The entryway is one of the smallest rooms in a house, but that doesn't mean it should be overlooked. On the contrary, the smaller the area, the more thoughtfully designed it should be. The entryway stores many items: from clothes and shoes to scarves, umbrellas, and small accessories. Learn how to organize storage in an entryway as efficiently as possible in this article.

The main principle for decorating a small entryway is minimalism. Only the most essential furniture should remain. Don't forget about a mirror either. Although it doesn't directly relate to storage, it visually expands the space.

1. Wardrobes

If the layout of your entryway allows it, a shallow built-in wardrobe can be used. Sliding doors from floor to ceiling will hide all clothing and accessories, making the entryway look neat.

2. Open Hanging Rails

Scandinavian style has given us many good design elements, including open hanging rails and shelves that don't clutter the space and can look quite neat if kept organized. Using identical hangers (hooks) helps achieve a more harmonious appearance.

3. Built-in Systems

This is a more organized version of open hanging rails and shelves. Use specialized storage systems typically offered for wardrobes. These options are available in IKEA and many home improvement stores. The main advantage of built-in systems is modularity. Depending on the season, you can change their contents. For example, in summer, add more shoe shelves, and in winter, include extra hangers for coats.

4. Shoe Cubbies and Slim Storage Units

The ideal solution for a narrow entryway is using thin storage units and shoe cubbies. These allow you to store plenty of shoes while taking up minimal space in the entryway.

5. Accessories Storage
Suspended shelves allow for storing hats, scarves, and other accessories. For a neater look, store them in baskets or boxes.

A narrow console table placed under a mirror is perfect for placing bags and storing keys, gloves, and other items. You can enhance its functionality with sliding drawers for gloves, clothing brushes, shoe care products, or bills and letters.

6. Storing Small Items
Don't forget about small items like keys, umbrellas, and accessories. If you often misplace your keys, it's worth setting aside a specific place for them. Thanks to the wide variety of designer small items, you'll easily find what suits your taste. The same applies to umbrellas and other small things.
