We are designing the cupboards and cabinets in hallway..Any pointers on how to use the 3100 length linen cupboard? sliding doors or hinged doors or both? any open sheving to open up hallway? Also note its opposite to bathroom. Kindly advice!
I see you have a store room. Do you have a broom cupboard in your laundry? Either way, it may be a good idea to incorporate standing space in your linen cupboard to store extra household items like a mop, step ladder etc. If you allow around 700mm width for that, you'll still have plenty of storage for linen. Also, ensure you have some large spacing between some of the shelves for extra doonas, pillows and other bulky items. I'd recommend hinged doors if you want a nice streamlined look.
Your hallway looks nice and wide. Personally, I'd use that space to hang art.
Thank you so much for your response!! we do have a 600mm broom cupboard in our laundry.Good point to have 700mm standing space for the other household items. we were worried if the hinged door would hinder the hallway? would hinged and sliding combination look good? Say the 700mm singke hinged door and remaining bit with sliding?
Also there is a recess in the hallway near main door, will that be good for art or maybe some arrangement for dropping keys, everyday items etc.? Btw, store seen next to fridge is planned for pantry/oven.
maybe something like the pic below with an open space between the cupboards..Will that help reduce the long hallway effect or does ot make the hallway look weird
Hinged doors are better, you can not access all of the storage if you have sliding doors. (a sliding door is always in the way). Where hinged doors have no access restrictions.
A stream lined set of hinged doors, in a hallway would look good.
If you have the combination you have drawn, I think it would look like a bedroom arrangement.
Like dreamers second last photo. I would create a mudroom style on right hand end with cupboard half hang for coats and half shelves, on right hand end open bench seat racing to a table height so you can sit and remove shoes and put bags or flowers lamp etc on table. Spend some money on the bench table nice and chunky
One of our neighbours has just done a full renovation and extension of their house, the hallway cupboards were hinged with no handles, so push to open, it looks stunning
