Hallway, practical ideas?

Hi all,

I have a practical question about the hallway, and would very much appreciate creative ideas!

So, we have moved back on the ladder after a couple of years abroad and now we have two small kids. Our hallway is long and narrow, and has very little room for closet/shelves/hooks. So when we enter, especially all four of us we simply do not know where to put all our stuff: two prams, shoes, bike helmets, and in winter time hats, gloves, jackets, boots... They now end up in random places in nearby rooms where we have some temporary shelves, or on the stair post cap...

I suppose hallways are long and narrow in most houses around here, so how do people do? We are considering knocking down half the wall of the second room to put make room for a pair of closets but not sure if it is a good idea.

We are grateful for any advice.

Cheers, Jacob

I've always taken the view that I'd rather have a cluttered hallway than have "stuff" all through the house. The stuff has to go somewhere!

We use buggy hooks for our buggies, and hang wet gear over the bath! The buggy hook we found works best (with long screws a must) is this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bugg-Universal-Hanging-System-Stroller/dp/...

Good luck!
