If the size of your hallway is large enough, then the choice will depend on your taste, you can afford any model. If the parameters of your corridor are small, you will have to put yourself in some framework.

• sizes;
• material;
• Colour.

For a small hallway, the following options are suitable:

• the corner model will fit perfectly. In addition, it not only takes up little space, but also smoothes corners.

• the built-in wardrobe is located in a niche. In some apartments, it is included in the planning;
• half built-in, while the product does not have at least 1 wall, most often the back. Basically, such designs are made to order.

Among the case models, the most popular is a 2-wing wardrobe.

• open shelves are used as a place for decor, placing souvenirs on them.
