Practical Ideas for Making the Most of your Entryway

1) Maximize Storage: In our temperate climate, it’s amazing how quickly the weather can change, and we have all the gear to match. So maximizing your entryway’s storage capacity is key. Cabinets or shelves that go up to the ceiling can maximize storage, while a bench below allows items to be reached easily.

I love how each person gets a cubby with their own set of hooks to manage. This would work well with a large family, or for a smaller family, you could have fewer cubbies. (Image from Pinterest)

2) Maximize Efficiency: For everyday items, easy to reach storage, like a drop surface and coat hooks, allows for grab-and-go for coats, purses, keys, and backpacks.

3) Hide clutter: Entryways can easily become visually cluttered, so having some enclosed storage, such as cabinets or baskets, makes it so you don’t have to see everything you have all at once.
