If we’re being honest, wouldn’t we all choose a big house to call home? Of course, but it’s not always possible. Sometimes you have to cut your cloth to measure and this can mean having to choose a home or apartment that lacks space in certain rooms. While we are reluctant to compromise in areas such as the bedroom, main living space and kitchen, we almost always end up with a rather tight-fitting hallway. And that’s ok, mostly, because it doesn’t have to fit larger items like a sofa or bed frame. However, it will likely still need to accommodate coats and shoes at the very least, so storage is definitely essential in the hallway. Even narrow hallways have the ability to house a slim sideboard, tall console table, or slender bookcase. With this in mind, EZ Living Furniture has put together a list of the most appropriate items of furniture for tight hallways. They’re so stylish, they’re sure to make a statement too!
1. Bronco Sideboard
We couldn’t talk about statement hallway furniture without mentioning the Bronco Sideboard above. Both functional and modern, this piece is sure to set tongues wagging. Relatively slim, it’s extremely unlikely to obstruct anybody from entering or leaving the house in even the narrowest of hallways. Warning: Guests might cause a blockage when they first arrive because they’ll be too busy checking out this beautiful green storage unit. The Bronco is a decorative piece as is with its beautiful green colouring, but with the addition of a few home accessories it can really become a stand-out feature. Three doors with ribbed glass panels will open to reveal plenty of storage space for baskets. These can then be used to keep the smaller items organised. Think hats, gloves, scarves, and small umbrellas.
2. Malibu Metal Cabinet
The Malibu Cabinet above offers you the best of both worlds. Its slim stature means that it will have no problem fitting in a skinny hallway. One side can be used as a display cabinet, while the other can be used to store your hallway necessities. Vases, candles, and even photo frames could all be easily displayed on the left-hand side of the Malibu. The top surface is the perfect spot for table lamps and any wall art. And finally, the right-hand side features closed storage with two mesh doors that can hide any unsightly items and a multitude of sins. The black metal finish of the Malibu means that this display cabinet is bang-on-trend for 2023 too!
3. Polygon Console Table
Just look at the Polygon Console Table piece above. Isn’t it a beauty? Did you know that console tables were the original hallway table? Originating in France in the 17th Century, they were designed to be slim in stature and were usually found in the hallways of grand houses and mansions. Now, it wouldn’t be unusual to find a console table in every person’s home. And you shouldn’t just expect to see them in a hallway either, these multi-purpose tables are perfect for a bedroom, living room, and even a dining room. The Polygon is a statement piece primarily because of its unusual shape. It’s crafted from reclaimed pine which coincidently is also on trend this year because of its connection to biophilic design. This console table is sure to grab the attention of any visitors and luckily, it too can display an array of eye-catching accessories and hallway essentials.
4. Monroe Hall Table
If storage isn’t a huge concern of yours, then all you really need is a small surface in your hallway. The Monroe Hall Table above has just enough surface space for any items you may need to grab quickly on your way out. Crafted from a beautiful grey ash, the Monroe is slim enough to fit in the smallest of hallways and is a reflection of the current trends with its grey metal legs. The ash on the top of this hall table has been arranged in a chevron pattern to enhance the table and create a real statement.
5. Pebble Console Table
Sometimes simplicity trumps fancy. Often, a statement piece can be, for want of a better word, ordinary to the untrained eye. Clean lines, neutral colours, and slim features are all you really need to create a contemporary statement in your hallway. The Pebble Console Table above is made from black metal. With the addition of an extra surface with a second shelf, this will not only look good in a tight hallway but it will function well too!
5. Grimm Shoe Rack & Bench
The Grimm Shoe Rack & Bench, if you can’t already tell, has multiple uses. If surface space isn’t important to you, then why not just look for the essentials? Most people will keep clothing such as coats and shoes at the door to avoid bringing any unwanted dirt into the main areas of the home. The coat rack above is surprisingly narrow, especially when you consider all of its uses. It has hooks to hang clothing, space underneath for footwear, and a bench to sit on when you want to take your shoes off. In this particular case, functionality doesn’t trump style. Crafted from a brown rustic wood, it’s sure to stand out for all the right reasons.
Remember, you don’t have to own a mansion to create a knock-out feature in your hallway. With a bit of creativity and with the help of EZ Living Furniture, you’re well on your way to making your narrow hallway the most desirable entryway anyone has ever seen!
