Hallway storage, sorted by the front door
A bench, hooks and closed storage by the front door, so coats and shoes have a place on a wet Irish evening.
In short
A Home4U hallway plan fits a 40 cm deep shoe storage bench, keeps a 90 cm path to the door clear and sets coat hooks at 165 cm, with a second row at 110 cm for children.
