Frequently Asked Questions About Solid Wood Entryway and Hallway Furniture
What furniture does a functional entryway need?
These pieces address the daily routine of coming and going: a place for keys and mail, a spot to store shoes, a full-length mirror, and, if possible, a place to sit. They’re designed for small spaces, because entryways and hallways thrive on every centimeter of clearance. Solid wood adds the warmth to a home’s first impression that such spaces often need. We work exclusively with FSC-certified solid oak, manufactured in Europe.
What is the maximum depth for a hallway cabinet?
The rule of thumb: always leave 90 cm of clear space, with 80 cm as the absolute minimum. In a 110-cm hallway, that limits the depth of furniture to 25 or 30 cm—the realm of console tables, slip-on shoe racks, and narrow shelves. Measure your actual walking space with the doors open before choosing a piece. We’ll expand on these space-saving tips in our guide on how to make a narrow hallway appear wider.
How is the furniture in the entryway maintained?
They’re the parts of the house that get the most wear and tear—from bags, packages, and shoulders brushing against them as people pass by: wipe them down with a damp cloth frequently and treat them with natural oil once or twice a year, paying extra attention to the edges and corners. Solid oak holds up well to this kind of treatment, and any marks can be repaired with fine-grit sandpaper and oil.
What specific piece of furniture is used to store shoes in the entryway?
The shoe rack with shelves: 25 cm deep, with slanted shelves and an upper support surface included. It is the most efficient item per centimeter in the entire entry-level catalog. The solid wood shoe racks can also withstand daily use for decades.
How should I finish the wall in the entryway?
Always include a mirror: a quick check before heading out, amplified light, and a sense of spaciousness in the narrowest part of the house. The entryway mirror above the entryway cabinet is the element that transforms a hallway with furniture into a thoughtfully designed entryway.
