8 Cool Ideas for Decorating a Tiny Entryway

What to do if there's little space, darkness, and narrowness in the entryway? Based on designer projects, we show how even the tightest space can be easily transformed.

Glass Partition

To let in more light and visually expand the small entryway, designer Oleg Mintz suggested removing the solid wall and replacing it with a glass one. Now, natural light from the living room enters the space.

Diagonal Floor Layout

Designers often use this trick for decorating small spaces: Natalia Krasnoborodko chose ceramic granite in a plank pattern. To avoid cluttering the entryway, they selected visually light furniture.

Perforated Board

Need more space for hangers? Take a cue from designer Alena Eremenko — in her project, she used a perforated board where you can hang light jackets and coats. There's also a small wardrobe for the rest of your clothes.

Mirror Door

A mirror in the entryway doesn’t have to be just on the wall. If you have very little space, place it directly on the door, as in Cubiq Studio’s project. White walls help enhance the effect, as everyone knows — light tones expand the space.

Plywood and Rafter Box

To save space, designers from INT2 Architecture installed a universal plywood and rafter box in the tiny entryway. You can hang clothes on one side, and use the other side as a bookshelf.

Reflections + Dark Ceiling

You'll be surprised, but the area of this entryway is only three square meters. Studio Michael Novinsky’s designers used an interesting trick: they covered the wardrobe frame with mirrored panels. The low ceiling was visually lifted using graphite-toned paint.

Integrated Wardrobe

An ideal solution for anyone who wants to get rid of everything unnecessary and keep only the essentials. In addition to the wardrobe, designer Diana Ponomareva included just a small shelf with a drawer for keys and other small items.

Open Shelf

If you can store all your clothes in a wardrobe, place an open shelf in the entryway. You can hang items and put shoes there. Designers from We Create Studio added green plants to the shelf — it looks fresh and stylish.
