Wall hangers
The optimal solution for a small hallway. They do not take up a large area and are easy to use. The most budget-friendly variety is hooks, the number of which is determined individually. Fastening occurs directly to the wall or to a special panel.
An improved option is a hanger with a shelf. With its help, you can organize the storage of not only clothes, but also hats and accessories.
Hanger combined with wardrobe
Typical hanging closets in the hallway are often equipped with external hooks and shelves at the end. Or, as an addition, a hanging structure stretches along the wall from the cabinet. Here there is already an opportunity for the designers’ imagination to run wild.
Expensive types of wood and the finishing of leather upholstery with carriage stitches characterize Baroque and classicism styles. Such furniture requires spacious rooms, otherwise it will not look good.
Modern urban designs with a minimal amount of decoration and often monochromatic additions made of chipboard are budget options for hangers (wardrobes). When choosing this option, you should pay attention not to the smell.
A strong, pungent smell of a new item indicates low-grade materials (chipboard). By purchasing such furniture, you can get poisoned by toxic formaldehyde.
The design of a high-tech style hanging cabinet involves bright plastic surfaces or metallic tones. Even the hooks themselves can be made of transparent plastic. Neon lighting is relevant in such designs.
Floor hangers
With their help you can decorate residential and public spaces. A distinctive feature is the complete mobility of the structure, because there is no fastening to the floor. Moving the hanger into free space is not difficult, especially if it has wheels.
Most often, products are found in the form of a rack with a circular arrangement of hooks over several tiers. At the bottom there are elements for fixing bags and umbrellas, in the middle zone there are hooks for jackets and raincoats, and the top is used for storing hats.
An alternative is a floor structure on several supports connected by crossbars or rods. It is less compact than a hanging rack, but can contain a couple of shelves at the base.
Floor hangers with shoe racks have become widespread in hallways. They solve 2 problems at once: storing clothes and shoes. Additionally, some models have an upper shelf, a mirror or soft upholstery of the shoe rack designed for the seat.
By design, there are open (without doors) and closed shoe racks. The latter reliably hide shoes from prying eyes.
Elegant wood panels
Such hangers are suitable for a more restrained interior, in which there is no room for bright accents, but original decor is required. Their smooth shape will visually “smooth out” the appearance of the hallway. And discreet hooks on the sides allow you to conveniently hang bags and small clothes.

Metal
These hangers can withstand heavy loads; they are heavy but stable. Standard use is placement of oversized outerwear (down jackets, fur coats). Aluminum and chrome-plated steel are used for manufacturing. Both materials are non-corrosive, have a long service life, and polished surfaces add aesthetics to the product.
Among all metal structures, forged hangers stand out. They give the hallway a noble look and grace. During the manufacturing process, the metal is primed and coated with gold, silver, greenish, copper patina or powder paint. It is this technology of artificial aging that makes the forged hanger unusual.
To create a unified ensemble, you can purchase the same table, flower stand or mirror in a forged frame as a set for a wrought-iron hanger.
What are shoe racks like?
Hangers placed on the wall may differ in the types of shoe racks. So, in form there are:
- Open type . This type is very popular. Shoes placed in this shoe rack are constantly ventilated and dry faster. This means that the appearance of unpleasant odors in shoes is minimal. But dust settles on the shoes and dirt gets in. The hallway is more susceptible to pollution than other rooms in the apartment;
- Closed type . It looks like a small bedside table or cabinet. Often this design is connected to the seat. The size of the hallway does not always allow for a separate ottoman to sit on and put on your shoes. A closed shoe rack with a seat combines two functions and thereby saves space. The pros and cons of this type of shoe rack are the opposite of open. The shoes are protected from dirt and dust. But at the same time, it is poorly ventilated, which provokes the appearance of an unpleasant odor. Therefore, many shoe racks of this type have a special ventilation system;

A closed shoe rack will hide your shoes from prying eyes
Helpful advice! It is better to choose a closed shoe rack for those who have a pet in the house. He loves to spoil and chew everything. Your shoes will be under reliable protection.
Slim.
A type of shoe rack that differs from others in its appearance. The view is narrow and tall. Purchased for hallways where literally every centimeter counts. Great space saver. Store shoes in an upright position and this negatively affects the retention of their shape. Despite the fact that the shoe rack is narrow, the height increases the risk of accidentally hitting it. It is worth considering all these disadvantages when choosing.

Plastic
These hangers are the most budget friendly of all. They are lightweight but impractical. If a plastic hanger is overloaded with clothes, it may become unstable and fall.
You can make original hangers for the hallway with your own hands. For this purpose, cuts and branches of trees of medium thickness, elk or deer antlers are suitable.
The blanks are first ground, sharp edges are dulled, and the final stage is the application of paint and varnish. Old, worn hangers can be transformed using decoupage or appliques.
Secrets of the right choice
To ensure that the purchase does not disappoint its owner, designers advise applying some rules:
- There must be a correspondence between the appearance of the hanger and the concept and color scheme of the hallway. Floor-mounted options are suitable for large areas and offices; wall-mounted ones are suitable for small spaces.
- The hanger must be stable; its elements must not warp under the load. For floor-standing options, it is desirable that the legs have rubber tips.
- The material and coating of the product must meet safety standards.
