Kinds

When choosing the option of mirrored wardrobes in the hallway, it is important to familiarize yourself with its most popular types. Then determine the current model will be much easier.

Narrow and wide

For narrow type corridors, narrow cabinets with mirrors are often selected, which do not take up much space, but provide reliable storage for various human things. If you think carefully about filling a narrow design, then, despite its compactness, it will be very practical and functional. For example, a narrow cabinet with doors for storing umbrellas and shoes is optimal. At the same time, the mirror surface of the door of such furniture visually expand the narrow space, add freedom to it, increase the degree of illumination of the room.

If the entrance group has a square shape, is quite spacious, then you can organize a wide wardrobe here, which can accommodate a fairly large amount of things from a person’s personal wardrobe, as well as important devices that are nowhere to be stored in the apartment (ironing board, dumbbells, camping tent forest and so on). Such furniture will allow not to force other rooms in the house with excess furniture or items that are relevant in everyday life.

To determine what size locker suits you in the corridor, be sure to take measurements. You will need to do this using a measuring tape.

Recessed

An excellent solution for a small entrance group with a niche is a built-in wardrobe with a mirror. A model with sandblasted drawings is selected most often today, because it allows you to rationally solve the issue of storing things in a small area, it looks unique, expensive.

The only drawback of the built-in furniture is the need to make it to order according to the individual parameters of the specific space where it will be mounted. And it takes some time. You can’t just buy a model with similar dimensions, you will have to wait some time for the manufacturer to create a cabinet that fits perfectly into a particular corridor.

Note that if there is a niche, you can save on the walls of the cabinet, the walls will play their role. It is enough to order compartment doors and storage systems for things and shoes, install everything in place and use the designs for your pleasure. A variety of door decor techniques will help to enhance the decorative properties of built-in furniture: sandblasting, decorative film, and so on.

Angular

Corner cabinets in the corridor look very advantageous if there is a free corner where such furniture can be placed. A similar model is shown in the interior in the photo. These are roomy products that allow you to rationally plan the space of the corner, organize the storage of outerwear, accessories, sports equipment, bags and other things that are relevant to a person.

If the space of the entrance group allows the corner cabinet, there may be absolutely no two side walls, the function of which will be the wall surfaces of the corner. If the corridor is not large enough and spacious, you can choose a cabinet in the shape of a pentagon.

In the design of the corner cabinet for the corridor, shelves of various heights, pull-out drawers, horizontal crossbars with hangers for jackets or coats can be provided. Even with the meager size of the corridor, the presence of a mirror on the doors of the structure allows you to prepare for going to work or for a walk in comfortable conditions.

Radius

For lovers of non-standard interiors, designers create radius cabinets in the usual corridor of an apartment in Khrushchev. This is a full-fledged closet, the doors of which are convex in shape, sliding apart in a side around the circumference. A similar feature makes the products more spacious, interesting in appearance, comfortable in the corridor. And for the decoration of products of radius type, you can apply many technologies: photo printing, sandblasting and so on.

Note that such structures do not have sharp corners, if inscribed in the corner of the corridor. Therefore, they are completely safe for young children. But it is worth remembering that radius models often cost a little more than conventional designs of a standard type. The original closet with a mirror in the hallway, as shown in the photo below, is very roomy and practical.

Location

When choosing a cabinet with a mirror for the corridor, it is important to understand exactly how to better position it. Unsuccessful placement can significantly reduce the functionality of a piece of furniture, make it unattractive, nondescript.

There are simple rules for the location of the mirror cabinet, which will help to harmoniously fit it into the premises of the entrance group:

a narrow, long corridor requires the installation of a cabinet with a mirror near the shortest wall. Sometimes with this arrangement, the front door is directly opposite the product, but you should not be afraid of such a configuration of furniture. It is a mistake to believe that such a zoning of a corridor can somehow frighten off material well-being or happiness from home. Omit prejudices to get the most functional corridor;
if the entrance group has a square shape, a cabinet with mirror-type doors should be placed along the wall along its entire length. If the room has a niche, then it is worth choosing a sliding wardrobe with a mirror for it;
for an entrance hall with a large number of doors, the narrow, tall model at the entrance is optimal. This arrangement will not interfere and provide the user with high comfort.

Filling

The filling of such products can be very diverse. When choosing it, it is important to build on the opinions of the owners of the house, their needs and material capabilities. This can be an attachment for storing bags, nets for trousers, a horizontal bar with hangers for dresses, shirts, outerwear, standard shelves, niches for accessories, pull-out drawers for linen.

The greater the height of the shelf, the more ambitious things should be stored on it. For example, a shelf with a height of 60 cm is suitable for pastel or outerwear, and a shelf with a height of 30 cm is suitable for t-shirts and shirts. It is good to divide the interior of the cabinet into several zones if it is used by a woman and a man. Then finding the right thing will take less time.

Dimensions

Taking measurements in a furniture store, feel free to choose the most beautiful, practical, functional, in your opinion, model.You can choose standard options, the height of which varies between 180-230 cm, width - 60-210 cm, depth - 60-85.
