The decision behind the detail
Count coats, bags and shoes used regularly, then separate them from seasonal storage. Test a shallow bench and hooks before assuming a full-depth cupboard is needed.
A useful checklist
- Measure the passage
- List daily belongings
- Plan wet-item surfaces
Bring it into the project brief
Keep the front door and main route usable when someone is sitting or hanging a coat.
