Easy hallway closet ideas

Stepping into a calm, organized hallway doesn’t have to be a dream. If yours feels neglected or you’re just not sure what to do with this busy space, here are our suggestions to help keep things running smoothly whether you’re heading out or coming home at the end of a long day.

Hide your closet behind curtains

If you have a nook or alcove in your hallway, use a curtain to create a closet. Simply add shelving and hanging rails you need and hang the curtain across the nook with a curtain rail. It’s a smart style refresh, that, as well as being pretty simple, adds a cozy touch – always a winner in our book!

Create a closet with a door

Of course, you could always add a sliding door to turn your nook into a closet. Choose one that enhances the existing style or sets a new look for your hallway. It’s the perfect place to keep all your outdoor essentials hidden away – or to store those bulky belongings you don’t know what else to do with.

Take your cabinets higher

If you’ve got high ceilings and not much floor space, look up! Make the most of vertical space with our flexible storage options like the PAX system. They’ll help expand your storage horizons, giving you lots of new ways to create handy homes for things like seasonal coats and things you only occasionally use.

Always in view

See-through or open storage is a good option if space is limited. It keeps the look airy and the feel spacious. Choose to go all out with a full display or keep some of your stuff slightly covered (but not hidden) – either way, having things in sight reduces search time when you’re ready to go out.

Small hallway equals spacious closet!

Is your hallway too small for its own closet? Then turn it into the closet! Find some handy storage accessories like a shoe bench, a coat rack and a trolley on wheels to open lots of possibilities for keeping daily necessities just where you need them. Finish the look with a bold colour and quirky accessories for a welcoming space brimming with fun.
