Tips for Organizing an Entryway

Back-to-school season is almost here, and the addition of backpacks, lunch boxes, and sports gear can quickly overwhelm the spaces in your home. Get ahead of the clutter by creating a place for everything in your home’s entryway.

Create a Focal Point with Functional Furniture

The purpose of a focal point is to draw your eye and make a statement, but it can also help your entryway feel more intentional and put together. Use a piece of functional furniture for your focal point, such as a storage bench, a shelf or cabinet, or even a row of hooks. This adds visual interest as well as a helpful storage solution.

Add Lighting

Ensuring your entryway is well-lit will help it stay organized. Add a small lamp with warm-toned bulbs for a cozy feel or cool-toned bulbs for an energetic feel. You can also make use of natural light, and if you’re concerned about privacy, try a sheer or semi-sheer window treatment that still allows light in.

Add Some Color

Give your entryway some personality with color. A piece of artwork, a rug, or even a painted front door are all great ways to add color. You can even add colorful baskets or bins for added storage!
