Such cabinets are simple but elegant. As an ornament, carving and light patterns can be used.

How to choose?

When buying, you should consider the size of the hallway and the place itself, which you are ready to allocate for the cabinet, its shape and area. An important point is the internal filling of the product. Think over what exactly you will keep in the closet, which compartments (shelves, slats for hangers, etc.) will be useful to you.

By choosing a design and color, focus on the style of the interior room. Remember that if you make mirrored all the doors, then the effect of expanding the space will be more ambitious. However, it is worth considering that the mirrors reflect all the furnishings.

If the wall opposite the cabinet is filled with various furniture, boxes and other things, you risk instead of the effect of a spacious room to get the impression of a small cluttered hallway.

Location options

If the corridor has a narrow elongated shape, it is better to put the cabinet along the short wall. In a square hallway the best option would be to place the cabinet along the entire wall. If the doors of many rooms go out into the corridor, only a small narrow locker will be appropriate here. The most successful place for him will be the zone at the entrance door.

Examples in the interior

The original model with the image of the Eiffel Tower is an excellent choice for a modern hallway. Red elements add spice to the product, making it a highlight of the room.

The built-in wardrobe with gold leaf and floral patterns fits perfectly into the luxurious baroque interior. Decorative frame masks the product under the big picture, creating a single composition with the decor of the room.

For lovers of discreet elegance, the classic walnut-colored wardrobe is an excellent choice. A small mirror ensures that the image is perfect before leaving the house. An open coat hanger is a practical and convenient item.

The built-in model, completely made of mirror cloth, visually enlarges the hall twice. This is facilitated by a sleek interior and the absence of unnecessary details on the opposite wall.
