According to the situation in the corridor, according to the things located in it, you can have some idea about the tenants of the apartment.

Kinds
There are two main types into which these interior elements of the room can be divided.
Walls are enclosed racks, as a rule, they have a back wall, and on the front side they are closed with doors or sashes. Often these are several shelves, which can also have several sections. The front side of such shelving is always decorated and creates an attractive appearance. The wall can be made of expensive whole wood, in which case its price will be high.
And also it can be made of modern lightweight materials, and then it will have a lower price.
Frame racks are open shelves in which, as a rule, there is no rear and front wall. They represent several horizontal and vertical partitions of various widths, shapes and patterns. Shelves on such racks can be fixed with various options and shapes of racks. They are mainly made of artificial materials and are most maneuverable, unlike walls.
Design Options
Racks can be of various lengths and heights and are designed to store different items. When choosing a rack, you need to consider the size and quantity of those things that will be located and stored on them.You can place not only the necessary things, but also figurines, figures, vases, photographs and other decorative trifles.
Consider several popular, practical and original design options for shelving for the hallway.
Narrow
Depending on what area your hallway is, you can choose the size of the shelves. In small apartments, narrow racks from floor to ceiling will look more practical and will fit nicely into the interior. This option will allow not only efficient and affordable to place all things, but also save space.
Narrow racks, for example, can be placed on the sides of the front door, as well as on both sides of the mirror, and ideally the mirror can be the same height as the racks.
Wide
Wide racks will look appropriate in large areas, in a large and spacious hallway. To avoid the effect of "clutter", it is better to install wide racks of small height. Due to the width, it will be possible to place a fairly large number of things on them.
These shelf options are best placed along one free wall.

They can be placed both next to the mirror, and, for example, connecting them together along the wall, or placed opposite each other.
