We all know that different house types have different layouts.

So how to install a shoe cabinet when the living room is right at the entrance? Let's take a closer look!

How to install a shoe cabinet when the living room is right at the entrance

The living room is right at the entrance, so the shoe cabinet can be installed near the entrance door. This makes it convenient to change shoes when entering and leaving the house, and avoids bringing dirt into the room.

Outside the entrance

Nowadays, many apartment types have independent elevator halls, which are equipped with password locks and independent entrances. In this case, you can place the shoe cabinet in the elevator hall outside the entrance door without worrying about losing your belongings. Or if the area outside the entrance door is relatively independent and does not affect the neighbors' entry and exit, you can also place it, but it is unsafe and generally not allowed by the property management.

Inside the entrance door

In most cases, it is placed indoors, near the entrance door. There are generally three locations: the left side, the right side, and the front. It is usually better to place it on the left and right sides. The main purpose of placing it in front of the entrance door is to make a foyer and facilitate the installation of the shoe cabinet.

The entrance faces the living room and balcony. In this case, install a shoe cabinet in front of the entrance door as a partition to prevent the entrance door from facing the living room and balcony. At the same time, make an entrance hall. There is a way to completely partition with a cabinet, or you can make a shoe cabinet at the bottom and a partition at the top, so that the permeability is better. Or you can directly place the shoe cabinet without a partition.

The entrance is directly opposite the living room balcony. The shoe cabinet can be placed on the wall side, and a hollow partition can be made directly opposite the entrance door.

If the door is directly opposite the sofa in the living room, you can place a shoe cabinet next to the sofa to block the side of the sofa.

The entrance door is on the sofa wall or TV wall in the living room, and a shoe cabinet is placed against the wall. The shoe cabinet can be combined with the TV cabinet or placed independently.

Shoe cabinet production and installation

After choosing the location of the shoe cabinet, you can use custom furniture for design and production, or you can find a carpenter to make it yourself, or you can go to a furniture mall to buy it, and now you can also buy it online. Customized styles are beautiful and match the site well. Carpentry production is fast, the site match is the highest, the finished product is economical and easy to install. Online shopping is economical, easy to choose, and the guarantee is poor.

Shoe cabinet style and size

Shoe cabinets are generally panel furniture, usually with a thickness of about 300 cm and a height of about 80-120 cm. The style of the shoe cabinet is determined according to the decoration style. If the site size is tight, you can choose a thin shoe cabinet with a thickness of 15-25 cm. If the site size is more spacious, you can make a thicker shoe cabinet or a coat cabinet with a thickness of about 450-500.

Determine the decoration style → measure the size on site → design the shoe cabinet style → carpentry or customization → installation upon arrival.
