Hello!
For the past two years, I've been trying to come up with a solution for my hallway, and now it's really time for me to set up some hallway storage. I really can't decide on a good solution, so I need your help.
The problem is as follows. When you enter my hallway, there's a space to the right that's perfect for storage, but there's a fuse box, etc., on the same wall as the door (to the right in the picture, that is). If they were on the wall next to it, it wouldn't be a problem. So, I need to build some kind of storage with enough space in front to be able to access them.
What I would really like to do is as in the sketch I've drawn. To have some kind of removable panel so that you can take it off and access the boxes. But I'm unsure how to create such a panel. It would be tall and heavy—would magnets hold it? How do I make it "blend in" so that it almost looks like part of the wall?
My latest solution, which is the simplest, is to build a wall and then use a curtain that can be drawn aside for the fuse boxes. Then put up a coat rack and have a shoe rack on the floor.
But it wouldn't look as nice as a custom-built solution.
The kitchen is directly connected to the hallway, so I don't want to put up two closets as I don't want the doors making the hall look like part of the kitchen. I've also thought about sliding doors with mirrors, but that doesn't really fit the style I have in the rest of the apartment.
Fingers crossed that someone has a great idea or has done something similar before!

An L-shaped sliding hatch in front of the central unit, and below it, you build a row of compartments/shelves. The shelves can be turned towards the clothes rod. Perfect for hats, reflectors, lamps, and other items that usually don’t have a place in a hallway but belong there.
