Choosing a chest of drawers with a mirror for the hallway

No hallway can be imagined without a mirror and a chest of drawers - these are things that must be. In addition to their practical function, they should also be attractive and harmoniously fit into the design of the hallway. Before choosing furniture, you need to complete all the repair work, after that it will be easier to determine the size of the chest of drawers.

When working on the design of the hallway, you can look into the catalogs so as not to miscalculate with the choice and pick up those elements of the corridor that will be relevant even after a few years. A chest of drawers, coupled with a mirror, combines several functions, in addition, a correctly selected model can emphasize the refined taste of its owners.

When choosing a chest of drawers, do not forget about the size of your hallway. It may happen that any purchased model you like turns out to be too bulky when placing furniture - this fact will upset anyone. Therefore, you should not rush to buy - first you need to measure the space, and only after that select the appropriate model.

Please note: the cheapest and easiest material to process and install is plastic.

• Corner chest of drawers with mirror and shelves used in order to maximize the use of the corner of the hallway. But it should be understood that such a model is quite voluminous and is suitable only for a large corridor. In a small corridor it will be quite appropriate to look at a chest of drawers with sliding doors like a "compartment".

• Curbstone. Ideal for those who use the entryway cupboard as storage.In addition, it is very convenient to leave things on the countertop - for example, a notebook with important notes, a hairbrush, keys to the door and car, and when leaving the house, you can look in the mirror.

• Narrow. A compact stylish chest of drawers is a real find for a small corridor. Some models are very convenient and practical, for example, if you choose a narrow chest of drawers higher, then a large number of things will fit in it, and it will not lose at all to other models in terms of functionality. You can also choose a non-standard model, in which the mirror is located not at the top of the chest of drawers, but next to it, creating a single duet.

• Cupboard. A chest of drawers is an excellent solution for a hallway of any size. On the one hand, it falls out of the category of dressers in size, and on the other hand, it replaces a traditional wardrobe, only it takes up much less space. In addition to functional elements of furniture, such a monolithic structure has another plus - it is cheaper than individual items.

• Embedded. This type of chest of drawers is an innovation in the furniture industry. A wardrobe with a mirror for the hallway is selected specifically in color to the rest of the furniture, thereby creating a single ensemble. The chest of drawers is made of laminated chipboard panels, has no decorative elements.

It is important to consider not only the functionality and appearance of the chest of drawers, but also pay attention to the mirror, because this is a very important element of the decor. Among the abundance of various models of mirrors, the chance to choose the right one is guaranteed. A correctly selected model is able to hide the imperfections of a room or visually expand it.

• Multipart. Such a mirror is more of a decorative element than a functional product. For those who value the appearance of the hallway, and it is not so important that not all elements in it will be used for their intended purpose, you can experiment. Multipart mirrors are those that are made in the form of dew droplets to simulate a broken mirror.

• Aged. Such a mirror looks unusual in the interior of the hallway and does not require additional decorations, it itself is one. But it is not suitable for any style - for luxurious classics, for example, just right. Gilded, silver, or antique bronze mirrors are suitable. Do not forget that the antique mirror is very many years old, so if you have superstitions, it is better to refuse it.

• Backlit. It is a beautiful and functional entryway decor item. It illuminates the corridor well with LED lamps, in addition, the light reflected in the mirror creates the feeling that the space has expanded. A small hallway mirror with illumination will make it more interesting and fill it with space. Mirrors come in a variety of shapes, some of which are quite bizarre.

• Panoramic. This type of product allows you to examine yourself from different angles, which is very convenient. It has a concave or convex shape and is characterized by the famous fish-eye effect.

• Figured. Quite a popular product that can transform even a boring hallway. A mirror, consisting of several parts or one, will perfectly complement the chest of drawers. But the main rule in a figured mirror consisting of several elements is that the main part is always larger than others. It can be in any frame and in various sizes.

• Facet. Resembles a mirror with LED lighting. It scatters light and creates sunbeams throughout the space.

Of course, the chest of drawers should match the overall style of the corridor. For example, for the classics, one thing is acceptable and the other is unacceptable, and the high-tech style welcomes a chest of drawers with gloss... Based on the style and you need to proceed, which automatically facilitates the choice.

The second thing you should pay attention to is whether the model is functional, whether everything you need will fit into it. For example, a small cabinet in the interior of the hallway will add charm, but it is unlikely that you will be able to store many things in it. Many people strive to minimize the congestion with furniture by choosing small dressers with mirrors for the hallway, however, things falling out of it will quickly become boring.

Thus, you need to choose a model based on your own requirements: if there is no purpose to store a lot of things, then a compact cabinet is quite suitable - it will at least be possible to store gloves, an umbrella, keys in it. But if there are a lot of things and a problem with their storage constantly arises, then you should not minimize the presence of furniture and its dimensions, because difficulties will inevitably arise in the future.

A dark chest of drawers with a mirror (walnut, brown, coffee) goes well with light walls. You should not choose bright models for the hallway. (e.g. red, blue, yellow dressers), because soon from the effect that the furniture will have, you will feel tired.

To this day, the preferred colors are classic light or dark colors: brown, gray, beige, milky, white. A chest of drawers under a natural wood will fit into almost any interior, which is important to know about. You also need to remember that the presence of protruding handles can be inconvenient if the corridor is narrow, because clothes will cling to them all the time.

A chest of drawers with a mirror is definitely a good solution. It should be comfortable to be in the corridor not only for you, but also for your guests. A large selection of models will help you choose the right chest of drawers that will bring comfort and harmony to your home. A correctly selected model will last a long time and will not cause the desire to change the old chest of drawers to a new one.
