• A product with a depth of 20 to 25 centimeters will ideally fit into a narrow and long corridor.
• The color, texture and design of furniture depends entirely on the stylistic orientation of the interior. Classic, Scandinavian or Provence style is characterized by softer features and warm bleached shades.
• The dimensions of the product also determine its functional purpose. A large and roomy design assumes storage of shoes and a sufficient number of things. For small items and accessories, a hanging model or a chest of drawers with small shelves is suitable.
