Customized Entryway Storage Ideas
The entryway or foyer of your home is often the first thing visitors see. So, it’s important to keep it clean and organized. It’s also the place where you go in and out every day. It’s where you casually hang up your coat, slip on or off your shoes, or rush to open when the dog wants to go outside.
Any area of the home that is used as much as the entryway is prone to get a little messy, and maybe even a little cluttered. A nearby hall closet might help. Yet if you have kids, you know all too well how quickly that little closet can turn into a den of chaos.
The list of things that might be kept in the foyer, hall closet, or entryway organization system might include:
Coats and Jackets
Rain gear and umbrellas
Boots, sandals, shoes
Slippers or traction socks
Canes, walkers, and other walking aid devices
Scarfs
Hats, and other head-wear items
Pet brushes, toys & washing supplies
Seasonal storage items







Making The Most
Hall and entryway closets have a tendency for getting disorganized and cluttered. This might be a statement on modern day life, as we rush out the door, or come back in at the end of the day wanting to flop on the couch, the hall closet tends to be a space that suffers a lot of abuse in just a few seconds. It can be even worse if you have a child or two who struggles to remember to hang up their coat!
One way to get around this, or at least improve your chances of everyone respecting the hall closet more, is to install a thoughtful organization system. The designer at Closettec has tackled more than one closet of chaos over the years. We can help you understand the various systems that will work best for your space, while also factoring in your family’s habits.
This can sometimes be as simple as adding more shoe storage and cubby space or lining the back wall of the closet with deep shelves. Maybe changing from hanger to hooks will help keep your children encouraged to hang up their coat, instead of tossing it on the closet floor. In other scenarios, it might take a wholesale redesign and installation of a custom hall closet organization system.
Out Of Existing Closet Storage Systems

Making The Most
Even if there is no existing hall closet near your main entryway or a secondary door, there might still be other structural features nearby that you can utilize. This might be the space under the stairs, and overhead compartment, or a nearby bookshelf that can be transformed into a built-in wardrobe closet. If the nearby stairs are wide, a step-by-step cubby unit might also give you extra space for shoes, backpacks and other accessories.
Regardless of the characteristics of your entryway or foyer, Closet Tec’s designers can find the kind of creative options that make the most out of your space.
