Narrow hallway storage
Hemnes shoe cabinet, £75, IKEA
Hallway shoe storage can be one of the biggest problems when it comes to houses with narrow corridors. You want something that is big enough to hide all those messy shoes, but not so big that you have to do a crab-style walk down your hallway to get past it.
The IKEA Hemnes shoe cabinet is great for small hallway storage. Designed to screw directly into the wall for balance, this shoe cabinet has a leg clearance greater than most skirting boards, meaning it can fit flush to your wall.
Once installed, this Scandi shoe cabinet can hold 8-12 pairs of shoes, plus the top is wide enough to fit a few decorative accessories!

Hallway mirrors
Large rose gold pebble wall mirror, £58, Oliver Bonas
The secret to a great hallway design? A huge statement mirror!
No matter how small your hallway is, a large mirror will instantly make it feel bigger by reflecting the light all around and giving it a light and airy feeling.
To style your mirror, position it off-centre above your shoe cabinet, then add some botanicals and other accessories of different heights around it.

Tall coat and shoe stands
HIBA pine and metal coat stand, £185, La Redoute
If you can't go wide with your storage, then go tall!
Combining a sturdy frame with pine shelving, this industrial-style hallway stand from La Redoute is perfect for nestling in a corner, or even in a wall alcove. Use the three shelves for storage baskets if you need to hold more shoes, then hang your coats and add a faux String of Pearls house plant to the top shelf for a tidy storage solution.
