Small hallways are nothing new for residents of typical apartments. It doesn’t matter at all what type of development – old or new – the houses belong to.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, the owners of such housing will face such problems as a pile of things that do not fit on the hanger, a shelf filled with shoes, a small closet, since there is simply no room for a spacious one, etc.

If you are not willing to put up with darkness and darkness, use the following tips.

The most obvious solution is to redesign the space, if such an opportunity exists, of course.

You can combine the hallway and the kitchen by separating the latter with a small partition.

The correct arrangement of furniture, well-chosen finishing materials and other solutions offered by interior design specialists will also be useful for zoning.

If it is not possible to combine rooms, use visual techniques.

Add more light sources, install floor-to-ceiling mirrors, decorate the walls with light materials, and make the floor dark and contrasting.

You can leave your clothes in a closet, and buy a shoe rack for your shoes. If possible, turn an adjacent storage room into a dressing room so you can leave your things there and not clutter up the hallway with them.
