Most entryways are chaos zones. Umbrellas lean against walls, keys land on whatever surface is closest, and the stand is usually just a metal tube catching drips in a corner nobody looks at twice. This corner of the home rarely gets the same design attention as the living room or kitchen, even though it is the first thing you see when you walk in and the last thing you touch before leaving.
Living in New York City for 13 years now, I've become very familiar with small, unconventional, and often cramped spaces. When getting a bigger space isn't an option, you've got to get creative and make the most of what's already there, especially when it comes to entryway storage. Optimizing your home's entryway can really help cut down on clutter, and this playful, colorful, new IKEA shelf will help you do just that for only $30.
