The entryway is one of the places inside the home which can be a perfect storage spot. Here are some entryway storage ideas to help keep things inside the home clean and organized.
Real Simple provided a couple of inspirations and ideas on how to make the entryway the perfect storage space for frequently used footwear and other items. The site suggested giving the spot some color by doing a paint job and adding texture with the use of bins and boxes where you can place shoes and other items like outdoor toys. For homes with large families, delegate a spot for each box or bin so that things won't get mixed in and items can be easily found.
The floor is also a space that is rarely used in the side of the entryway. Take advantage of that space by adding shoe racks and even small shelves for shoes and other footwear. It is the best place to store frequently used shoes like the ones used for quick grocery runs or footwear used to take the dog out for a walk. A simple organizer is available at amazon.com for only $50.
Shoes and toys are not the only items you can store in the entryway space. The entryway can also be the best place to store sports gear and items like balls or rackets. Use metal bins to store tennis rackets or baseball bats along with basketball balls and soccer balls.
Keys and mails are other items which can be perfectly stored by the entryway. Use the wall behind the door and add hooks and small built-in shelves where car and house keys can be kept. Adding a small basket pinned on the wall is also a good idea to store mail. You also can use a magnetic shelf available at meriwetherfieldgear.com to make sure the keys are easily found.
