Five Ideas That Will Make Your Small NYC Entryway Shine

by | Jul 18, 2016

Entryways should not be ignored when decorating. After all, it is the first part of an apartment that most people see when they walk in.

Putting together your entryway is about making the most of the available space, especially the walls. Think practical and get creative when figuring out how to best use this space. Here are five items you can add to even the smallest of entryways to give your home a little more style.


Narrow Tables

Forget the standard hallway console table. You need something even more narrow if you expect to hold all your items without having to turn sideways as you walk by. A super narrow console table gives you a place to drop your keys and wallet. We recommend picking up a narrow console with a bottom shelf so you can store and hide away items.


Shoe Racks

If you like to have a few go-to pairs of shoes in your entryway, you could still find a way to make them look good. Add a basket or two underneath a console table or shelf to create an area to place your shoes seamlessly.

Placing a mirror in your entryway serves two purposes. It’s a great way to do one last spot check of your pretty self before you head on out the door, and it makes the entryway appear to be larger. Our friends at AptDeco found that the correct mirror visually magnifies your space to make it look bigger. Adding a mirror is a win-win all around.


Coat Rack

When you get home, don’t just throw your coat on the floor. Invest in a great coat rack for you and your guests to use. It’s a functional piece that can be used as a wonderful statement piece.


Umbrella Stand
