"When it comes to hardworking rooms in the house, I almost always think of the kitchen. However, when it comes to getting in and out of the house, a transition that happens multiple times a day, there's another ubiquitous but often-overlooked hardworking space: the entryway. Not only does it send us off into the world and welcome us home, but it sets the tone for all our comings and goings. This threshold deserves more attention."
"Especially for families who have children to get out the door in the mornings or, frankly any time of the day (IYKYK), an entryway that's thoughtfully set up to support smooth transitions has the power to keep everyone more calm during some of the most stressful parts of the day. I spoke to organizing expert and mother Jessica Litman of The Organized Mama, who specializes in helping families implement "thoughtfully designed routines and spaces" about setting up a functional entry space."
Entryways function as high-traffic transitional spaces that set the tone for daily comings and goings. A thoughtfully arranged entryway supports smooth transitions and reduces morning stress, especially for families with children. Creating zones that group related items simplifies grab-and-go routines and prevents items from scattering throughout the home. Storing work documents and supplies together in a single bin enables easy transport between home and work and provides a designated spot for unloading upon return. Clear zones establish exact locations for essential items, cut down on frantic searches, and contribute to calmer, more efficient departures and arrivals.
