Hallway Closet

Designing a small entryway can be a challenge, but the right layout, a touch of creativity, and a perfectly chosen entryway closet can work wonders. If you combine all these elements, you can be sure that your small entryway will become a practical, functional, and aesthetically pleasing space that welcomes you the moment you step through the door.

Some people say that a small hallway It should definitely be decorated in light colors, because they make the space appear brighter and larger. That’s a good idea, but darker colors are currently in style—black, graphite, shades of gray, and the textures of wood, stone, or concrete. Does that mean a small entryway is doomed to be out of style? Not at all. After all, you can create a combination of light and dark walls and, against that backdrop, place a modern wardrobe for the entryway, whose design combines black with the light color of wood. When choosing furniture for the entryway Don’t forget about a mirror, either—the bigger it is, the better, because glass panels reflect light beautifully and make the room look much larger. Ideally, it should be a wall-mounted mirror or one that covers the front of a piece of furniture. We definitely do not recommend freestanding mirrors, as they just take up unnecessary space.

The key to successfully furnishing a small entryway is to use the available space as efficiently as possible. And it’s not just about choosing the right entryway storage solution, but also about minimizing unnecessary items and ensuring the room looks aesthetically pleasing. In a small entryway, less is more. That’s why you should choose only the essential pieces from an entryway furniture set and avoid making the space feel cluttered. Also, make sure to set aside space for various small items—keys, mail, and your car key card. These will help you keep things organized. Remember, the fewer items you have, the more spacious the room will feel.

Lighting also plays an important role in designing a small entryway. In a compact space, it’s best to avoid large pendant lights and instead opt for recessed lighting, such as trendy tube-shaped fixtures. LED lighting on the fronts of furniture is also a great solution, as it highlights the aesthetic appeal of the entire hallway closet design.

What kind of furniture should you choose for a small entryway?

The key to choosing a hallway wardrobe is one word: functionality. Hallway furniture must meet specific needs, such as storing shoes, jackets, hats, and handbags. That’s why the foundation is a closet that can hold outerwear, scarves, gloves, and guests’ clothing. It’s best to match the size of the closet to the dimensions of the entryway. And while it’s true that the larger the closet, the better, it’s worth noting that compact closets also offer plenty of possibilities.

But a well-chosen hallway closet should also help with daily activities—for example, by making it easy to put on shoes while sitting down or to dress a small child. We often forget how important it is to be able to sit in the entryway, especially if there are elderly people or preschool- and early-school-aged children living in the home. In such situations, a comfortable and functional entryway closet with a seat will be a priority.

A great solution is a hallway wardrobe that combines various functions, such as a bench with an upholstered seat that has a storage compartment inside, or a wardrobe with a pull-out clothes rod. A practical hallway furniture set is also one that allows you to store various items in different ways—for example, a wardrobe with a seat and a shoe cabinet, or a chest of drawers with deep shelves. Any clever storage compartments and hidden storage spaces are worth their weight in gold. And panels with coat hooks will come in handy for hanging your most frequently used jackets, coats, and handbags.

When planning a closet for the entryway, don’t forget to include a tall mirror. After all, this is where we take one last look at ourselves to check our appearance before leaving the house. A closet with a mirror is a must-have for every entryway.

What about the design of a hallway closet? Just like with other small spaces, the best solution is a modern hallway closet in a subtle and minimalist style. Simple shapes and timeless colors like black, white, and natural wood tones are always a tried-and-true combination.

A loft-style hallway closet

The loft style is currently one of the most popular choices for decorating modern homes and apartments. We decorate our living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens—and even our teens’ rooms—in a loft style. So it’s no surprise that we also want to design our entryway or hallway in a similar style, especially when this space flows seamlessly into the rest of the apartment.

The QUANT loft-style hallway wardrobe is characterized by its minimalist design and lack of unnecessary details. The fronts are smooth and handle-free, and the push-to-open system allows them to open and close effortlessly. The simple, slender shapes look stunning paired with the Artisan Oak finish, which mimics natural wood. Loft-style interiors favor furniture on legs, especially when they resemble geometric, black supports, as is the case with the QUANT entryway wardrobe. Metal shelves and clothing hangers are the perfect complement to loft-style hallway furniture.
Loft-inspired design also emphasizes a subtle interplay of light. The hallway wardrobe from the QUANT collection features exterior lighting on the fronts that highlights selected details and creates a cozy atmosphere inside.

The QUANT loft-style bedroom furniture set includes a very spacious chest of drawers with six deep drawers, large enough to hold both partners’ personal items. The rest of your wardrobe will fit in the huge closet. The collection includes two loft-style bedroom wardrobes—a smaller one with sliding doors and a larger one with classic hinged doors. This allows everyone to choose the perfect wardrobe—a larger one for spacious rooms or a compact one for small bedrooms. Both wardrobes are equipped with two hanging rods and two vertical sections with shelves, and at the top there are additional, very spacious shelves for larger or less frequently used items. Both wardrobes feature large mirrors on the fronts, allowing you to easily see your entire reflection.
