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.

The Cerina Boho Natural Rattan Shoe Storage Cabinet is technically a shoe organizer, but it looks and feels much more like a chic entryway console. Measuring 41.14 inches high, 23.34 inches wide, and 8.66 inches deep, it features two pull-down compartments that can hold up to 12 pairs of shoes, plus a slim top drawer that's great for keys and other grab-and-go essentials. The cabinet comes in four finishes - black, brown, Morandi green, and walnut - and currently retails for $105 on Wayfair.

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.

The IKEA TJUSIG Hanger is a sleek, wall-mounted organizer with six offshoots, providing smart storage for small spaces, made from solid wood.
