Entryway Decor Ideas: Stylish, Practical & Renter-Friendly
A good entryway has to do a lot: hold keys, bags and shoes and still look welcoming. The good news is you can make it both practical and pretty without drilling a single hole.
Here are the essentials and how to arrange them.
Entryway essentials
Slim console table
Narrow tables fit tight spaces.
Round or arched mirror
Lean it on the console or hang with removable strips rated for the weight.
Adhesive or over-door hooks
For bags and coats, damage-free.
Runner rug
Protects floors and adds warmth.
Catchall tray or bowl
Keys and sunglasses in one place.
Baskets for shoes
Under the console or bench.
Small plant or dried arrangement
Adds life (pampas or dried stems need no care).
Storage bench
Seating plus hidden storage.
Arrange it
- Console or bench against the wall.
- Mirror centered above.
- Tray for keys plus a plant or lamp on top.
- Baskets underneath.
- Hooks on the side wall or behind the door.
- Runner rug down the walkway.
No room for a console?
Use a floating ledge mounted with removable strips (lightweight items only), a wall-mounted organizer on an over-door hanger, or a narrow shoe cabinet that doubles as a surface.
