Kid-friendly hallway ideas that work for all ages

Unfortunately, rooms don’t automatically grow at the same speed as the family does, so making the most of any space is a must. That is especially important in the hallway where everybody is coming and going at all times.

Age and height matters!

You can’t expect little ones to put up their coats if all the hooks and hangers are way out of their reach. Instead, make sure that everyone in the family has their own designated place for both shoes, jackets and accessories. Together the RAGGBERG bench with shoe storage and coat rack with shelf provide a solution for everyone and everything. They’re made of solid pine which makes them both natural, durable and easy to personalize with paint!

All grown up

RAGGBERG coat racks work as well on the grown-up’s side of the hallway, just a little higher up on the wall. Below them are matching RAST chest of drawers, with a compact format suitable for narrow spaces. Both of these storage heroes are made of solid pine that can be sanded, oiled, lacquered, stained or painted, to suit any wish.

Every little wall helps out

A narrow wall surrounded by doors might very well be left with no other purpose than just standing there. What a waste! Let’s use it for hidden shoe storage, decorations, keys and the family note board.

A creative use of a corner

Someone might say that it’s against the rules to have a desk for studies and creativity in the hallway. If so, let’s break the rules! Any extra space or empty wall is a possibility for creative use. It might not be what you expect in a hallway, but it sure makes it a happy looking place.
