How To Organize Your Entryways

How can I organize my entryways?

I think the key to organizing entryways is to think what are the things it makes sense to have in an entryway. Generally, I would say things like keys, sunglasses. An entryway may be a great space for mail because it's where you come in and you've got the mail in your hand. Maybe that's where you put something so that you can address your mail immediately. You want to maybe have a space to hang up your coat or a surface to put your briefcase on if you're going to just leave it there for the night. It's nice if you have a little table with a drawer, or if not a drawer, a bowl that you can put your keys in. A lot of times putting your keys somewhere immediately when you come in helps prevent from the trying to desperately look for your keys when you're trying to leave and you don't remember, you're retracing your steps, ok, which room did I go in first when I walked in. So it's great to have that, or your sunglasses, so that you can grab them on your way out. A lot of times people like to put things like cameras and little electronic equipment that, again, they'll be wanting to grab on their way out, also in the entryway. I think the key is to figure out what you want to keep there and then what you need to have in order to keep it there. Like I said, a bowl, maybe for keys and sunglasses, a couple of baskets to throw magazines or mail you're going to open later on, things like that. And that way you can prevent a lot of clutter happening in your entryway.
