Tips for Entryway Closets
-
Store the essentials
Only store things in an entryway closet that need to be near the door for easy access. Clutter makes a closet difficult to use in a rush. -
Add rails for coat storage
Keep your coats hidden by installing rails in the closet. Having different levels of rails can maximize space and cater for different heights. -
Use space on the inside of the door
Install hooks on the inside of the door for bonus storage. These are perfect for hanging shopping or tote bags for grabbing on your way out. -
Use storage boxes for a tidy closet
Battle clutter by keeping items in designated storage boxes. These can be stacked to create extra space. -
Install shelves for more storage
Divide your closet into shelves to keep things tidy. Having lower shelves for shoes and upper shelves for bags creates an efficient layout.
