Ready for some front foyer ideas that can help you transform your home’s chaos into calm? Let’s go!
Establish a Welcome Center
Whether you have an entry hall or mudroom, the area that’s first seen in your home should be warm and welcoming (with just a touch of practicality). Start with a narrow table that can hold items like purses and wallets, but make sure to establish a sense of order so it doesn’t get cluttered. For example, you could use a wicker basket.Personalize the area with some framed family photos or artwork from your children or grandchildren.
Set Up a Shoe Station
Nothing seems to need a dash of entryway organization more than footwear. You can begin with a welcome mat made of jute, coconut fiber or some other material that will help remove dirt and debris from the bottoms of shoes. Additionally, organize shoes.If you live in a region that sees a lot of snow or rain, you may want to set up a boot tray lined with pebbles or river stones. This will not only keep family members from tracking wet grime across the floors, it will give shoes a place to dry and also looks more attractive than a plain plastic boot tray.
Hang ‘Em High
Hooks can be an organizational lifesaver when it comes to getting your entry hall in order. You can use different-sized hooks to keep a variety of items in check, such as keys, purses and bookbags, hats, coats and even leashes. The added bonus is that when these items are out of the way on your wall, they aren’t cluttering up entryway tables or getting tossed in other parts of the house.For more entryway organization inspiration, check out this post on keeping your mudroom tidy.
