hall wardrobe


Explanation:
"Szafa sieniowa" to po prostu szafa stojąca w sieni. Po angielsku najczęściej określa się ten mebel mianem "hall wardrobe". Zamiast "hall" można użyć "hallway" lub (rzadko) "vestibule". Zamiast "wardrobe" można użyć "armoire". "Wardrobe" jest dużo częściej spotykane, różnica znaczeniowa pomiędzy nimi jest niewielka - "armoire" niekiedy odnosi się do szafy bardziej zdobnej, a "wardrobe" do szafy prostszej w formie.
