Whether you’ve been inspired by Sort Your Life Out on BBC One or you’re helplessly watching the pile of shoes in the hallway grow taller, we’re here with a few ideas.
In this guide we’ll cover some top tips on keeping your hallway organised – so you can feel ready to relax from the moment you walk through the door.
Install hooks
Organising your coats, hats and scarves by the front door can be challenging, but there might be a quick and easy solution to help you out. Hooks – whether they’re brass, silver, black or white – can be a life-saver if you’ve not got enough space for a wardrobe.
All you need is a screwdriver – and then you’ll be ready to go. If you have any concerns about undertaking the work yourself, find out about help you can get to improve your home with hooks.
Transform your under-stairs space
Keep your clutter out of sight with a designated storage space under your stairs. Perfectly tucked away but still within easy reach, you could use anything from a simple shoe rack to custom-built furniture to become more organised.
If you opt for bespoke fitted wardrobes, you can enjoy peace of mind, that you’ll be working with experienced interior designers who know exactly how to work with awkward spaces – including under the stairs. Made-to-measure understairs units allow you to use your space effectively, covering every single square-inch.
Use designated spaces
Try to make the most of household storage space away from your hallway. As tempting as it is to throw down the children’s school bags by the front door and forget about them until the following morning, it’s better to encourage proactive habits and a tidying routine.
If you have a large enough cupboard, why not keep your vacuum cleaner along with all your cleaning supplies together? For the kitchen, compartmentalising the room into different task-based zones could make lunchtime a breeze.
‘Rehome’ your clutter
Finding a ‘home’ within your home for everything you use on daily basis could be incredibly helpful. By putting household items in a logical place, you could make life easier for yourself and your family, too.
Think of incorporating baskets or boxes for smaller items including keys, hats, and gloves. If you have a dog, why not create a station for his leads and toys?
With these simple tips, we’re sure that you’ll be able to make the most out of your hallway.
