Welcome to Winter – Order & Coziness in the Hallway Introduction


Welcome to Winter – Order & Coziness in the Hallway Introduction

The hallway is the first room we enter when we come home—and in the colder months, it's also the place where coats, scarves, hats, and wet shoes gather. Especially in winter, it's a pivotal point: It's where we bid farewell to the cold in the morning and look forward to warmth and security in the evening. With a few simple adjustments, the entrance area can be designed so that it not only stays tidy but also appears inviting—for you and your guests.

Create storage space for winter wardrobe


Thick coats and padded jackets need space. Open coat racks or rows of hooks ensure clothes are quickly accessible. If you want to keep the floor clear, use wall hooks at different heights – this way, even children can have their own wardrobe. Baskets or boxes under the bench provide space for gloves and hats.

Organise shoes – clean & space-saving


Dirt and moisture are unfortunately part of winter's routine. A non-slip shoe mat absorbs moisture, while an open shoe rack keeps things organised. Those who prefer a minimalist look can choose a model with closed fronts. For frequently used pairs, a narrow shoe rack mounted directly on the wall is sufficient.

Light & warmth in the entrance area


In winter, it's often dark when we leave or return home. Warm light immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere. A small table lamp on the console table or a wall light with dimmable light creates a cozy atmosphere. A runner or rug in warm colours also creates a pleasant feeling in the room.

Order with style


Functionality doesn't have to be boring: Coat racks, hook rails, and shelves are available in modern designs that blend harmoniously into the hallway. Metal in matte black or warm brass has a timeless look and can be easily combined with wood. Details like these create a unified look—and at the same time make the hallway more practical.

Small extras, big effect


Sometimes it's the inconspicuous things that make everyday life in the hallway noticeably easier. A designated place for keys or wallet saves valuable minutes in the morning. A small seat—whether a bench or stool—makes putting on shoes more comfortable and offers additional storage space underneath. A narrow console table or wall shelf holds mail and bags without blocking the doorway. Even a subtle room fragrance or a small plant can make you feel welcome as soon as you enter. These details take up little space but add a lot of comfort.

Set seasonal accents


With just a few accessories, the hallway can also have a wintery feel without being overly cluttered. A wreath on the wall, a simple candle holder, or a woven basket for scarves and hats add a touch of colour and bring a seasonal feel to the entryway. The rule of thumb is: less is often more—this way, the hallway remains a functional space without losing its airiness.
