All natural family hallway ideas

A family hallway with that brings together natural wood, grey stain and smart storage. All together they sing the sweet melody we call “Welcome home!”

A touch of outside inside

Let some handpicked samples of the nature outside greet you when you come inside, with plants of all sizes. The tiniest ones are still in growth inside ÅKERBÄR greenhouse on the sunny windowsill. Apart from the natural benefit of those plants adding a welcoming look and feel, the hallway is a perfect place for plant cultivation since it’s planned to endure some dirt anyway. Let your hallway bloom!

No need to step gently

Why settle for just one? The more rugs the better protection for the floor underneath. Place some smaller extra rugs where they are most needed, to make it easy to shake the dirt off them without having to move the bigger rugs underneath every time. It’s practical – but it also looks great!

The luxury of an extra square meter

An extra square meter usually doesn’t make much difference, but oh boy what a treasure it is when it’s placed and planned to be a pantry. Just put a sturdy IVAR in there and find out why that storage system has been a favourite for more than 50 years. In no time you’ll have a place for both recycling, groceries, dog food, the family schedule or whatever you need to hide away behind a nice-looking curtain. On the wall next to it, hooks on different heights suit the belongings of family members of all different heights too.

Don’t open the wardrobe doors!

Unless, of course, you need to grab something from inside it. The interior of that wardrobe is customized to perfectly fit all those bulky, seasonal or seldom used things that would make a complete mess of the hallway if they were let loose. Now they’re quietly hiding behind those doors that add to the traditional and neat look of the hallway.
