Hallway

A hallway can do more than welcome you home. With IVAR shelving or KALLAX units nearby, it becomes a spot for hobbies too, holding everything from books to boxes without crowding the space.

Add a KYRRE stool for sitting while you tie your laces, a soft KLIPPOXEL throw over a FRÖSET easy chair, and a STOENSE rug underfoot, plus DRÖNA boxes to keep small items hidden away.

Every hallway has its own shape and quirks, so think about what you actually need to store. A LASTARE wardrobe combination or chest of four drawers gives coats and jumpers a proper home, while TJUSIG hangers on the wall or door catch jackets and bags on the way in.

Finish the space with a LINDBYN mirror for a last check before you leave, an ELSYSTEM rug to soften your steps, NICKY storage bags for scarves and gloves, and PUGGEHATT seat pads if you've added a bench or stool.

Whether your taste leans soft and pale or bold and dark, there is a look to suit. A TONSTAD or ANKARUDDEN chest of drawers brings proper storage, while a SILVERHÖJDEN frame or DAGGKAPRIFOL mirror adds personality to the wall above.

Layer in light with a DEJSA table lamp or SOLKLINT wall lamp, keep small things contained in a PURRPINGLA box or SILVTJÄRN container, and hang coats on a KÄMPIG hook for a finishing touch that feels complete.

The ÄLGANÄS clothes rack with shoe storage is the ideal solution for organising a small space to perfection. Set into a corner and paired with a shelf, it keeps everyday items, including the smallest accessories, neatly in order. Finish with a few hooks fixed to the wall, so you can grab keys, glasses and headphones on your way out.

Add a BLÅSER mirror for checking your reflection, a NYMÅNE wall lamp for reading post by the door, and a PÅLYCKE clip-on hook rack for anything that needs a quick, temporary spot.

Whatever its size, your hallway can make a real impact with a little creative thinking. A STOCKHOLM table lamp casts a warm glow, a FEJKA artificial potted plant brings life without any upkeep, and a SORTSÖ rug grounds the whole look underfoot.

A FLÅDIS seagrass basket handles everything else, while a TOLKNING rattan room divider adds warmth and texture behind the console, quietly separating the space without closing it in.

To manage the everyday chaos that comes with a house full of children, look for sturdy, accessible solutions that keep the hallway tidy at every height. BOAXEL shelves and mesh baskets adapt as needs change, while a TRONES shoe cabinet keeps footwear off the floor.

Hang a SKÅDIS pegboard for quick-grab items, fit MULIG clothes bars within easy reach of smaller hands, and use NEREBY s-hooks or a PURRPINGLA laundry bag to keep sports kit and swimming gear in one place.

However the day has gone, coming home should feel good, and whatever the size of your hallway, the right pieces keep it practical all year round, even with a family's worth of shoes and belongings passing through.

A NIPÅSEN coat rack and bench with shoe storage handles the daily rush, while a SINDAL door mat and BAGGMUCK shoe mat catch the worst of the weather. Add an APOTEKARE wall shelf for keys and post, and a LJUNGAN basket for anything that needs a quick home.

A perfectly organised hallway is not out of reach. If you feel this room gets a little overlooked, or you are not sure where to start, a few small changes make a real difference, morning and evening alike.

An EKRAR hat and coat stand takes the pressure off a wardrobe that is already full, while a HOVET mirror and NYMÅNE ceiling spotlight make getting ready easier. Add a BEKVÄM step stool for reaching high shelves, and NOJIG organisers to keep drawers and baskets in order.

Colour does a lot of the work in a narrow hallway. Soft pink walls paired with sage green and small touches of blue or orange add depth and personality, making the room beyond feel even brighter. A HÖLJES pendant downlighter strengthens the effect, while a LYDERSHOLM flatwoven rug stretches the eye down the length of the space.

Choose a slim MELLÖSA picture ledge to display a few frames without crowding the walls, and look for a narrow table paired with low stools that tuck away and double as a spot to rest shoes.

Keen to update your hallway but working with a rented space and a tight budget. There are still ways to add personality without drilling holes or spending a fortune. Here is an approach for a lively, Scandinavian-style look that keeps things simple.

An EKRAR hat and coat stand and a MACKAPÄR storage bench with sliding doors handle the practical side, while a LINDBYN mirror and a BERÄKNA bowl add a decorative touch. Finish with a BAGGMUCK shoe mat underfoot and a NISSAFORS trolley for anything on the move.
