A narrow hallway left only a shallow strip of wall, and the family needed somewhere for coats, shoes and school bags by the front door.
What we built
- Coat hanging in a shallow section, deep enough for coats but not so deep that it blocks the hall.
- Pull-out shoe trays with a raised front lip, so shoes stay put when the tray slides out.
- A low shoe bench to sit on while putting shoes on, with shoe racks inside.
- A wall-hung cupboard above the bench for hats, gloves and the things that would otherwise end up on the stairs.
Keeping everything shallow mattered more than anything else here: the hallway still has room to walk past with the front door open. Hanging the top cupboard on the wall leaves space to sit on the bench beneath it.
Sample project on the Closetforge demo site. The pictures are 3D renders of the design, not photographs of a fitted wardrobe.
