Wooden Shoe Cupboards for Tiny Entrances: Slim, Tall and Clever
Many UK homes have an entrance that is little more than a square of floor between the front door and the next room. In a space that small, the most effective wooden shoe cupboard is usually tall and slim rather than low and wide. Going up instead of out uses wall height that would otherwise sit empty. In this guide we explain why the approach works, then set out what to look for in a slim wooden cupboard: depth first, the right door type, a suitable wood and finish, handles that will not catch sleeves and a top at a useful height. We share clever ways to use the walls around the cupboard with hooks, mirrors and shelves, and placement ideas for awkward entrances with stairs, meters or doors that open into living rooms. You will also find advice on editing what lives by the door, caring for wood near an entrance and style ideas to suit different homes....
