Your entryway is supposed to be a welcoming spot for you and your guests.
It can easily get overrun with clutter like wayward papers, packages, and a small mountain of shoes.

“No one wants to walk into a cluttered house,” says Jamie Hord, founder of Horderly.
(That’ll make more room for your wintry bootsand your guests' shoes as well!)
If space is tight in your entryway, consider storing those items elsewhere.
Other errand-y stuff, like shopping returns and library books, often face the same fate.
Consider paring down your collection, opting for bags that can be folded up small.
Broken or Worn Umbrellas
Umbrellas are an entryway essential.
Get rid of broken umbrellas, so everyone’s covered when they head out the door.
