you need is a shoe rack in the hallway. The narrow, compact model does not take up much space, on the contrary, with its appearance it may seem to you that the cramped corridor has somehow become wider and more spacious.
A neatly arranged favorite shoe will no longer collect dust and dirt, your adorable pets will not encroach on it (it is unlikely that a cat will think of climbing into the closet to mark sneakers). Narrow shoe racks, despite their almost modest size, can comfortably accommodate up to 36 pairs. Just need to find the right fit.
Manufacturers offer a variety of configurations of cabinets - with a mirror, with an ottoman, with drawers for small things. The latter are very, very useful. They keep brushes, jars and other shoe care accessories from crawling around the hallway.
Narrow shoe racks, equipped with a bench, will appeal to people suffering from back pain. Of course, you can put a chair for them next to the closet, but we decided not to litter the cramped room. Therefore, the built-in seat is much more practical. Such a device will be appreciated by pregnant women and mothers with small children who are tired of catching them around the apartment to put on their boots.
Models in which narrow shoe racks are complemented by a mirror visually expand the space. In this case, the mirror surface, as a rule, will reflect you in full growth. Even men like to check their irresistibility before going out.
Depending on the design, cabinets are open and closed. It is difficult to say which option is more practical. You choose. Shelves with an inclined mechanism are built into closed models. Sliding doors are not as common as swing doors, but again they save square centimeters. Open narrow shoe racks are equipped with drawers or niches, where your shoes are stored. Considering the finished samples, figure out - will high-top boots fit in the cabinet? It will be a shame if after the purchase it turns out that you poorly calculated the required depth of the locker.
As for the materials from which a shoe rack can be made - a narrow cabinet from an inexpensive segment is usually made from chipboard, MDF or chipboard. Externally, these productsdecorated with elm, oak, ash, maple. More expensive models are made from solid wood. Metal options are available. Combinations of wood and wicker boxes look unusual. There are also hanging canvas organizers.
Color, shape, texture, material - if you are purchasing a ready-made design, then focus on the nature of your hallway. Imagine how the new cabinet will fit into the interior. It should not become a foreign object that got to you by mistake.
