Hello everyone, I am currently planning to modify my Ikea BESTÅ system specifically for use in the hallway and have a few specific questions.
I want to adapt the BESTÅ so that it provides enough storage space for shoes, jackets, and small everyday items, while also fitting visually into the hallway – keeping it tidy and not too bulky.
How can I effectively remodel or expand the BESTÅ? What types of doors, shelves, or additional elements do you use in hallway installations? Are there any clever tips to optimize storage space, especially for hallways that often have limited square meters?
I am really looking forward to your ideas and advice!

To be honest: BESTÅ in the hallway? I sometimes think it’s overrated. The standard depth of 40 cm (16 inches) can quickly become a stumbling block in narrow hallways.
Here lies the problem – if the hallway is 1.8 m (6 feet) wide, only 1 m (39 inches) remains for walking space. That often makes quick entry and putting on shoes difficult. I would rather opt for slimmer, custom-made furniture or build something myself.
But if you want to stick with BESTÅ, I recommend really limiting it to the essentials and maybe even removing the doors – although open shelves are visible, they provide easier access.
