Before you go and buy a piece of furniture for a certain room you should always carefully measure the extra space.
It doesn't matter the amount of space that you have available; the piece of furniture needs to match perfectly in that certain room.
Let's take a quick look at the hallway.
When it's empty it could look pretty uninviting.
You should choose to place a coat rack stand or maybe a bench.
This way you will not only lighten up the place but you will also have room for coats and shoes.
This is a better option then placing all the coats on an empty bed whenever you have guests.
There are some coat stands that are provided with an umbrella stand and drip tray.
This way you won't make your floors all wet whenever it rains.
You can also choose a coat rack bench.
This is a 2 in 1 piece of furniture because it provides you a coat rack and a bench as well.
This way you can store coats and shoes as well.
This is a great addition especially when you enter the home wearing muddy shoes.
This piece of furniture also provides extra storage space underneath the seat.
This way you can store other outdoor equipment next to the entrance.
The last thing that you need to do is decide upon a model.
Try to make the piece of furniture blend in your home's current design.
If you choose hallway furniture you will most probably find wood furniture but you have the option of choosing the color that you want.
If you want a touch of style then you can always choose cushions for the bench.
You will then be able to match the color of the cushions with the color of your walls for example.
