5 Hallway Storage Ideas For Your Home

Styling a hallway can be one of the most challenging aspects of home interior design. For many guests, the hallway is the first room that makes an impression. Rather than viewing the hallway as merely a passageway, we suggest styling it in a way that is both elegant and functional, welcoming your guests with open arms. Here are some of our favourite ways  you can elevate your hallway using our clever storage solutions.

1. Use Console Tables To Create A Stylish Vignette

Console tables are prominent pieces of furniture that can define a room. These versatile items, often used for display, can create a stunning vignette when styled with a thoughtful blend of pattern, texture, height, and colour. 

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, console tables also offer practical storage solutions, helping you stay organised and keep your space free of clutter. Consider our Nordal Moss Black Mango Wood Console Table — a timeless piece featuring two drawers for everyday essentials and a shelf underneath perfect for coffee table books or storage boxes.

For those with a collection of travel souvenirs or decorative items to display, our Woood June Black Metal Console Table offers an elegant showcase. To maintain a stylish vignette while concealing everyday essentials in open shelving, we suggest using attractive storage options like our Tine K Home set of 2 nesting baskets.

2. Enhance Storage Potential

The hallway is the first room to make an impression, but it's also a magnet for everyone's things. You can keep your hallway stylish while keeping everyday items—such as house keys—close at hand. The Nordal Portland 8-Drawer Black Iron Console is a thoughtful piece of furniture. Balancing everyday life and aesthetics, this console table features 8 drawers, allowing a dedicated drawer for each family member. Many hallways are narrow, and this piece enables you to keep all your essentials on one wall. The console table's generous tabletop provides space to display decorative ornaments. 

Our Foy Browned Brass Oval Bowl and Muubs Bonbonniere Hazel Storage Pot - Brown Black perfectly complement the Portland Console Table, adding Danish and urban charm to your home and creating a luxurious feel.

3. Incorporate A Boot Room Bench

A boot room bench offers both seating and storage space. Our Mahi Brass & Tan Leather Bench features three open storage compartments which, when paired with stylish storage solutions like our Seagrass Tapered Storage Baskets/Planters, provide a convenient way to store everyday items. 

Consider adding a coat rack, such as our Ran Black Iron Coat Rack, alongside the bench to further enhance your hallway's functionality. With shoes, coats, and jackets within arm's reach, your morning routine will be seamless. This thoughtful arrangement not only adds practicality to your space but also contributes to a more organised and welcoming entrance to your home.

4. Utilise Multi Purpose Furniture

Our Dutchbone Lucius Iron Coat Rack with Shelf has everything you need to maximise your storage potential in your hallway. With an attractive industrial feel to it, this statement piece offers 11 coat hooks, 2 shelves for your shoes, and 2 storage boxes for your everyday things. This piece works best in narrow hallways, so you can keep all of your things along one run of wall. 

5. Embrace a Handy Shoe Rack

As life gets busier, making everyday life a bit easier can positively contribute to our mental well-being. Multifunctional and innovative furniture solutions can help us stay organised and allow us to de-stress, knowing everything has its place. Our Nordal Iron Shoe Rack with Black Shelves is an innovative piece that helps banish clutter by offering space for your shoes, umbrellas, and everyday items. It's the perfect piece for those with hectic mornings, offering peace of mind knowing everything is within arm's reach.

There are so many ways to utilise even those small, awkward spaces, getting the most out of your interiors! For more hallway storage inspiration, see our full selection of slim console tables.
