Your entryway plays an integral part in how visitors perceive your home, so these charming entryway ideas -- which combine storage with style -- will set the perfect atmosphere to welcome guests.
Make sure that your entryway is functional by adding plenty of storage. A coat rack, console table for hats and scarves or wall-mounted organizer will all help keep things in order year-round.
An elegant wood console table can make an entranceway feel larger with ease. Designer Amanda Barnes created this slim console which boasts eye-catching sculpture and minimalist Lucite tray ideal for dropping keys and tote bags. Incorporating stylish wall art as well as two comfy upholstered stools completes this streamlined look.
Wall-mounted shoe racks can help keep footwear organized in your entryway, with many DIYers like Grillo Designs using an upcycled bookcase to craft one such rack that features hooks for jackets as well as an upper shelf for coats, scarves, and handbags. Handy labels make keeping track of everything easier.
Be creative and unleash your inner artist by designing an original gallery wall in the entryway. Gina Gutierrez of Gina Rachelle Design did just this to add drama and personality to her home; painting the wall behind her door in rich blue added drama while hanging artwork by children, flowers, pressed stems, photos, etc. as personal touches added a personalized feel in her entryway.
