Hello everyone,
I am facing the challenge of better organizing my small hallway and am considering whether the Ikea Platsa furniture could be used effectively for this purpose. My hallway is only about 2 meters (6.5 feet) wide and 3 meters (9.8 feet) long, with a door on the short side and a small wall section next to the entrance door. I am looking for ways to create storage space for jackets, shoes, smaller items like keys, and perhaps even a few decorative elements—without making the area feel cluttered or the walkway too narrow.
Does anyone have specific tips on how to modularly assemble PLATSA units in such a small hallway? Are there particular configurations that make the most of the space, for example combinations with shelves, drawers, or wall cabinets? Advice on color choices or door and drawer styles to keep the overall look airy and practical would also be very helpful.
Looking forward to your experiences and suggestions!

- Use wall mounting to ensure stability
- Build only as deep as necessary to keep at least 80cm (31.5 inches) of clear passage
- Use closed fronts, as they look tidier
- Utilize wall cabinets to avoid losing floor space
- Employ interior organizers (compartments, clothes hooks)
- Prefer white or light colors to visually enlarge the space
- Choose handleless fronts for a modern look and to save space
This way, you achieve a good balance between storage capacity and freedom of movement.

I want to encourage everyone again: With PLATSA, even the smallest hallway can become cozy and functional! Just give it a try, take measurements, plan smartly, and then build.
I also spent time figuring things out and planning, and I’m happy with the result. Small hallways can really make an impact, even though they are often seen as annoying leftover spaces!
You just have to keep at it! 🙂
