Do you have a designated spot by the front door to catch your keys, bag, shoes and more? If you don’t, you need one! Creating a beautiful and nicely organized foyer not only makes it easier to grab your keys on the way out, it’s the perfect place to check yourself before you go.

If you’re wondering how to create the perfect foyer, you don’t need much. Depending on your space, start with a table or cabinet. Bowls or baskets can catch smaller things like keys or change. Be sure to add something on the wall to make the area look bigger. A mirror over the table opens up the space to look bigger and allows you to have a quick touch up before you go. Wall art is a good alternative. Everything else is up to you. Hooks, baskets and decor add personality to the spot.
Size doesn’t matter! You can create a functional entry in the smallest of spots. All that practicality can be beautiful — check out these entry decorating ideas for proof.

Make it organized — and beautiful
