30 Shoe Storage Bench with Cushion Layouts for Awkward Hallway Corners

Awkward hallway corners are often the most wasted space in a UK home, yet they can become one of the most useful. In this guide we share 30 shoe storage bench layouts with cushions, grouped by the type of corner you are working with: L shaped junctions, shallow alcoves, the space beside the staircase, the busy area by the front door and irregular corners with pipes or sloping ceilings. Each layout explains how to place the bench, what to pair it with and how to keep the walkway clear. We also cover how to choose a cushion that is comfortable and easy to clean, the seat height and depth that suit most adults, and how much room to leave for doors and radiators.
