11 Smart Fixes for Messy Entryways That Start at Just $3

This wall-mounted key holder has a total of seven hooks: three slender hooks for keys and four sturdy hooks for pet leashes, hats, and scarves. Above them sits a shelf with a guardrail so that you have a place to set mail down as you walk in the door. But the best part? The horizontal bar that functions as sunglasses storage.

You can also use the key holder’s shelf to store hand sanitizer so that you can check outside germs at the door. This mini hand sanitizer spray from Scent Theory is just the right size to fit on that small shelf, and it leaves behind a pleasant coconut scent.

If you’ve got a bigger household, you’re going to need more hooks. This wall mounted coat rack has 16 hooks for coats, bags, and accessories, plus another half dozen for keys and sectioned shelving. Each coat hook can hold up to 22 pounds, so you can hang even your heaviest parkas with confidence.

I’ve relied on individual coat hooks like these in the entryways of my past three rental apartments. They’ve supplemented small entryway closets and made it easy to grab the coats and bags I use most. They’re also useful when I have guests over, since no one has to ask me where they should put their stuff.

This simple shoe storage bench has two lower shelves for stacking shoes, rather than letting them pile up in front of the door and become a tripping hazard. Use the bench’s surface as a place to sit down when putting on shoes or as additional storage, depending on what your entryway needs. It’s available in this natural wooden shade, plus black and white.

Prefer to keep pairs of shoes out of sight? Then you’re in the market for a shoe cabinet with flip drawers. I like how this one has four sections — which could work out to one per person in your household — and a little cubby at the bottom to keep go-to pairs out of the way. The fluted facade and golden-accented handles are luxe touches you’ll like looking at every day.

I love that this L-shaped storage bench comes with a complementary wall-mounted coat rack. The farmhouse-style bench has 12 cubbies for shoes, plus two compartments on either end that can accommodate taller pairs. In the center of the bench, there’s a lift top that provides access to hidden storage.

Shoe storage, or floor-length mirror? With this mirror shoe cabinet, you don’t have to choose just one for your small entryway. Behind each of the mirror’s four panels is a flip drawer that can hold up to three pairs of shoes — just press to reveal. Other thoughtful design details include rounded corners and splayed wooden legs.

This elegant hall tree is basically a statement piece for your entryway. It’s got shoe cubbies, a small bench, and hooks for coats and bags. At the very top is a display shelf framed by the tree’s sophisticated arch. I really like its rustic wooden finish, which can be incorporated into a range of decor styles.

This large hall tree is great for households with kids who are in and out of the house all day. Toward the bottom is a long bench and three deep cubbies for shoes and storage baskets. In the middle are three cabinets for hanging items, plus hooks on the side for your go-to jacket and hat. Last but not least are three shelves at the top, perfect for displaying knickknacks.

A traditional coat rack gives your jackets and accessories a place to live without you having to settle on a permanent location — just pick it up and move it as you please. This sturdy metal coat rack adjusts to two different heights and has eight L-shaped hooks, two of which are lower down so that little ones have easy access.
