In addition to the lockers for clothes, you need to purchase a small wall stool in the corridor, designed for shoe shoes. This piece of furniture is available in various types.

• Bench with storage system. Unlike the previous view, it is additionally equipped with convenient and roomy drawers. They are installed under the seat. Boxes can be either classic wooden or wicker, plastic.

• Bench and pouf. They are characterized by small size. Compared to a pouf, a banquet can accommodate several people. The main drawback of the products is the small height, so sitting on them and changing shoes is uncomfortable.

The upper plane of the product is used as a seat; a soft mattress is usually placed on its top. In the lower part of the seat-stands, you can store different things.

• Seat in the closet. If there is a large closet in the corridor, then you can place a built-in and comfortable mini-chair in it. This is a fairly functional and interesting option.

The stool in the hallway is considered not only an important thing, but also an original element of decor. So that it harmoniously fits into the overall design of the room, before buying you need to take into account many nuances, namely:

• functionality that is required from furniture;
• number of people living in the house;
• corridor area;
• color and decor, which should be combined with other pieces of furniture;
• structural strength (seat and support elements);
• material of manufacture (vine, metal, plastic, wood or rattan).

In the hallway you can put chairs with a hard and soft seat, the choice depends on personal preferences. If desired, the stool is supplemented with a soft removable pillow, its fabric cover is selected for the general color palette of the room. If the hallway has a monochrome interior, then such a chair can become a bright accent, filling the space with contrast. When choosing a folding soft type of stool, attention should be paid to the quality of the upholstery:

• it should be easy to clean, and the soft layer should have a thickness of foam rubber, batting or padding polyester at least 4 cm;
• have durability;
• combine with the interior of the hallway.

If you carefully handle such upholstery, then it will last a long time. As for the leather, it gives the furniture a solid look, durable, but expensive. As a budget option, a chair with fabric upholstery is perfect, but in this case you need to choose a material with special impregnation, which will protect the surface from quick pollution.

The strength of the frame structure, which is usually made of laminated fiberboard (chipboard), forged elements, metal or wood, also plays a huge role. Each of the above options has its disadvantages and advantages.

• Wood is a durable material, but it looks bulky. It should be chosen for large halls decorated in a classic style.All elements of this design must be securely fixed with glue and spikes.
• Particleboard is suitable for those with a limited family budget. In such models, you should pay attention to the integrity of the surface film, which acts as an imitation of wood.
• Metal is ideal for those who value reliability and affordable price at the same time. The main thing is that its surface be coated with powder paint or a layer of chromium, which will prevent the appearance of corrosion. It is recommended to choose folding chairs with a metal frame for corridors decorated in the style of minimalism, loft and high-tech.
• Forged Products. This version of furniture will help to give the hallway a special uniqueness. However, such chairs are expensive and have a lot of weight.

In addition to all of the above, before purchasing a folding or wall stool in the hallway, it is important to determine its location. Also, the presence of additional functions in the design does not hurt. This will make the piece of furniture more comfortable.
