Plastic models for the hallway can not be attributed to practical and durable. From daily use, plastic quickly deteriorates, in addition, such hangers will not be able to support the weight of heavy clothing.

Location Guidelines

A small apartment or a private house with a small entrance hall is not a reason to abandon the beautiful, functional design of the room. If the dimensional sliding wardrobe and multi-section furniture does not allow space, it is enough to install a compact clothes hanger in the room with a shoe stand. It takes up a minimum of space, does not clutter the passage, does not interfere no less than a large cabinet. The main rules that should be followed when placing furniture:

for narrow and narrow hallways fit corner hangers complemented by cupboards for shoes. They are installed in the free corner of the room near the front doors;
the furniture is narrow in depth and is suitable for “elongated” hallways with a limited passage. Place a floor hanger along a free wall, opposite the doors to the bathroom, toilet;
in spacious rooms, hangers are used as an additional type of furniture, so that you can dry your wet clothes before storage in the closet for the hallway;
wall structures are placed so that it is convenient to reach the hooks of the hanger. Floor models, combined with a pedestal, are placed closer to the front door - sitting on a pedestal, it is comfortable to shoe;
hangers with spacious cabinets, narrow in width, are located next to the mirror. These are the most compact products on which there is no place for additional installation of mirrors;
large halls in country houses and cottages offer great opportunities for the installation of furniture. Oversized hangers with pedestals can be located by the window onto the terrace.

The main rule when placing furniture in the hallway is that structures should not block the passage and impede the free opening of entrance doors and doors to other rooms. The halls are predominantly artificial lighting, so it is recommended to install spotlights in the area of the mirror.
