IKEA Tenerife - Storage ideas for a small, smart and stylish hallway

Storage in a small hallway can be a challenge, especially if you’d like it to be a tidy, welcoming space with a bit of stylish finesse. Here are some ideas proving that functional and pretty – with quite a bit of smartness too – is no impossible equation.

Two-in-one mirror

A mirror for checking yourself before you head out is always helpful. Why not let it carry a bit of your storage load as well? This little beauty is just as perfect for emptying your pockets as for makeup and styling stuff.

The classic hat rack

Even if you don’t have many hats, a hat rack with hooks and a rail can be a good choice for efficient clothes storage. Combine it with a matching shelf over the door and you get even more space for storing things in boxes – all the way to the ceiling if you like.

Step up your storage game

Maximizing storage in a small space is all about using the height of the room. Reaching everything is as easy as getting a sturdy stepladder. This one is foldable, so when you’re not using it, you can squeeze it in where it’s out of the way or hang it on a hook.

Shoes be gone

Few things can clean up a hallway for a more elegant impression than shoe cabinets can. Since they mostly take up wall space it’s easy fitting a pair of them into your space. This classic design is a nice look, but there are also more modern styles to choose between.

More than meets the eye

A large wall mirror is a proven trick to make a small space feel bigger. Mounting it on hinges lets you use it at different angles – and with a few hooks behind it you can even get some hidden storage. Just make sure to use shallow hooks.
