Stop Clutter at Your Rental’s Entryway! Here’s How!

The entryway is likely the most high-traffic area in your whole home, so it's easy to see why it would accumulate so much clutter. If you're looking for a way to stop yourself (and your guests) from dropping shoes, bags, and coats as soon as you walk in the door, check out these simple tips for reducing entryway clutter.

Add a place for coats. Whether you install a low-profile wall hook or a timeless coat rack, your entryway needs a place to store coats. These multipurpose hooks also make it easy to get scarves, hats and bags off of the floor.
Add a bench for shoes. A classic bench placed under the coat hooks makes it easy to sit while taking shoes on and off, and it makes a great place to store shoes underneath.
Hang a mirror. For those last-minute dashes out the door, a mirror in the entry makes a great place to check your look before leaving the house.
Create a place to store your keys. Whether you hang a designated key hook or an attractive basket on a shelf, creating a place to store your keys right near the front door can save you a lot of headaches in the future!
Brighten things up with a plant. One of the best ways to keep clutter out of the entry is by making this area feel a bit more stylish. Add a potted plant on the floor to deter you from tossing your belongings as soon as your walk in the door.
