Mirror with shelf in the hallway

The hallway and corridor are seen by a person who enters a house or apartment. The overall impression of the home depends on the design of this room. It is far from always possible to beautifully arrange such a small space. However, several important details can literally transform the hallway. This article will tell you in detail about one of these components - a mirror with a shelf.

The mirror is not only a necessary functional part of the corridor, but also an important attribute of a stylish interior. There are many interesting ways to make your hallway design bright and unusual with this piece of furniture. Modern styles offer a myriad of options.

In a small corridor, every free centimeter is important, so you need to carefully approach the design of this room. Do not clutter up the space with too much furniture. It is advisable to leave some free space so that there is free passage. The most functional models of mirrors can be called several options.

A mirror of this configuration takes up almost no space. You can hang the model right in front of the entrance with a spacious shelf next to it. The mirror will make the space wider and will fulfill its direct functions.

The most common option is to place the shelf under the mirror. Small shelving should not be too high and block the mirror image. It is best to install it about 70-100 cm from the floor.

The shelf can also be positioned above the mirror surface. This option is suitable if the mirror is very tall and wide. It is also possible to install vertical shelving, which will be located on the sides of the furniture. The design can be supplemented with spot lighting, turning an ordinary mirror space into a design highlight.

The lid of the nightstand can be transformed into a functional shelf. The option is extremely convenient, since all the necessary things will always be at hand. Functionally, you can use not only the resulting shelf, but also a bedside table or chest of drawers.

Elements of the heating system can often be seen in the corridor, and it does not look very presentable. If the heating system goes out into the corridor, then the radiator pipes can be beautifully disguised with a shelf. The rack should be installed next to the radiator grill and the mirror can be hung from above.

If you combine a mirror with a hanger and a shelf, you can solve several problems in the interior at once. The furniture modules are placed next to the mirror and are very spacious. Outerwear is always at hand, all the necessary things will also be nearby. In addition, at any time you can look at your reflection, fix your hair or beautifully tie a scarf.

This option assumes a hinged shelf, which will be located directly above the mirror. A panel with hangers or hooks can be installed on the side.

Another good solution to decorate a corner space that usually remains empty. The shelf is in the shape of a triangle, and the mirror is placed on one of the nearby walls.

Corner structures have a not very large mirror surface. However, this option allows you to use the free space in the corner of the hallway, which usually remains unclaimed. The model significantly saves space, makes it possible to disguise the heating system.

The assortment presented in stores offers a huge selection of the most interesting models. Furniture differs not only in color and size, but also in shape and overall decor. The optimal solution for installing a mirror in the corridor is floor or wall samples.

A comfortable table or a special console can become a spacious shelf. The mirror is located above the console or above the table. The design looks very beautiful and can transform the interior of any room.

You can put a soft stool nearby. These attributes transform the room into a miniature boudoir. In the drawers you can place the necessary little things and cosmetics.

If the mirror and the rack fit well to it, then this option does not imply the acquisition of a single set of furniture. You can create your own design solution and combine several interior items from different manufacturers. Sometimes organic eclecticism will look stylish and fresh in the hallway - a combination of models that do not match in style. Meanwhile, mixing different styles often gives completely unexpected and interesting results.

There are equally interesting options.

• Shelf system and mirror. Sophisticated but highly functional design. Furniture of this type has a body. The shelving system sometimes includes drawers, a miniature mirror, and multiple shelves. The furniture does not take up much space and is great for small corridors.

• Floor furniture (shelves and a mirror in a single design). This option is a real find for connoisseurs of functionality. The design usually has several drawers and spacious shelves. All this is combined with a vertical full-length mirror.

• Suspended cabinet design. A shoe rack is most often used as a roomy pedestal. If the furniture has a vertical arrangement, then the mirror is installed side by side. If the design is quite large and provides for the placement of 20-30 pairs of shoes, then the mirror surface is mounted on top.

• Mirror and console. This is a classic solution, which assumes that the furniture is matched in color, texture and style.

There are a few details to consider when choosing the highest quality mirror.

• The surface of the amalgam must be flat, without streaks or chips. Reflection should be free from distortion.

• If the furniture is sold without a frame, then the edges of the product should be smoothed (so the likelihood of cuts will be minimal). This is especially true if children live in the apartment.

• The back of the mirror should be smooth, as the quality of the reflection depends on it. Glass should be chosen thick enough - a product that is too thin can change its shape over time, or the image will be distorted.

• Both the shelf and the frame should be created from the same material, only then the design will look harmonious. The rack must be securely fixed.

• The shelf and frame can be made of metal, wood or plastic. These materials are strong enough to support the weight of the structure. All of them must be safe and hypoallergenic.

• The reliability of the fastening must be checked - it must withstand the load when installing the mirror. Floor furniture should also have stable legs.

In this section, it is worth immediately omitting the question of installing mirror structures with a shelf, representing one whole. We have two modules that are designed in the same style. How do I arrange them? There are different installation options.

• If the shelf fits snugly against the wall and is attached to a special gap, then it can be installed over the entire height of the mirror. Such a rack can be placed right in the center of the structure or at the very top. In fact, the shelf is a functional module that is placed vertically.

• A regular shelf can be installed at the bottom of the mirror. Such a model cannot be placed on the sides. Of course, you can experiment with the distances between the shelving and the mirror surface, or move the shelf to the side.

A beautiful full-length mirror with a dark wood frame looks great with a long shelf. All the little things you need can easily fit on the rack.

A beautiful version of rounded furniture with a double shelving unit will look elegant in any corridor. The look of the furniture perfectly matches any style. In the interior, this option goes well with an elegant chest of drawers.

The small rectangular mirror has two additional shelves. One of the shelves has a functional purpose - it acts as a box.

The shelf is quite compact, small in size and great for storage. The product itself looks beautiful and sophisticated.
