The hallmark of the house is the hallway. At one time I thoughtlessly approached its arrangement, and now I regret that I did not take into account several important points at once. Today I will share recommendations for arrangement and show how beautiful and stylish a hallway can look with furniture from IKEA.

Color spectrum
The most popular colors used in the interior of Ikea hallways are light colors such as milky, white and light gray. This is due to the fact that white furniture makes the room brighter, enlarges it visually, and the hallway seems spacious and cozy. In addition, dark furniture is no less popular. It is more practical and easy to use.
For those who have small children at home, dark furniture will be more profitable to use than light furniture, since it is not so easily soiled.
Dark products look expensive and majestic. Ikea also offers furniture in natural wood colors for those who love sophisticated furniture. The company considers the main thing in the interior of hallways to be ease of use, proper distribution of space and a harmonious combination of colors.
For those who cannot choose the combination of furniture with the interior of the room themselves, you can find ready-made options in Ikea brand stores, as well as look on the Internet.
Advantages of choosing a manufacturer
It is, of course, better to purchase furniture and various home accessories from trusted manufacturers and suppliers. One of the well-known companies is IKEA.
The advantages of choosing this company include:
- Guaranteed quality of the supplied goods.
- A wide range of mirrors, different in shape, size, frame design, model and cost.
- One of the most significant aspects is the availability of both paper and electronic catalogs of IKEA mirrors.
- When purchasing a particular mirror model, each client receives detailed assembly instructions, as well as advice on operation and care.
Thanks to the developments of designers, the range of accessories available for purchase is constantly updated. In IKEA stores, every buyer will find profitable products at reasonable prices.
Peculiarities
Ikea has been around since 1926 and has been in business for over 90 years. During its existence, the organization grew and developed. Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of the company, sold matches to neighbors at the age of five, and 20 years later he founded a furniture company and called it Ikea.
Today the company has a representative office in more than forty different countries. Almost every second person in the world knows about this brand.
The main feature of the company is its goal, which is to ensure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to purchase comfortable and beautiful furniture from Ikea. Therefore, the company offers very low prices for products, which do not in any way affect their quality.
Not only Ikea employees, but also the customers themselves participate in reducing the price of products. The company sells many products in unassembled form.
The buyer assembles the purchased products himself, saving on the purchase price.
In addition, another feature of the company’s products is a large assortment of various types of products, selected for each room, be it the kitchen, living room or bedroom. So, for hallways, Ikea provides a wide selection of different interior options, made in different designs and styles.
Popular models of shoe racks from Ikea
Currently, the manufacturer Ikea sells the following models of shoe racks:
- Thrones.
- Bissa.
- Stell.
- Bundis.
- Hemnes and others.
Note! If shoes need to be hidden for a short period of time, it is enough to use shoe organizers or baskets. However, storing shoes in boxes was recently invented. You can store several pairs at the same time in one box, but use solid inserts that will keep the shape of the shoes.
Designers do not adhere to strict rules on what exactly a shoe rack should be. It is convenient to place a special tray under it. Thanks to it, you don’t have to constantly wash the floor under the furniture, but just rinse the tray from time to time.
The surface of Ikea shoe racks is easy to clean from dirt that remains on shoes in the autumn or spring seasons.
When buying a modern shoe rack from Ikea, you can be sure of its good quality and durability. And the affordable price attracts the attention of many buyers.
Thanks to the correct location and lighting in the hallway, furniture can become the brightest element of the interior.
Furnishing ideas
Here's the problem: you need to fit everything in a tiny hallway. Where to “lean” an umbrella, pouf, put away keys and hats? Calm down, gentlemen. There are many passages, thanks to which the hallway turns into a stylish and comfortable one:
For example, the authors came up with special multi-colored mini wall hangers for gloves and keys.
And hooks for outerwear, stylized as wood, perfectly solve the problem of arranging clothes for a large family of different ages.
A practical salvation for a cramped hallway is an open hanger connected to shelves for hats and shoes. Adherents of eco-style will love the hanger rack in the shape of a tree. This is also perceived as an element of corridor decoration.
Don't forget to solve children's problems. Choose low cabinets and hooks on the hanger for your children to suit their height. The company's assortment includes all these items.
An umbrella stand is ready to become a cute decoration find. It is modern, convenient, does not take up much space and allows you to take many umbrellas at once, as well as dry them properly after rain.
Items you can't do without
The interior of the corridor, if you make decisions and make the right design project, will become an organized space.
When there's no place in the room to put your keys, shoes won't fit on the shelf, and the kid's bike is blocking the exit, serious modifications are needed.
The hallway should not only have IKEA cabinets; the standard set also includes other pieces of furniture:
- Shelves
- Hangers
- Stool or small bench
- Shoe maker
- Chest of drawers when usable space allows
- Mirror
- Lighting
Dressing table with mirror
A similar accessory from IKEA is a very interesting furniture option for the bedroom. The mirror plate is located along the upper contour of the dressing table and can consist of several mirrors (like a boudoir or dressing table).
Often, such designs are additionally equipped with an organizer that allows you to store personal hygiene items, makeup and skin care kits. A dressing table with a mirror is an example of a successful layout in a small apartment.
Mirror with built-in lighting
An original find for any fashionista is the purchase of a mirror (floor, hanging) with built-in spotlights. Modular lamps of small diameter are mounted into the frame along the contour of the mirror, and therefore create an interesting visual effect. This mirror can be used when there is a lack of lighting (artificial or natural) in the apartment.
Side tables and poufs
Poufs are very convenient because you can put your purchases on them after shopping, and they can also act as a bench where you can simply sit down to change your shoes. They do not take up much space in the room and are very useful to use. Pouf from Ikea can have different designs and shapes.
The most famous of them is a rectangular pouf with four graceful legs, as well as a model that has no legs and is made in the shape of a cube.
- Nightstands are used to store things and various small items.
- For those who do not need a large closet, part of it can be easily replaced with a cabinet and a clothes hanger.
- The cabinet may have four legs or wheels instead.
- A cabinet with wheels is convenient because it can be easily moved.
