Entryway closet ideas are a brilliant way to keep your home organized, but creating an entryway that is both practical and beautiful can be a difficult balance.

Factoring in plenty of closet storage for coats, bags and boots is an essential entryway idea if you don’t have a boot room as it will help keep the hallway clear making the space feel calm, welcoming. Having a clutter-free space will also help set you in a positive frame of mind as you exit the house so that you are ready to tackle the day ahead.

'We recommend choosing pieces that are versatile and work hard for you, for busy family homes, an entryway closet is perfect for housing coats, shoes and keys conveniently by the front door.'

'In old houses, you can be left dealing with awkward nooks and crannies that however hard you try, don't fit conventional cabinets and storage units,' says Melanie Griffiths, editor, Period Living. 'This is where it's best to invest in a joiner who can make you a bespoke entryway closet, the benefits far outweigh the costs as you really get to have what suits you and your family best.'

3. Opt for a mix of storage options

'For a family home, a hallway closest, shoe cupboard and modern entryway bench ideas are perfect to house coats and shoes for all the family,' advises Paul Deckland, The Cotswold Company . 'Using pieces with seating space, is also practical when there are several people leaving the house at once. '

4. Go for a truly bespoke entryway closet

'The entryway is often an under-appreciated area that offers great potential, both for style and shoe storage ideas,' says Ben Burbidge, Managing Director at Kitchen Makers . 'If space is limited, take a creative approach with built in cupboards and drawers. Try to use every available inch and wherever possible opt for dual purpose; such as a seating area with a shoe storage area underneath. 

An entryway is also the perfect space in which to experiment with color, or to add accents that complement the rest of the house,'

5. Make the most of existing features

'Some old houses will come with entry closets that were built-in, potentially for different uses to what one may need today, but nonetheless, really useful spaces that can be converted with hanging and drawer storage for all of your entryway storage needs,' says Andrea Childs, editor, Country Homes & Interiors.

6. Go high with your cabinetry

'The entryway performs as a gateway to the main house and kitchen,' says Ben Hawkswell, senior designer at Roundhouse . 'Therefore, we needed it to be stylish and hard wearing. Our Rough Sawn Oak textured veneer creates a natural feel, while also being durable, so the owners can be confident that it will stand the test of time in this high traffic space.'

'We took advantage of the high ceilings and built the cabinetry over and around the doorway and created a neat little bench in front of the concealed shoe storage dresser.'

7. Paint your entryway closet in a bold color

Liven up entryway ideas for apartments by painting the closet cabinets in a vibrant color. Be sure to use a durable, wipeable finish suitable for use on wood as these are high-traffic areas susceptible to knocks and scrapes.

'Create an all encompassing feel by painting your entryway closet and surrounding walls in a deep navy,' says Lucy Searle, editor-in-chief, Homes & Gardens. 'Add in some invaluable shoe storage, a peg rail to keep all your outdoor essentials in order.'

8. Create a two-tone scheme

A two-tone scheme is a simple way to breathe new life into any existing hallway paint ideas. This design feature means you can incorporate a splash of bold color with a calmer one, as well as making it easier for you to choose between your favourite colors.

'Rich dark greens have a receding quality that gives the illusion of walls being further away, doing away with the myth that smaller spaces should be painted in lighter colors to make them seem bigger,' says Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director at Little Greene .

9. Use symmetry with your entryway closets

Symmetry in interior design creates balance and a feeling of calm – and while it is wonderfully elegant in large rooms, it can also create a feeling of enhanced space in smaller rooms, and those that are very busy.

'In this Cotswold farmhouse, each side of the entrance hall is a mirror image of each other creating symmetry,' says Chris Spink, founder of Hush Kitchens . 'Bespoke floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets stand either side of the door providing a variety of storage options (both closed and open shelving), while useful oak topped benches featuring useful pull-out drawers flank each wall.'

10. Utilize the space under the stairs

'For the space conscious, under stairs ideas for a small entryway are just what you need to ensure one of the most cumbersome parts of the house is not being underused,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens.

‘Awkward spaces like the one under the stairs present the perfect opportunity to be creative,’ says interior designer Emma Sims-Hilditch . ‘We make a point of devising intelligent entryway storage solutions for our clients to help them to get the most out of their home.’

Under stairs cupboards make great entryway closets, offering height at one end for tall tools and appliances. Plus, they can be painted to match the rest of the home, as demonstrated here. 

How do I organize my entryway closet?

The best way to organize an entryway closet is to make a list of everything you need when you enter and exit your home. Good storage makes or breaks an entryway – and you can never have enough hooks, hangers, cupboard and cubbies to keep all your kit in place.

A mix of open and closed cabinets, shelving, hooks, and shoe racks should all figure in your entryway closet ideas.

Traditionally, the closet in the front hall was intended solely as a place for coats, jackets and other weather-related items. However, times have changed.

Today, the hall closets in many homes and apartments are filled with an astonishing number of things not even remotely related to coats, hats, or umbrellas.

What Should Be Stored In A Hall Closet?

It may seem like a no-brainer, but the very first step in organizing your hall closet is simply asking yourself: What should I store in my hallway closet?

It’s true that you can store anything you need to in your hall closet, from outerwear and bags to shoes and extra cleaning supplies. But this question is helpful to consider before you head off to the store to purchase new closet organization shelves, invest in an organization system, or even bust out your DIY tools, because it can be helpful to pare down what you really need to store in your small hall closet. Maybe some of your shoes can be moved into the garage, or maybe you have enough basement storage to store winter coats, hats, and scarves during the warmer months. 

What you store in your hallway closet is ultimately up to you, but ensuring your closet isn’t stuffed to the brim with unnecessary items will help make your life easier when it comes time to implement these organization tips.

The Coat Closet

The coat closet always seems to be an overstuffed mess. Organizing shoes, coats, bags, hats and mittens will help ease the winter morning routine.

1. Hook it up.

A coat closet stuffed full of hangers is always a mess. Those coats never seem to stay put! Swap out a closet rod for a hook hanging system. These coat closets look so much more neat and functional. Plus, kids and adults are more likely to hang their coats on a hook than a hanger.

There’s nothing like having to dig out cleaning supplies from an overstuffed closet to make you lose all motivation for cleaning before you even begin. If your hall closet doubles as a utility closet, we feel for you. Here are some tips for keeping this shared closet orderly and your supplies right at your fingertips.

1. Pretty up a pegboard.

Placing all your cleaning utensils on a pegboard keeps things off the floor and easy to spot when you need them. Check out this utility closet Missy put together on her blog Lookie What I Did. Such an attractive method to organize her tools.

Organization is all about working with what you have to find creative solutions that work for your specific needs.

The Linen Closet

If your hall closet is home to linens, we have some ideas for you, too. Linen closets are usually a small space in every house, so it becomes very easy to just stuff in sheets and towels and forget about it. Once that door closes, the mess is out of sight and out of mind–until you have to find what you’re looking for the next time you go in there.

Having items in bins and baskets creates a more organized space and a linen closet where anyone can put away linens easily. Here are a few linen closet organization ideas to try.

1. Roll instead of fold.

In a home with children, and even for some adults, folding towels and fitted sheets into the perfect square is a chore in itself. So why not roll your linens? Just as it does in a suitcase, the rolling method creates more space and you do not have to worry about an imperfect fold. Carmel from Our Fifth House rolls fitted and flat sheets and sticks them into fabric bins.

Via Simply Organized

2. Did we mention baskets?

Whether you roll or fold your linens to organize them, grouping similar items in baskets will add extra space to every shelf in your closet. Try placing small items in a basket or an under shelf crate to maximize your shelf area and keep you organized.

3. Invest in item-specific organizers.

Add space for unique and hard-to-organize items in your hall closet by seeking out specific organizers sold online or at a home goods store. For example, you’ll never misplace your gift wrapping supplies again after buying one of these mounted wrapping paper caddies.

Via Interior Candy

Bonus: On the topic of gift wrapping, here gift bags are organized by being suspended under a wire rack with hooks. If you have wire shelving in your hall closet, have you ever thought to hang hooks from the bottom for extra storage? Inventive!

Via The Old Park Homestead

4. Divide and conquer.

Tricia and Jason at Simplicity in the South use dividers in their linen closet to keep sheets organized and in place. Dividers like this would also be perfect for towels, too. A stack won’t fall out of place when a divider has got its back.

How to Organize Your Multi-Purpose Hall Closet

What happens when you live in a small space and only have one closet that has to store everything? If you live in a home where your hall closet is a small, but mighty multipurpose storage space, here are some solutions from my own closet makeover to keep everything organized and easy to find.

1. Unify the space with a color theme.

Here is my family’s hall closet. It serves as extra pantry space, the pet supply area, a linen closet, a utility closet, and a game storage space. As you can see, the before was a mess of everything all over the place.

Creating a color scheme sounds silly, but here is my “after.” Since this closet is a drop zone for so many different items, creating a unified color scheme helps it look less cluttered. Do you agree?

I rolled linens into attractive baskets, placed similar pantry items into cute bins, and organized all of the paper products together. This color-coded bin method isn’t only more efficient, but it also simply looks like the closet is well organized and helps my family find what they are looking for.

2. Create zones.

I dedicated zones in my hall closet–basically corners and shelves–to a certain purpose. I now have a game/kids area, a pantry space, a linen area, and a space for cleaners. This closet organization hack helps me find what I need quickly because I know what section of my multi–purpose closet to go to when looking for a specific item.

3. Eliminate the extra.

Is there anything in your closet that can be consolidated or gotten rid of completely? As we mentioned earlier, try to rid yourself of unnecessary items, bulky boxes, or storage containers that take up too much room during the closet organization process. For example, removing the games from their boxes added more shelf space in my closet. Having them stored in smaller containers makes them easier to pull out and put away, and it also rids the closet of a lot of extra clutter and chaos.

This method of eliminating the excess in your hall closet also extends to items like batteries and paper products. Why keep the bulky and oddly shaped battery packaging when I can fit the batteries into a concise bin that matches the rest of my closet? Changes like this help the space look much more organized.

Need some guidance on getting rid of unnecessary items? Our article on The Konmari Closet Method is a great place to get started.


4. Add labels!

There’s nothing worse than taking the time to purge and organize a closet space if your family is just going to destroy it again after a week or so of use. Adding some easy-to-make labels can keep your sanity and your family members in the loop once you’ve finished organizing your hall closet. If you can’t see what is in the basket or bin, label it. This helps you find what you need quickly and also helps other members of your household keep the closet as orderly as they found it.

5. Organize board games with office supplies.

Instead of only looking for bins and baskets in the organization area of the store, a great organizational tip is to search in office supply section or the bathroom storage aisle, too. The perfect resolution for an organization problem may be where you normally wouldn’t look. For example, these document folders ended up being the best storage solution for board games and puzzles.

Small office storage bins keep tiny pieces within reach while these mini file folders were practically made for Monopoly money.


Hall Closet Organization Systems to Keep Stress at Bay

An organized hall closet can be the first step to keeping the rest of your home in order. When you have an orderly and attractive storage space that organizes everything you need, it may inspire you to keep up with your scheduled chores, and get other family members inspired to declutter, too–making it a win-win all around.

All organized? The next step is maintaining your new organizational system. Check out our article on How to Clean a Closet and KEEP It Organized for some helpful tips.

Choosing the type of dressing room - open or closed

Before designing a dressing room, you need to decide on its type - open or closed. Everyone has pros and cons, let's list them.

Open wardrobe

✅ All clothes are in front of you - it's very easy to find the right thing.
✅ An open closet or hanging storage system like a hanger can complement the interior in an original way if you hang clothes by color.
✅ No need to spend money on building materials and furniture to organize a dressing room.
✅ You accustom yourself to order, because with an open type of storage, disorder immediately catches your eye.

❌ Things get dusty.
❌ Things fade.
❌ If things are hung ugly, they spoil the interior.
❌ You cannot hide your belongings from prying eyes if, for example, guests come.

Closed wardrobe

✅ Clothes do not collect dust, which means they wear out less.
✅ Such a dressing room can be organized not only in the bedroom, but also in the hall, hallway or another room.
✅ Fabrics do not fade because sunlight does not penetrate.
✅ You can store things additionally inside the dressing room using covers, boxes, baskets, bags.

❌ Additionally, you need to order materials for arranging the dressing room - walls, mirrors, ottomans, drawers.
❌ We have to allocate a separate room or corner for storing clothes - this is not always possible.
❌ You have to do extra actions to take clothes - go into the dressing room, open the door, drawer, etc.
❌ You do not see your entire wardrobe at once and can search for the right item of clothing for a long time.

Choosing the type of storage in the wardrobe

1. Panel storage

Such a wardrobe is a panel that is located against the wall. And shelves and various tiers are attached to the panel itself. This design does not have a ceiling and floor - this type of dressing room looks quite light and does not take up space if it is not enough. Suitable for small spaces and will be appropriate in any style of interior - classic, loft, hi-tech, scandi.

2. Frame storage

The name speaks for itself - a certain frame is installed along the wall, and shelves, rails and other storage structures are conveniently located on the rods. A frame dressing room is suitable for a large bedroom - one wall from edge to edge stands out under it, and it is better to think over the location inside the frame together with the designer.

3. Modular wardrobe storage system

Modular wardrobe is still a separate wardrobe room, so this option should only be considered if you can allocate an entire room for clothes. The modules are connected by dense partitions and in general the design looks impressive. This type fits well into modern or classic interiors, and is also suitable for a corner wardrobe system.

4. Mesh storage

This design consists of a regular panel, hangers, but top and bottom are supplemented with mesh boxes - they replace the classic boxes. In such boxes and baskets it is convenient to store accessories, shoes, as well as ordinary clothes that are not afraid to wrinkle. The idea of ​​mesh boxes helps to make storage more convenient, but at the same time leaves a feeling of spaciousness in the dressing room. It is convenient to make a constructor from such boxes - they are easily interchangeable. White mesh wardrobes are perfect for Scandinavian or modern interiors.

Equipping the dressing room

1. Cabinets

The main rule of any cabinet, regardless of its size, is free space. If everything is clogged with shelves, drawers and clothes, then things will not be ventilated and a musty smell will form. That is why you should not clog closets to the eyeballs, for example, you definitely shouldn’t store out-of-season clothes that you don’t use - you can hand them over for seasonal storage in a warm warehouse. Sliding wardrobes are a good option for a wardrobe system if there is not enough space.

2. Shelves

Shelves can be installed from the floor to the ceiling - so you use the space as efficiently as possible. The main thing is to correctly distribute clothes: at the highest and lowest should be stored what is rarely used (for example, festive clothes). On the middle and most convenient shelves are clothes that you take out often.

3. Shelves

Wardrobe shelving for storing clothes goes well with closed wardrobes - so the dressing room looks interesting and leaves a feeling of spaciousness. It's great to store beautiful accessories on the shelves - the best festive pair of shoes, your favorite hat or bag. You can also put decor on the shelves of the rack - a sachet, a frame with a photo, a vase. So the dressing room will become more comfortable.

4. Drawers

Use dividers in the drawers so you can store small items (socks, stockings, straps, underwear) and not be afraid of mess.

5. Boxes

Boxes will help you store your shoes: don't throw away store-bought ones, you can use them if you have closed storage, and if you have open storage, then buy beautiful cardboard or plastic boxes of a suitable color or universal transparent ones.

6. Organizers

This is your salvation if you are a fan of small things! In organizers it is convenient to store accessories, cosmetics, hair ornaments, accessories - buttons, zippers, pins, straps. The organizer can be large, in which case it is cool to hang it on the inside of the cabinet door or on the wall. Such organizers store summer shoes, slippers, various accessories, combs.

7. Baskets

Baskets in the dressing room complement the interior with their "natural" touch - they look natural and delight the eye among a large number of fabrics. In smaller baskets you can store a collection of tights (roll them according to the Marie Kondo method), in larger baskets you can store umbrellas, hats, gloves, scarves.

8. Various hangers

No dressing room can be imagined without hangers, but it's all about how they are arranged. The most important thing is to hang them, based on convenience - go to the wardrobe panel, closet and raise your hand. The hanger should hang so that you can easily reach the clothes and take them off.

9. Mirrors

Every wardrobe must have a full-length mirror. If you have a separate dressing room, then arrange for yourself two mirrors so that you can step back 1-2 meters and see yourself in both of them. Different angles that you see at the same time will help you better evaluate your image. If it is important for you to choose shoes and you often change them, then install a mini-mirror at the bottom of the closet or dressing room, as they sometimes do in shoe stores - this way you will have a separate additional angle specifically for choosing shoes for your image.

10. Ironing board

This item is never fun when it's in plain sight in the living room or bedroom. Organize a flip board (it mounts on a panel or cabinet door) and hide it when not needed. Separately think over in this area a place for an iron so that everything is at hand. It is also convenient to allocate a drawer for bed linen here, so that it does not have to be carried far after ironing.

Zoning the dressing room

This is an individual process, but be guided by the need: your favorite things that you use every day should be as accessible as possible. Divide clothes approximately into the following zones: for a holiday, for sports, office clothes, home, summer, winter, underwear.

Seasonal storage in the Attic

Summer clothes are not needed in winter, and winter clothes are not needed in summer. Do you agree? This means that there is definitely nothing for her to do in the dressing room cabinets - she only takes up a useful place there, and when stored openly, she also fades. The attic conveniently solves the problem of seasonal storage - we store things until you need them and return them exactly in time for the season!

How Attic works

Make the dressing room of your dreams

The best dressing room is the one where everything is really organized and there is nothing superfluous. Leave only the actual clothes, distribute them as you like, add decor and a couple of your favorite things to the interior so that they please the eye and wear clothes with pleasure! And the Attic will always take care of temporarily unnecessary things.

12 unexpected wardrobe storage ideas

1 Use boxes and baskets

We often write about the benefits of baskets and boxes for interior design. They help to keep order and aesthetics even in small things. In the dressing room, these are also indispensable accessories. You can put seasonal clothes and shoes in boxes to keep them in the best condition, store underwear or clothes that are in the sock. In the end, you can put clean, but not yet ironed clothes there, so as not to spoil the interior of your room with “hills” of clothes taken from the dryer.

2 Pay attention to the wardrobe-transformers or prefabricated systems

This idea will appeal to those who want to organize a dressing room in an uncomfortable corner, a room with an irregular layout or an attic. In any of these cases, wardrobe transformers and prefabricated systems will come to the rescue - you yourself will decide what accessories you need, choose the height of cabinets and drawers and be able to make even the most uncomfortable corner in the room functional.

3 Hang railings

Railings are universal "helpers" for simple and functional storage. And the range of their application is much wider than the working surface in the kitchen. For example, in the dressing room you can store scarves and even shoes on railings - just put them on the railing with a heel, they will hold on.

4 See above

The indisputable advantage of wardrobes is that you can use the entire space right up to the ceiling. And this is really important, so the storage system becomes much more functional. And even if you only have a small utility room in the room, do not waste space under the ceiling - hang rails for clothes there.

5 Look for custom solutions

These fixtures are used as shelf holders. But what if you hang them on the other side and use them as hangers in small dressing rooms? Try it!

6 Use hanging shoe organizers

And you don't have to store only sneakers, sneakers or shoes in them. Twisted T-shirts, long sleeves - any knitwear that does not wrinkle can also be stored in this way. It will be much more economical and, by the way, safer for clothes - in this form, knitwear will not stretch.

7 Use Office Organizers

See how office paper organizers were used in this closet. Now they store small wallets and clutches. And by the way, paper towel holders also come in handy - for bracelets, watches or twisted belts.

8 Sign boxes

A simple rule that many people forget. By signing boxes, you will find the right thing much faster. Especially if the dressing room is for children or things of the whole family are stored in it, including cosmetics and medicines.

9 Improvise with internal storage

For example, underwear or swimwear can be folded into these organza bags. It looks nice and very neat. And if you impregnate such bags with aromatic oils, a pleasant aroma of linen is provided.

10 Use accessories to save space

We've already talked about these things in the article on how to store shoes. Look for accessories that help keep a pair of shoes compact.
