Clothing, Coat, Accessories

An entryway does not need to be large to be functional. It simply needs to be intentional and clear in purpose. The entryway is the first and last space you pass through each day. This is where you take one final glance in the mirror before stepping into the world. It is also where everyone kicks off their shoes, drops their bags, and leaves behind things like keys, sunglasses and other essentials down and walks away. The space should work for you and not against you. 

Start by clearing the surfaces and beginning fresh. Whether you have a console table, a narrow shelf, or a small ledge, keep only what serves a purpose.

Designers have long understood that a single, enveloping hue can create a striking sense of mood and continuity.
