Our entryway always seemed to be cluttered up with shoes, coats, sweatshirts, bags and other junk. It looked bad, was causing me to trip and was driving my wife crazy. So we had to find a solution to organize the mess. In our case, we decided we needed one place, close to the entryway to organize everything. After hunting around for a while we settled on an multipurpose closet that we could add to the bathroom right off the entryway. The great thing about the cabinet is that the doors hide all the real clutter on the inside. We also have a new house rule that all shoes need to be placed into the closet when we come in the door. Now our entryway problem is gone!


Looking for more ways to organize your entryway? Here is a great idea using a coat rack and a storage bench for storing shoes:
