In order for your home to look beautiful and cozy, you need to choose the right furniture for it. The shoe cabinet is not the most important piece of furniture, and is usually thought about at the last minute. Homeowners are more interested in the design of upholstered furniture or kitchen units. Even curtains and tablecloths are much more interested than hallway furniture. And it’s completely in vain, because the entrance hall is the first room that guests see when they come to your house.
In order to properly distribute the space in the corridor, you need real talent and good organizational skills. After all, few people have an entrance hall of more than a few square meters, you will be lucky if it at least has a square shape. And what do you order the owners of long and narrow corridors to do? As it turned out, furniture manufacturers take into account all the possibilities, and today you can buy any custom-sized furniture.
Any, even the tiniest hallway should be equipped with at least two pieces of furniture: a closet with a hanger for outerwear or just a hanger and cabinet for shoes. The photo on the right showshow manufacturers combine these things: on top of the closet there are hooks for clothes and compartments for hats, and at the bottom there is a large and roomy drawer in which you can store shoes. However, the harsh truth of life suggests that one shoe box will obviously not be enough. Its spaciousness will satisfy only a single man who does not care about his appearance and therefore has no more than 3-4 pairs of shoes. If there is at least one woman in the house, or your family consists of more than one person, it's time to think about additional storage space. The cabinet for shoes is narrow, but at the same time quite roomy - ideal. It can be placed next to a wardrobe or in the space between the wall and the front door, its dimensions allow it to be done.
Narrow cabinet for shoes: design features
Narrow cabinets for shoes, in fact, are of two types: with horizontal shelves, as in a regular locker or chest of drawers, or slim. With the first, everything is clear - outwardly, such specimens are similar to traditional bedside tables, only they are necessarily made with ventilation holes, if the furniture is made with solid doors. Slims are much more interesting - the shelves in them are inclined at 45 ° or arranged vertically, so their reduced dimensions do not affect their capacity at all.
Besides, narrow cabinet for shoes can be made in closed or open type. You can argue ad infinitum which option is more preferable: someone does not like the sloppy rows of variegatedshoes that are open to everyone, someone, on the contrary, does not welcome a too strict and office look, in addition, guests are often embarrassed to put their shoes and boots into closed bedside tables on their own, rightly believing that only the owner has the right to open the doors of furniture. So this is an individual choice, however, it is worth noting that dust will always accumulate on open shelves.
One last thing: there are furniture for sale for people who really care about their things. This shoe cabinet is narrow, compact, with a built-in dryer and disinfecting UV lamps. Such furniture will ensure the safety of shoes, and it will no longer be threatened by high humidity, the appearance of fungus or an unpleasant odor.
