In most homes, the entryway is the first spot for clutter to build up because everything passes through this space. And honestly, it’s not because your family is messy. Most of the time it just means there isn’t a clear system for where those everyday items are supposed to go. Over the years I’ve realized that one of the easiest ways to keep a home feeling calm is to stop the clutter before it ever spreads into the rest of the house. When the entryway works well, it kind of acts like a filter. Create a drop zone for small items to land as soon as you walk in the door (keys, wallet, sunglasses, etc). Use a console table like these and a tray, bowl, or basket to create a visual boundary. LTKdayinmylife LTKHome LTKmomlife
