Hallway Furniture

Hallway and Entryway Furniture for Storage and Seating  Hallway furniture keeps the entry of your home organised, giving shoes, bags and keys a place to go and offering somewhere to sit by the door. This range brings together shoe cabinets, bench seats, storage ottomans, buffets, full-length mirrors and console tables, so you can furnish a narrow hallway or a wider entrance from one collection.  Why furnish your hallway?  Shoe cabinets with doors keep footwear out of sight, and the slimmest are around 40cm deep. Lift-top storage ottomans and benches with built-in storage double as seating while you put on shoes. A padded boucle or velvet bench seat adds comfort and texture to a tiled or timber-floored entry. A full-length mirror lets you check your outfit on the way

Hallway Furniture Ideas for a Welcoming First Impression 

Start with how you use the entry. If shoes pile up by the door, lead with closed storage. If you need a spot to sit, put a hallway bench first, then add a mirror once the essentials are in place. In a small hallway, start with one piece that does two jobs, such as a storage bench. 

In a wider entrance, a longer bench or a buffet can anchor the wall. If you would rather have a surface for keys and a lamp than closed storage, compare our console tables , including styles with drawers. 

Practical Hallway Storage Furniture and Cabinets 

For hall storage, a hallway or entryway cabinet holds the most. The shoe cabinets here are 38cm to 40cm deep, and one has four push-open doors with adjustable shelves and open cubbies at the base for everyday shoes. The taller style stands 95cm high with five internal shelves behind arched doors, so it works as a hallway cupboard for more pairs. 

For bags, hats and spare linen, a storage buffet adds closed shelving or drawers. Browse more sideboards and buffets for longer walls. A storage bench with a lift-up seat hides umbrellas, scarves and sports gear while giving you a place to sit, and the larger ottoman benches are around 150cm long. 

Hallway Furniture Materials and Finishes 

Cabinets and buffets are made from engineered wood, finished in white, oak or walnut ash veneer, or black with gold handles. Benches and ottomans are upholstered in boucle or velvet over high-density foam, with timber frames on several styles. 

White and light oak keep a dark hallway bright, while walnut, charcoal and black suit a modern entry with darker floors. Velvet in sage, burnt orange or chocolate brown brings colour to an otherwise neutral space. 

Assembly and Styling Tips for Entryway Furniture 

Assembly depends on the piece. Most benches and mirrors arrive ready to use, while cabinets and buffets need assembly, usually by two people, with instructions included. Check each product page before delivery day. 

To style the entry, lean the full-length mirror against the wall beside a bench or cabinet, then add a small tray and a plant or a piece of wall art to finish the wall. Keep cabinet tops clear of clutter so the entry feels calm. Explore the hallway furniture above to build an entry that suits the way you come and go.

FAQs

What furniture goes in a hallway?

Most hallways need somewhere to store shoes and bags, somewhere to sit and a mirror. A shoe cabinet, a bench seat or storage ottoman, and a full-length mirror cover these needs without crowding the space.

How do I choose hallway furniture for a narrow entryway?

Measure the width of the hall and keep a clear path of about 90cm. Choose shallow pieces with doors instead of open shelves, and add a full-length mirror to make the space feel wider.

What is the best hallway storage for shoes?

A shoe cabinet with doors keeps pairs tidy and dust-free. Count the pairs you wear each week, then choose a cabinet with room for them and a taller space for boots.

How do I choose an entryway bench?

Match the bench length to the wall, leaving space at each end so doors and walkways stay clear. Add a backrest if people will sit for longer, and check the seat height suits putting on shoes.

Should hallway cabinets be fixed to the wall?

Yes, tall or narrow hallway cabinets should be fixed to the wall, as they can tip when doors or drawers are pulled open. Use the anchoring hardware supplied, especially in homes with young children.

Are there styling tips for long hallways?

Break a long hallway into zones, with storage near the door and a bench or artwork further along. Repeating one finish or colour along the wall keeps the space connected rather than cluttered.

Can hallway furniture be used in other rooms?

Yes, hallway furniture works well in other rooms. A storage bench suits the foot of a bed, a buffet fits a dining room, and a full-length mirror suits a bedroom or dressing area.
