Hallway with corner wardrobe

In a city apartment and in a private house there are no premises that would not have a functional load. The entrance hall is no exception. It is here that the entered person undresses, takes off his shoes, leaves clothes and shoes.

But what if the hallway is too small and an ordinary wardrobe does not fit into it? In such a situation, the best solution would be to install the wardrobe in the corner of the hallway.

There is even a special kind of this furniture - a corner wardrobe. Even the small size of the room is not an obstacle to its installation. It will save space a lot.
