Narrow entryway: wall storage that doesn't clutter the floor

Entrée étroite : le rangement mural qui n’encombre pas le sol - Aire

Summary — In a tiny hallway or small entryway, the solution isn't another piece of furniture, but a wall that works . The wall-mounted pegboard (perforated panel) attaches with four small holes and accommodates hooks, shelves, and bins that can be moved without drilling new ones. The result: everything is within easy reach, the floor remains clear, and your space is organized.

What is a pegboard?

A perforated panel with a regular grid of holes. Accessories (hooks, shelves, bins, elastic bands) are added and repositioned as needed, depending on the season, habits, or occupants. For rentals, the installation remains reversible : four small anchor points can be neatly closed at the start.

Why it's ideal for a narrow entrance

  • Zero ground footprint : we maintain smooth passage.

  • Ultra-modular : you can adjust the space for keys, bags, mail... without drilling any new holes.

  • Clear reading : we see, we place, we leave (no more illegal dumping on the door handle).

7 ready-made ideas

  1. A neat storage solution : a mini shelf + a small tray for cards, mail and gel.

  2. Key bar : 5–6 short hooks at eye level, plus 2 “guest” hooks.

  3. Bag & helmet hook : one sturdy hook for everyday bags, another for bicycle helmets.

  4. Dog/cat station : 2 hooks (leash/harness) + 1 tray (treats/pouches).

  5. Glasses & accessories : shallow mini shelf + charger hook/badge holder.

  6. Small spare shoes : thin shelf 10–15 cm from the floor for the pair of the day.

  7. Going-out catch-all : elastic bands/cleats for gloves and hat, + mailbox for mail “to be posted”.

Tip: Start with 6–8 hooks , 1–2 shelves , 1–2 bins . Then adjust in 10 seconds, without drilling new holes.

Express installation (tenant-friendly)

Mark four points at the corners, drill cleanly, insert suitable wall plugs, and screw the panel in place. Add the accessories, test for a week, then reposition if necessary. Keep a small patching kit for when you need it installed.
