Hallway helper

‘A hallway is an area with a lot of traffic, meaning floor space is scarce. But it’s also the first impression of your home, so don’t skimp on style,’ says Bo Hellberg, CMO of String. ‘Obviously, it’s great to have a way to store shoes, bags and jackets. Display what makes your home welcoming and put away what makes it untidy. In a narrow hallway, make use of the height and wall spaces. If you have space under the stairs, you could design an almost extra small room, with desks, cabinets and shelves.’ GET THE LOOK Pocket shelf, £126; wall panels, from £48; shoe shelf, from £65; high edge shelf, £66, all String at Haus
