The Perfect Small Entryway


Hello Small Space Dwellers! It's great to be back from the long weekend. My gears have been turning for the past week on what to do to freshen up my entryway. When I first bought my place the entryway was the basic all white everything. I couldn't help but jazz it up with a painted door, extra moulding, wall mounted organizer (for mail and my keys), large scale art, and a sexy chair.This got me thinking of the elements that make the perfect small entryway.

In most small spaces the entryway is the last area that gets decorated, although one of the most important places. The entrance marks the transition from the outside world to our private quarters. Realize it or not it is the place where we pause for the briefest of moments to reflect as we shed the layers (and cares) of the public life before entering our home. So making the entryway both functional and beautiful is quite important!

There are 4 fundamental elements that should be in every small entryway:



1. The Landing Strip - A place for keys, mail and various items you unload as you enter your space.
2. Mirror - For the quick glance as you are headed out the door.
3. Storage - No explanation needed...lol
4. Accents - Your entryway is the first this that is seen as people enter your home, It should be a reflection of you and what wonders are in store in the rest of your home!

Try it! These are all quick additions make make so much of a difference! Be sure to shares. I always love hearing from you!

  8. Love this! I really need to do something in our bland apartment entryway. It's hard because there's a coat closet (used as such and pantry) immediately to the right, and only a small space behind the door; no place for a landing strip. Hmm... you have me thinking.
