The entryway is usually narrow, low or awkwardly shaped – and that is exactly where custom furniture makes the biggest difference. A full-height cupboard for shoes and jackets, a bench with storage for putting your shoes on, a mirror and a coat wall in a single design.

Hallway and entryway
Custom entryway and hallway furniture
The entryway is the first room visitors see, and usually the most awkward space in the home: narrow, low, windowless, with doors on three sides and a radiator right where the cupboard should go. That is exactly why custom furniture makes the biggest difference here — there is simply nothing in off-the-shelf ranges for dimensions like these.
Custom shoe cabinets and outerwear
In a narrow hallway, the depth of the cupboard decides whether the space stays easy to walk through. For shoes on angled shelves, 20 to 25 cm of depth is enough, which means the cupboard barely projects into the room. For jackets on a front-to-back hanging rail you need 35 cm, and for a standard rail 55 cm — if the space is not there, we fit a pull-out rail.
We usually build the cupboard up to the ceiling. Suitcases and seasonal footwear go at the top, everyday shoes at the bottom, jackets and bags in the middle. We often leave the lower section open so that the shoes you are wearing this week do not catch on the doors.
Entryway with a bench for putting on shoes
A bench for putting on shoes is the piece people most often forget and then miss the most. We make it with an open shoe compartment underneath or with a lift-up seat and storage space. A height of 45 cm is comfortable for adults; for families with small children we add a low step.
Coat wall and mirror
Above the bench we make a coat wall with hooks and a shelf for keys, post and sunglasses. A full-height mirror visually doubles the hallway — in a narrow space it is the cheapest way to make it feel wider. On request we make it with LED lighting around the edge.
Colours and light
In the entryway we almost always recommend light decors and handleless fronts (push-to-open or profile), because every visible handle gets in the way in a narrow space. LED lighting under the cupboard helps too — entryways are rarely well enough lit.
Lead time and warranty
From survey to installation usually 4 to 6 weeks, with installation taking half a day to one day. Warranty: 2 years on workmanship and installation with correct use and care, and the manufacturer's lifetime warranty on Blum hardware.
The workshop is in Ig near Ljubljana; we install throughout Slovenia.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep can a cupboard be in a narrow hallway?
As little as 20–25 cm is enough for shoes on angled shelves and 35 cm for jackets on front-to-back hanging rails, so the hallway stays easy to walk through.
Do you also make wall panelling and the mirror?
Yes – wall panelling, the coat wall and the mirror are made as part of the same design, in the same material as the cupboards.
How long does it take?
From survey to installation 4–6 weeks; installing an entryway takes half a day to one day – or by arrangement.
What is the warranty?
2 years on workmanship, installation and materials (boards, fronts, worktops), with correct use and care according to the instructions you receive at handover. Blum hardware (hinges, runners, lift mechanisms) is covered by the manufacturer's lifetime warranty – for the life of the furniture under normal domestic use.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper use or maintenance: moisture and standing water (e.g. leaks under the sink or dishwasher), impacts, scratches and overloading of shelves or drawers, cleaning with aggressive or abrasive products, direct heat and steam (appliances without suitable protection), work or alterations carried out by third parties, normal wear and tear, and the natural characteristics of wood (differences in colour and grain, slight movement of the wood as humidity changes). Appliances carry their own manufacturer's warranty. Later adjustments to doors and drawers are carried out by arrangement.
