The entryway. It’s the first thing you see when you walk into your home and the last thing you pass on your way out.

Yet, it’s often one of the most overlooked spaces when it comes to design and functionality.

But guess what?

With a few clever ideas, you can transform your home entryway into an organized, aesthetic space that makes a great first impression and simplifies your daily routine.

Here’s a curated list of aesthetic home entryway storage ideas that are not just practical but also give your home that chic, polished vibe you’ve been dreaming of.

01 | PORTABLE ALL IN ONE FURNITURE

I know many of us wish we had these glorious built-in bench home entryways, but a lot of us are not in our forever home.

So cut the cost by getting yourself a portable piece of furniture you can bring with you to every home!

If you are in need of a piece of furniture with multiple functions then look for something with a bench, a rack for shoes, and or hooks for jackets and purses.

02 | HIDDEN BENCH STORAGE

A storage bench is a must-have for an entryway that’s both functional and inviting.

It’s perfect for storing shoes, hats, umbrellas, and anything else you don’t want to trip over when you walk in the door.

Opt for a bench with built-in cubbies or hidden compartments to keep things tidy while adding a cozy vibe by topping it with a soft cushion.

For an extra aesthetic touch, choose one with a natural wood finish or a neutral fabric that complements your home’s decor.

Pro tip: Don’t forget to place a basket underneath for even more storage!

3 | FLOATING OPEN SHELVING

Floating shelves are a sleek and modern way to keep necessities like mail, sunglasses, or decor pieces organized.

Add a couple of potted plants, a small tray for keys, or a framed photo to make the space feel personal and curated.

And here’s the best part—they don’t require floor space!

Your entryway stays clutter-free and still looks Instagram-worthy.

Quick tip: Paint your shelves the same color as your wall for a seamless, built-in effect.

4 | CONSOLE TABLE FOR CHIC STORAGE

A console table is a fantastic way to anchor your entryway while adding personality.

Pick one with drawers for hidden storage and a bottom shelf for baskets or shoes.

You can also use the top surface to showcase a beautiful vase, a tray for keys, or even a bowl for spare change. It’s all about mixing function with flair.

Pro styling tip: Add a lamp for some mood lighting and layer it with decor pieces for a cozy and inviting entryway vibe.

5 | SPACE FRIENDLY HOME ENTRYWAY

I know the main concern of most people trying to create beautiful and functional home entryway storage ideas is that they just don’t have space.

The struggle is real!

There is good news though, there are many smart ways to create a home entryway with just a little bit of wall space and some imagination.

Hang hooks on the wall to catch coats and bags, hang a mirror to create the illusion of more space, and use a floating wall shelf to collect light things like keys and small bags.

6 | BASKETS FOR STYLISH HIDEAWAYS

When in doubt, baskets are the answer.

They’re the ultimate storage superheroes, corralling everything from shoes to scarves in a way that’s functional and aesthetic.

Choose woven rattan or seagrass baskets to add a natural, cozy texture to the entryway.

Not a fan of earthy vibes?

Opt for canvas or metal baskets with cute labels to keep things orderly.

Place them under a console table, beside the door, or even inside a cabinet for hidden organization.

7 | REPURPOSE YOUR ENTRYWAY CLOSET

Many homes do have a home entryway closet. Although this is already a space-saving feature they often turn into what I like to call the black pit.

A place where everyone throws everything into without a care in the world. If you have ever had a front entryway closet you know what I’m talking about!

Why not get creative and transform this closet into an organized and visually appealing home entryway?

Take off the door, add shelving, hooks, a small bench, bins, the sky is the limit! Ok well, I guess the amount of space you have to work with is the limit… but you know what I mean.

8 | FIND ATTRACTIVE SHOE STORAGE

Shoes in a messy pile by the front door is a horror story too many of us are living. But you don’t have to be!

Find an attractive shoe storage system that will work for how much space you have.

Not all shoe storage solutions are created the same. If you really want to clean up your front entryway try finding storage that hides the shoe pile.

It’s functional and makes your home feel put together 24/7.

9 | REPURPOSE YOUR FURNITURE

There is nothing wrong with using a dresser, a TV stand, or any piece of furniture for that matter in your home entryway.

It doubles up as storage and those pieces of furniture tend to be more interior design-focused.

As long as it fits well, why not?

Think about all of that storage!

10 | GO FOR THE BUILT-IN

If you are ready for the ultimate front entryway storage extraordinaire then it is time you considered getting it built in.

Think about the endless possibilities for all of your storage solution needs. You could build individual lockers, rows of shelving, benches with lifted seating, and the list goes on and on!

The front of your home is the gateway to your personality, and with these home entryway storage ideas, it can become a space you’re proud to show off.

Whether you’re storing shoes in a chic basket or hanging coats on minimalistic hooks, there are endless ways to combine style and functionality.

Start small, mix and match ideas, and create an entryway that’s as beautiful as it is practical.

Who knows? You might even start looking forward to coming home just to see it!

Happy Decluttering!

    Hi Amanda,
    I am so sorry, I truly do not know what specific paint color that they are. I know most places are great at color matching, maybe you if print it out they could find something close!
