Warm up your entryway this winterAdvertorial
Winter. It's a time of crisp air, gently falling snow, and piles of coats, slushy boots and soggy mittens in your front hall.
This season, make your entryway orga-nized and inviting.
Here's how:Make first impressions count.Give your door a fresh coat of glossy
paint, and put down a new doormat. Hang a nice winter wreath or plant an evergreen in a sturdy urn.
Store your stuff out of sight.If you don't have enough closet space,
add storage by hiding a garment rack behind a curtain, using an armoire, installing a coat tree or hall stand, or by trying one of these storage ideas:
- A bench with built-in storage holds your stuff and offers a convenient spot to sit down and put your boots on;
- a small bookshelf with labeled bas-kets is good for storing small items; and
- a chest of drawers can make your front hall look more like a furnished room, and it gives you a surface for pho-tos, a lamp or incoming mail.
Stay in season.Move non-winter items to a different
part of your home. Leave some extra space and extra hangers for your guests' coats.
Tame your shoes.Set a limit to how many pairs each
person can keep by the door, and install a shoe rack to keep footwear organized. Avoid putting boots on a mat that doesn't
drain, they won't dry properly and the leather will get damaged.
A perforated tray with a mat under-neath will let your footwear drip-dry.
Hook it.Heavy-duty hooks keep backpacks,
scarves, purses and coats off the floor. Hang them at a height where kids can reach them to make it easy for them to put away their things.
Make a place foryour misplaceables. How much time do you spend hunting
for keys, sunglasses, cell phones and dog leashes? Dedicate a basket or bowl to these important items by the front door, and you'll never have to search under the couch cushions again.
