Tidy Tuesday Tips

This Tuesday is all about transforming the entrance to your home! Let's get started!

The entrance or foyer of your home is the first area seen upon arrival and the last area encountered upon departure. It is important to set the tone for the rest of the home with an organized and inviting entrance. Here are a few tips to declutter your foyer and develop an entrance that exudes calm and positive energy.

1. Invest in a small shoe rack

Place a small shoe rack by the door, preferably inside the coat closet, if one exists. This allows the family and guests to store a limited number of shoes by the door. What doesn't fit on the rack must be placed in the bedroom closet.


2. If you do not have a coat closet, consider using a coat rack

This is a great storage solution for rain and winter coats, or for storing umbrellas.


3. Consider installing a peg rack for coats, umbrellas, and keys

4. If space allows, place a decorative storage bench in the foyer

The storage bench is great for blankets, newspapers, etc. Depending on the depth of the bench, you could potentially store shoes inside, as well.


5. Invest in a decorative mirror with hanging hooks for keys or umbrellas

This option allows you to add a nice decorative touch with a mirror, while providing a place to hang keys and umbrellas.


6. Revisit the foyer entrance before bed.

Before you retreat to bed, walk through the entrance and take all items that should be stored elsewhere, and put them away in their respective locations. (i.e. mail, excess shoes, etc.)
