Your entryway sets the tone as soon as you walk into your home—and keeping yours streamlined to avoid clutter makes coming home a delightful experience. From adding seating to increasing storage, you can combine comfort, aesthetics, and organization to create a functional and effective entryway.
Plan by size
Entryways range in size, so understanding your storage needs and the space you have available is the first step when it comes to streamlining your entryway. If you have a small space, sleek furniture and wall storage are key. With a bigger space, you have a wider variety of options for furniture without creating a cramped walkway.
Add a bench
Not only is an entryway bench a great place for you and your guests to have a seat while taking off shoes, but you can even find a bench with built-in storage or add storage cubbies underneath to keep things streamlined and organized.
Boost storage space with a console table
As decorative as they are functional, a console table is a sleek option to maintain organization in small spaces—and they often come with built-in drawers and shelves for additional storage. An entryway console table is a great place for keys, mail, and other things that you would typically grab on your way out or set down on your way into the house.
Hang wall hooks
Keys, backpacks, coats, and more are all things that take up valuable space if they aren’t organized properly. Hanging wall hooks is a great way to keep clutter off the ground in a streamlined way and works well even as seasons change and coats find their way to other storage options.
Add shoes cubbies or a shoe rack
Having a place to store footwear will keep your entryway streamlined and organized while ensuring tripping hazards are kept to a minimum. A shoe cubby can also be a great place to display a little flair: a piece of art that represents your personality, a potted plant, or even an attractive tray for collecting miscellaneous items.
Find a coat rack
Especially if wall hooks aren’t an option, a slim coat rack is a great way to maintain seasonality while keeping clothing and things such as backpacks organized and out of the way. This can be a great way to save space in slimmer entryways as opposed to other freestanding furniture.
