Hallway

Your hallway sets the tone before anyone steps further into your home. From practical storage to small finishing touches, here are ideas and furniture to make the entrance you walk through every day work harder for you.

Hallway

Designed for your hobbies and your budget

A hallway can double as a spot for hobbies without taking over your budget. An IVAR shelving unit or a KALLAX unit gives you sturdy, flexible storage for anything from trainers to craft supplies, while DRÖNA boxes keep smaller items hidden from view.

Add an FRÖSET easy chair with a KLIPPOXEL throw for a seat worth lingering in, a KYRRE stool for tying laces, and a STOENSE rug underfoot to pull the whole corner together comfortably.

A hallway for every style

Whatever look you are drawn to, your hallway can reflect it. A TONSTAD or ANKARUDDEN chest of drawers brings solid storage with real character, while a SILVERHÖJDEN frame or DAGGKAPRIFOL mirror adds personality to the walls above it.

For softer finishing touches, a DEJSA table lamp or SOLKLINT wall lamp warms up darker corners, KÄMPIG hooks keep bags and leads within easy reach, and PURRPINGLA boxes or SILVTJÄRN containers tidy away the smaller things that tend to pile up by the door.

No hallway? Create an informal one of your own

Not every home has a proper entrance hall, but you can still carve one out. The ÄLGANÄS clothes rack with shoe storage, or the matching shoe rack, works well tucked into a corner, keeping everyday items including small accessories neatly in order.

Add a PÅLYCKE clip-on hook rack or a few TIPPVAGN hooks on a VIDGA single track rail so keys, glasses and headphones are always within grabbing distance, and light the spot with a NYMÅNE wall lamp or SPETSBOJ table lamp.

Ideas for a hallway that makes an impression

Whatever its size, your hallway can make a real impact with a little creative thinking. A STOCKHOLM 2025 table lamp or a KAPPELAND pendant lamp shade sets the mood as soon as you step in, while a SORTSÖ rug grounds the space underfoot.

A FEJKA artificial potted plant brings life without upkeep, a FLÅDIS seagrass basket handles everything else, while a TOLKNING rattan room divider adds warmth and texture behind the console. Finish with a LINDBYN mirror or a BERÄKNA bowl for keys and coins.

Organising a family hallway, with children in mind

Family hallways take a daily battering, so think sturdy and reachable at every height. A TOLKNING bench with storage keeps shoes contained while giving little ones somewhere to sit, and TRONES shoe cabinets stack neatly for anyone short on floor space.

Add BOAXEL shelves and mesh baskets or SKÅDIS shelves and containers at child height, hang coats on low TJUSIG or BUMERANG hangers, and let a DJUNGELSKOG soft toy keep younger ones entertained while you sort out the chaos.

A truly welcoming hallway

Coming home should feel good, whatever the day has been like, and a well-organised hallway helps make that happen whatever the season or however many pairs of shoes are involved. A NIPÅSEN coat rack and bench with shoe storage keeps everyone's things together in one spot.

Lay down a SINDAL door mat or BAGGMUCK shoe mat to catch the worst of the weather, hang bags from a HULTARP rail, and tuck away extras in LJUNGAN or LUSTIGKURRE baskets for a calmer, tidier entrance.

A narrow hallway where style meets practicality

Colour does a lot of the work in a narrow hallway. Soft pink or sage walls paired with a HULTARP hook and rail feel calm rather than cramped, while a LOMVIKEN frame or two adds personality without clutter.

A LOHALS or LYDERSHOLM flatwoven rug laid lengthways draws the eye forward, SOLKLINT table or wall lamps and a HÖLJES pendant downlighter keep the lighting soft, and a slim MELLÖSA picture ledge holds keys, post and anything else you grab on your way out.
