We equip the entrance hall: how to choose the mechanism for the shoe?

The problem of storage and placement of shoes is familiar to every family. Especially it is close to those people who live in large families. Usually the hallways are not large, and storing shoes in cabinets is not always convenient, and they occupy a lot of places. The solution to this problem can be the acquisition of a compact and multifunctional design, and the mechanism for the shoe should be chosen based on one's own preferences.

Size matters

If you have a relatively large space, your choice of shoe models is not limited. Many designs consist of several tiers, where the part is intended for storing shoes, and the other for other items. Also they can become an interesting element of the decor or simply an ergonomic acquisition.
For owners of houses with small hallways, too, there are excellent options. Do not need to chase large dimensions, because they can not guarantee the roominess for all available shoes. There are models that, at first glance, are fairly compact, but properly selected, for example, a folding mechanism for the shoe, allows you to accommodate a decent number of shoes.

What is the design of?

In stores you can find shoes made of different materials. The most common are the following:

• Particleboard, wood, plywood.

• Metal.

• Plastic.

When choosing a particular model, one should take into account the fact that only the first pass through the air. In turn, metal and plastic can not boast of such characteristics. Therefore, shoes from such material can only be opened, otherwise the shoes simply will not dry out and be ventilated. In this case, the mechanism for the shoe and other fastening elements should be made of strong types of metal. At more budgetary variants instead of metal designs it is possible to meet plastic.

Types of shoes

Having defined the dimensions and material, you can proceed to the most difficult task - the choice of the model itself. Today, the market for goods is represented by a huge number of various designs. Some have a fairly simple and classic look, and some surprise with their design decision. It is important to take into account the interior features of the room and the functionality of individual samples.

Consider the most popular types of shoes.
• The most common and simple form of construction is a certain rack of several sections - there is no mechanism for the shoe in them. In the people they are also called galoshnitsami. This kind of product is quite cheap and has both pluses and minuses. The positive side is the fact that the shoes are constantly breathing. If you place on the shelf wet shoes, they will dry out after a certain time and do not prohibit. Another plus is the ability to use the upper tier as a seat by placing a puff or pillow on it. Such a design solution will be an interesting highlight, as well as make the lower levels and the shoes placed on them more invisible. Among the minuses can be called the fact that all the shoes are in sight. Sometimes it does not look very aesthetic and creates a sense of confusion. • Another type, which is widely used in arranging hallways, is a shoe cabinet. It can be of different length and width. From the first kind, this model is distinguished by the presence of doors that hide the contents. Among the minuses can be identified quite a massive structure and poor air conduction. Place wet shoes in such a space is strictly prohibited.
• The last view is a cabinet-slim with folding compartments. This allows you to save space very efficiently. Depending on whether a conventional, 2-sectional, or 3-sectional mechanism is used for the shoe, the capacity is increased. This is ideal for small rooms. But, despite the large capacity, the sections differ in a rather narrow space, so there is hardly room for boots there.

Summing up

As you can see, today there is a huge selection of different models of women who are able to satisfy any wishes. But if a suitable option for some reason was not found, the shoe can be made with your own hands. To do this, you need the basic material for the construction, a fastener, for example, a swivel mechanism for the shoe and suitable fittings. Acquiring this detail of the interior, it is important not only to take into account its functionality, but also external characteristics, because it is she who will meet and see off from home. Therefore, its appearance should bring only positive emotions.
