Shoe cabinets. Narrow shoe racks in the hallway - the best solution for small corridors

Wars for order in the hallway are most often caused by fallen shoes. Each of the family members usually has more than one pair, which leads to problems. A shoe rack in the hallway can solve the problem. They are of different types and types, so there is plenty to choose from.

Types of furniture for storing shoes

Shoe storage is a perennial problem. The hallways are usually not as spacious as we would like, so everything should be placed compactly, but so that access is free. Shoe racks of various types and types help to cope with the task. If you try to give a definition, then we can say that a shoe rack is an open or closed shelf for shoes. Closed ones are called a shoe chest or cabinet, open ones are called a “shelf” or “stand”. If the design is not specified, the generalizing concept of "shoe rack" is used.

The closed shoe storage system can be made in different ways. All models can be divided into several groups:


Such furniture for storing shoes is called a chest of drawers or (locker) for shoes. There is no clear division. Everyone uses the name that he likes best.

closed models

Closed models of shoe racks are called a closet or chest of drawers for shoes. They vary in size. Height - from 50 cm to 220 cm, width - from 30 to 120 cm, depth - from 17 to 55 cm. Next, consider how high a shoe rack can be in the hallway. It is this factor that is considered in the first place.

Closets or chests of drawers for shoes - this is the name of closed-type galoshes

Low

Low galoshes are made up to 50-55 cm high. They usually have only one shelf on which one person's seasonal shoes can be placed. And then, if he is not very fond of buying new shoes / sandals / boots. Occasionally, two low shelves are made in a low shoe rack. Normally, you can only arrange summer or autumn shoes without heels. Boots and even shoes on such shelves will no longer stand. Unless you put them sideways.

Deep down they can be small

The advantage of a low chest of drawers for shoes can be a seat. That is, in your hallway there is not just a bench / bench for shoes, but furniture for shoes with a seat. Rational use of all available space - that's what this option gives.

medium height

With a height of 60 to 120 cm, the shelves are already enough to accommodate the shoes of a family of 3-4 people. In this segment, there are chests of drawers for shoes with open shelves, which are placed on the sides of the shoe shelves. Most often, there is a long and narrow section - for storing an umbrella. Ladies can adapt this section for high boots.

There are different styles, you can choose for any interior

There are models of chests of drawers for shoes in the upper part of which there is a shelf for small things, there are also drawers for storing gloves, keys, etc. For the rational use of space, above the shoe cabinet, you can either.

Tall shoe cabinets

Perhaps the most interesting category. It makes sense to take these shoe racks in the hallway the same height as the closet (if there is one in your hallway). Although not all shelves can be easily reached, but on the top you can remove off-season or weekend shoes. In addition to traditional shoe cabinets with hinged doors, there is a narrow shoe cabinet with retractable shelves. This option is good if you have a small distance - 30-40 cm - between, say, a closet and a wall. It is in such niches that you can put such narrow and deep shoe cabinets. They are also called "shoe cases".

A shoe cabinet of small width is called a "pencil case"

A closed shoe rack in the hallway is good because the doors reliably hide order or mess. The second positive point is aesthetic. Many people like these models more than open shelves. There are closed models and cons. The first is that shoes dry longer in them, the second is that their price is higher, since more material is required.

Shoe cabinets in the hallway open type

The design of a shoe rack in an open corridor is simple: two sidewalls to which shelves are attached. In height, they are usually either low - up to 50 cm high, or medium in height - up to a meter. High ones are extremely rare. In this category, there are also several typical models:

  • Standard shoe rack. Height - up to 80 cm, width - from 50 cm, depth - from 35 cm, otherwise men's shoes of large size do not fit into it. A simple shoe rack has two to five shelves, depending on the height. Some models have closed shelves on the side. They can be used both for storing shoes and for other things.

    Shelves for shoes are one of the most practical options. The downside is that dust settles on shoes ... well, that you have to maintain order

  • Shelf for shoes with a seat. The height of this furniture for storing shoes is small - in the region of 50-60 cm. Otherwise, it is uncomfortable to sit. Their width starts from 60 cm, depth - from 40 cm. When buying such a model, pay attention to the strength of the frame: it can withstand the weight of a seated person.

    If the shoe rack is divided into cells, make sure that they are rectangular - square ones are inconvenient ... The cheapest are plastic shoe racks

They can be made of wood, metal, or a combination of these materials. If we talk about the choice of material, then it makes sense to select the furniture that is already in your hallway. If you cannot find the same material or color, look for a close one. Simple metal models look neutral. Such a shoe rack will fit into the hallway of any style.

Shelves for shoes made of wood, or MDF, look more interesting. Even a simple wooden shelf can look good. She wins due to the texture of wood. It doesn't have to be hidden behind a door.

There are also open shoe racks, which are called racks or shoe stands. They do not have shelves - blades are made of wire or plastic, on which shoes are put on. A very convenient and compact way to store summer and autumn shoes. Such shoes fit up to 36 pairs in a small space. There is a special model for "installing" boots. The number of pairs is less, but the problem with creases in the tops has been solved. Decent decision.

It is difficult to somehow name such structures. The most appropriate name is a rack or hanger))

They look good and are divided from chipboard and MDF. They are usually laminated with wood-like films, which gives them solidity. There may be a couple of closed ones next to an open shelf. This option is not bad: you can store in the open those pairs that are now in the sock, in the closed ones, those that are rarely worn or until the time has come for them.

What materials are they made from

Shoes in the hallway are made from the following materials:


All these varieties can have different shelves. The usual solid ones - plastic, chipboard, MDF - are not very convenient. Dust and dirt accumulate on them, they impede the movement of air, which makes the shoes dry worse. The best option is from a metal wire or several pipes / pins on which shoes are placed.

It is convenient if the distance between the shelves and / or their number can be changed. For the summer, you can put it more often, for the winter - remove a couple of shelves - you need long distances under boots and boots.

Pull-out shelves are a great idea ... the main thing is to implement it

Shelves can also be not only stationary, but also retractable, which is also very convenient. Especially if the shoe rack for the hallway has a great depth. It is necessary to get to the last row of shoes - they put forward a shelf. And do not bend down, look while standing in an uncomfortable position.

Unusual and non-standard models

For the most part, a shoe rack for the hallway is furniture that is placed on the floor. But there are several varieties that are hung on vertical surfaces: walls, doors. For example, the PitStop wall-mounted shoe rack. The shelves in it are folding, each is divided into three cells. One shelf, two drawers. If desired, they can be hung one above the other or placed horizontally.

There is a wire shoe rack that can be hung on any vertical surface. It can be the same wall, closet door, pantry, dressing room, etc. They make a great shoe organizer. They are, of course, more expensive, but it is more convenient to use them, the shoes do not wrinkle so much and keep their shape better. A couple of these options can be seen in the photo below.

Hanging shelves for shoes can be placed in a narrow space, between the wall and the cabinet, on the side of the cabinet. This will help organize the space of a small hallway.

Rotating models

From non-standard models, one can still recall racks and rotating shelves. If there are a lot of shoes, there is not much space for placing them, but there is a free corner, you can install a rack with rotating shelves. The corners are hard to fully exploit, and the rotating shelf will fit perfectly there. And it fits a lot of shoes.

A rotating shoe rack is a good idea for optimal use of floor space.

For small hallways in small apartments, there is an even more interesting option: a combined hallway with a shelf for shoes. This piece of furniture is double sided. On the one hand - hangers for clothes, on the other - shelves for shoes. The whole structure rotates around its own axis. You need to hang up your coat - turn it to the side with the hooks. you need to put your shoes on - they turned the shelves towards you.

Such furniture can probably be placed in the corner. Takes up little space. Actually, it's an interesting idea. Although, you can also find a shoe rack with a hanger or a mirror. But they are stationary and do not use space as efficiently.

Shoe rack in the hallway: photos of interesting models

There are several models that are difficult to attribute to any class. Interesting idea, shape, material. We will post them in this section. Maybe this is where your shoebox is waiting for you in the hallway.

Such a design can be installed behind the door if there is no place for it in the corridor itself. Its width does not exceed half a meter, so the usable area will be saved

What role does the hallway play in the home?

The living space that begins behind the front door creates the overall impression of the house. It protects housing from street dirt and serves to store outerwear. The intensity of the load per square meter is increasing here. Outerwear, shoes and boots are left in the room, in which they walk along the street. In order for things to remain in good condition and serve their owners longer, it is necessary to properly maintain them during use. Such a room will be more attractive if it is equipped accordingly. This does not require large financial outlays. It is enough to purchase a functional shoe rack of a suitable size. Modern design helps to create a stylish atmosphere in the room adjacent to the front doors.

Such furniture is characterized by:

  • spaciousness;
  • ergonomics;
  • working surfaces;
  • variety of design;
  • acceptable price.

Tip: if furniture for shoes is required in a hallway with limited space, then you should purchase a narrow shoe cabinet. She will help organize the storage of shoes and ensure order at the entrance.

The shallow module is suitable for installation anywhere in the corridor. He will be able to perform the function of a cabinet, standing in front of a mirror in a conspicuous place, or it can fit behind the door. The choice of location depends on the features of the layout of the room. With its help, you can make the space adjacent to the front door cozy and beautiful. A variety of choices expands the possibilities of interior design.

Design features

The shoe rack is distinguished by a convenient shape that rationally organizes the living space at the entrance. By choosing a suitable shoe cabinet, each homeowner will provide decent storage for women's and men's shoes, slippers and children's sandals. Shoe racks use vertical planes, due to which it is possible to save usable space and rationally place shoe pairs used for seasonal wear.

These are narrow models with shelves made of MDF or metal mesh, on which even high-top boots are placed without problems. The structure is either open or closed. The choice depends on the layout of the room and the number of people living in the house.

Each type has pros and cons. The advantage of shoe racks without doors is that shoes dry faster in them. But they are not suitable for families with dogs. Pets spoil expensive purchases, having free access to the shelves.

Closed cabinets protect things from dust and from pets. Such furniture allows you to create order in the apartment. The only drawback of closed models is the need to clean boots and boots every time before putting it in a closed closet. If this is not done, the shoe rack will lose its attractive appearance, and the shoes themselves will quickly wear out.

Shoes with additional features

There is a group of small-sized shoe racks that are specially designed for apartments with narrow fronts. They have a width of up to 18 cm and are easily placed in a corridor with a small area. The disadvantage of shallow shoe racks is the impossibility of storing boots in them.

It is more rational to purchase racks in the front with a width of at least 40 cm. In such a furniture product, boots and boots will be better ventilated and dry. Narrow samples are taller, which increases their capacity.

Important! The shoe rack needs constant care. Dust and dirt accumulate in the hallway, which are brought in from the street. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly clean it from contaminants.

Modular systems differ in design, color and content. The cabinet "Bona" is equipped with hinged doors, mesh shelves and drawers. It looks like a showcase in which you can place shoes, boots and slippers of family members. Mesh shelves provide ventilation and safety of shoes and sneakers.

How to make the right choice?

In most cases, a shoe rack in the hallway is purchased already at the final stage of the repair.

Particular attention should be paid to the overall dimensions so that the shoe rack can ideally fit in all respects relative to the common room.

For a large family, it is better to purchase a narrow cabinet, approximately the same plan as shown in the photo of the shoe rack in the hallway, for example, for storing seasonal shoes. See more information about hallways.

It is better if you purchase a fairly spacious closet with additional built-in drawers available. If possible, you can purchase a shoe rack with a seat in the hallway so that you can change shoes without any difficulties.

Configuration Features

Depending on the design, such furniture can be divided into certain types:

  • open type;
  • closed type;
  • slim;
  • shoe cabinet-cabinet - combining a shoe box with other different modules;
  • shoe dryer;
  • rack - great for numerous shoes, and it can be both open and closed.

The most common is the open version. The main advantages include: a ventilation system, the absence of a possible unpleasant odor and fungus.

However, in addition to the advantages, there are also certain negative qualities, for example, the accumulation of dirt on the surface of the shoes, since such shoe racks in the hallway are low in structure.

The closed variety has the appearance of a cabinet with shelves or cabinets with doors. This option is preferred by those who have pets, as this variety can help keep shoes safe and sound from external damage.

Another quite unusual option for a shoe rack is slim. This is a kind of high, narrow and elongated furniture, which is perfect for a small and not very spacious hallway.

The main disadvantages of such structures include instability, in contrast to the wall-mounted shoe cabinet in the hallway, and the lack of a special compartment for storing shoe care products.

shoe cabinet materials

To create furniture, first of all, the individual needs of customers, as well as the economic component and the duration of operation, are taken into account.

Especially popular are metal shoe racks in the hallway, which are distinguished by their strength and durability.

There are a huge number of different furniture factories, the most popular of which is Ikea. The shoe rack in the hallway made by this customer is able to exceed any expectations and satisfy all needs.

Color Features

The choice of stand is carried out taking into account the overall style decision and color preferences. So, for example, a wooden box can be easily painted in the required color.

The easiest way to decide on a color is if the walls have a neutral shade, and other pieces of furniture are simply absent.

A good solution would be to use narrow and tall cabinet options.

If the shoe rack has a shade of "oak" or "beech", then it is better to paint the wall in light colors, and the furniture should be purchased in shades of "cherry" or "alder".

DIY shoe rack

Furniture, created independently, always compares favorably with standard interior items. However, it is better to refuse such an option when creating a high-tech, oriental or baroque style. But in country houses they will be more useful than ever.

The most suitable options are:

  • drawer-rack - have side shelves-beams;
  • pallet - pre-varnished, while the shoes are stored in special slots;
  • organizer - a summer version in the form of so-called pockets.

Whatever the shoe rack, the presence of even the most ordinary makes it possible to give the room coziness and harmony.
