A small element of the interior, with the help of which the room becomes visually spacious. He is also able to give a harmonious look to the hallway as a whole. Finally, it makes your stay in the hallway much more comfortable. What is it about? About a cabinet with a mirror in the hallway.

The entrance hall is the “face” of the apartment, therefore it is necessary to choose and arrange furniture correctly to create a cozy atmosphere.

Peculiarities

A cabinet with a mirror is a kind of compact wardrobe with drawers, shelves and a mirrored canvas. The size and shape are very different.

Chests of drawers with a mirror for this room are a functional type of furniture that has many advantages.

Such designs have several advantages:

• The main advantage is the presence of a mirror, because now you do not need to choose a mirror, decide on the frame and its location.
• Often the model is a single whole, therefore, if desired, the place of its "dislocation" is easily changed.
• Strong and reliable frame guarantees a long service life.

Furniture such as a chest of drawers with a mirror performs several functions at once: storage of things and the ability to contemplate yourself before going out.

• Multifunctionality. There are models in which the mirror has an additional shelf on top for hats; pedestals in which the mirrors are equipped with illumination are also in demand. Well, a lot of additional drawers and shelves allow you to keep the little things you need in proper order: keys, care products for clothes and shoes, cosmetics and much more.
• Such cabinets are sold as complete sets for hallways, or separately.
• The assortment in furniture stores guarantees the right choice for any hallway. As a last resort, it is always possible to order a cabinet according to individual parameters.

Such furniture visually enlarges the hallway space.

Varieties

There are two main types of corridor mirrors:

• Combined model, when the curbstone and mirror are a single module;
• Separate model: the mirror is made in the same style as the cabinet, but requires a separate hanging.

The first option is the most in demand. Firstly, it is appreciated for its ease of installation - there is no need for unnecessary actions, and secondly, it can be easily moved to any other place.

It harmoniously fits into any interior, as it has many models and colors.

Also, the curbstones are divided into open and closed. In the first case, the models are made of expensive materials: wood, metal. The main advantage is that the shoes do not absorb foreign odors and are well ventilated. Well, the disadvantage of such pedestals is the rapid accumulation of dust.

It will look relevant both in the classics and in the modern style.

If the cabinet is closed, a more harmonious interior is created, all items are reliably protected from prying eyes and dust.

Looks compact in the hallway and does not take up much space.

Finally, there is a division of bedside tables into wall-mounted and floor-standing ones. Usually the former are lighter, but you need to control the weight of the content. In addition, hanging pedestals will save a little space in the corridor. A shoe rack or umbrella stand is often placed under them. But floor structures are more reliable and stable. And you don’t have to worry about the fact that they will not support the weight of the content - you can put whatever you want in them.

The chest of drawers holds a lot of things. From small accessories (keys, hairbrush, pen) to clothes and shoes.

Also, the floor stands have a soft seat - this is an additional bonus for the owners, because it is so nice to come home after a hard day, sit on a comfortable ottoman and give yourself a couple of minutes of rest. Then take your shoes off at your own pace, put your shoes back in place and enjoy a pleasant evening with your family.

Furniture pricing policy allows you to choose a model for any wallet.

Mirrors design

The most original solutions in the design of mirrors:

• Curly. The shape of such mirrors is very different: a flower, a silhouette of a person or an animal, the sun, and so on. They are often used without any frame.

If the mirror is hinged and is located above the surface of the chest of drawers, then installing the mirror involves drilling the wall for hooks or screws.

• With facet cutting. A special cut creates the effect of reflecting the sun's rays. Such reflective surfaces always have a presentable appearance and also do not require a frame.

The faceted mirror is a delight of modernity and the result of the fact that decorators have introduced more and more unusual details into fashion.

• Multi-part mirror elements. This option resembles a panel and creates a unique interior.

Multi-part mirrors look original in the interior.

• Colored mirror. Despite the color, the mirror retains its reflectivity and looks unusual. Such an element will decorate any interior.

Colored mirrors are another trend this year.

How to choose the right one

Choosing a bedside table with a mirror for the corridor, it is not enough to be guided only by the price and appearance. There are several aspects that deserve close attention.

Furniture in the hallway must be strong, reliable and made of quality materials.

1. The quality of the curbstone. When buying, be sure to ask the seller for documents confirming quality standards and norms of the production process. In addition, if you are offered furniture at a very low price, this is a reason to be wary.
   

   Particleboard and MDF are the most popular raw materials for furniture making.

2. Reliability. An unstable cabinet with a mirror can seriously harm your health and the health of your loved ones, therefore, by purchasing a structure, make sure the mirror is securely fastened, the legs (if any) are stable, and the doors remain in place during opening and closing.
   

   The variety of colors of the facade will help you choose a chest of drawers for any color scheme of the hallway.

3. Mechanisms work. The fact that the mechanisms are installed inside the cabinet does not mean that they function correctly. Be sure to check how doors or shelves slide out (open or slide out). Any creak indicates low quality, because ideally the mechanism should work silently. Closers and rollers should work smoothly, without jerking.
   

   A narrow chest of drawers is an excellent option for a small corridor.

4. Shape and size. Before buying a cabinet, take accurate measurements. This is especially important for small hallways. If there is not enough space, and the model has already been brought, what to do with it? Where to put and how to use?
   

   A chest of drawers made of solid wood is considered elite furniture that is suitable for a luxurious and aristocratic atmosphere of the room.

5. Examine the mirror carefully. There should be no smudges or irregularities on it. The connection to the pedestal must be secure, roll of the reflective surface or wobbling is unacceptable.
   

   The presence of drawers and shelves allows you to store a decent amount of things.

6. When choosing a material, take into account the fact that dust and dirt accumulate in the hallway, there may be drips, so the surface of the bedside table should not "react sharply" to wet cleaning.
   

   The chest of drawers is a practical combination of two designs.

7. Often, a cabinet in the hallway is not the only piece of furniture, which means that it should be combined with the rest. If your corridor is decorated in a classic style, then the ideal choice is a small cabinet decorated with engraving or carving. Well, since the classics love light, the way the mirror will be large and visually makes the space larger.
   

   Various types and dimensions of this design will allow you to place it in any hallway.

8. Modern and high-tech styles do not really favor combined models. Usually a curbstone of a laconic shape and a similar mirror are chosen. For an eco-style, the main thing is that environmentally friendly materials are used, ideally wood. Well, the pop art style will be reflected in a cabinet with a mirror and lighting, reminiscent of an element of an artistic dressing room. It is difficult to imagine a loft-style hallway without such a piece of furniture. It will be a drawer unit of the correct geometric shape, with drawers and open shelves. The frame of the mirror repeats the overall laconic concept. It is better if it is made of dark wood.
   

   This type of furniture rationally uses the area of ​​the room.

As you can see, a cabinet with a mirror is a great idea for any hallway. It will help you keep order and make the process of shoeing and dressing comfortable. Finally, thanks to her, the room will acquire a harmonious, complete look.
