2) Smart Storage That Looks Good
Entryways are notorious for becoming catch-alls. The solution is purposeful storage that’s easy to use and beautiful to look at.
Key Storage Options
- Storage baskets: corral scarves, gloves, and extras
- Console with drawers: hides mail and small items
- Hooks and racks: keep bags and hats visible but tidy
Highlighted pick: Rattan Woven Storage Basket (Large) — perfect for shoes, umbrellas, or blankets.

3) Seating: Comfort Meets Function
Seating in the entryway is not just comfortable — it also prevents clutter from becoming a pile on the floor. Bench seating with hidden storage brings double duty.
Recommended option: Upholstered Entryway Bench with Storage

Good lighting makes your entryway feel intentional and welcoming. Layer ambient lighting with task lighting to create depth.
Lighting Tips
- Overhead light: bright and welcoming
