The entryway sets the tone for your whole home, but in small apartments it's often just a sliver of space by the front door. Here's how to make it work.
A slim console table
A narrow console table against the wall provides a spot to drop keys and mail without blocking the walkway.
Wall hooks over a coat rack
Hooks take up zero floor space and are perfect for bags, coats and umbrellas.
A small bench with storage
If you have room for nothing else, a slim bench with a lift-up seat gives you a place to sit while putting on shoes — and hides clutter inside.
A mirror
A mirror near the door is both practical for last-minute outfit checks and visually expands the space.
Baskets for shoes
A simple basket or shoe tray keeps footwear contained and easy to grab on the way out.
Good lighting
A wall sconce or small lamp makes the entryway feel intentional, not like an afterthought.
Even a one-meter-wide entryway can feel organized and welcoming with the right combination of these elements.
