Entrance hall?
Vestibule if you're being posh.

If it was off the kitchen/just for washing machines etc I'd call it a utility room

It’s actually a small separate room. You come into the apartment and you are in the entrance hall. The next you do is open the door on the right to you and you have a small 5 square meter room there where are jackets, shoes, a washing machine, etc. so when going out or coming into the apartment that’s the first/last place to go.

I also thought about utility room

we call that Garderobe, without wanting to be posh...

Vestibule I like 😉

In German Garderobe is used, yeah. But it’s a broad meaning. It could be just hangers mounted to the wall in the entrance hall, which then would be a Garderobe. Or it could be a small room used as Garderobe.

And toilets as I see with image search 🤣

A cloak room is a room for storing clothing, usually off the entrance

Thanks, I’ll use cloakroom for the room name in the future and will start the process of educating the family renaming the shoe room to cloakroom. This will take a few years 🤣
