I'm back with inspiration, tips and organizational solutions for entryways -this time for those without an entry closet! I meant to post this earlier, but unfortunately had some technical difficulties! Anyway, all is good now so let's get started shall we?
To keep the small stuff organized and out of view, opt for console tables with drawers. Decorative items on the tabletop can actually serve to help deter clutter since they limit flat surface available for setting things down.

Use drawer organizers to create a specific place for everything {keys, mail, cell phones, the dog leash, etc.} and keep things neat.

For larger storage, try a chest that fits under a console table

or storage ottomans which can also serve as seating for taking off shoes.

Put decorative bowls, tins, trays, bins, etc. into service and designate a specific container for everything you regularly need to store in the entryway

whether that be umbrellas, newspapers, or the dry cleaning that needs to be dropped off.

Baskets can hold a variety of things and fit nicely under a console table or a bench.

You can designate a separate basket for each household member so everyone knows where to find his or her things.

Pieces that make use of vertical space like those shown below allow you to add baskets up top as well

and utilize hooks for hanging coats, scarves, handbags, etc.

If you don't want to spend much on a piece of furniture, opt for individual hooks and a simple shelf -they hold baskets just as well. If you're limited on space, try utilizing an available corner.

If you don't like the look of baskets, boxes are a nice alternative.

If you prefer to have boxes and baskets out of sight, go with a closed console {or similar piece of furniture} and give every area of it a purpose. Fit it with drawer organizers and dividers giving each household member a space or grouping items by type.

If you don't have room for a piece of furniture {even a small one} make the most of your wall space by using hooks

and/or wall organizers that hold the mail, sunglasses, and other small items.

Oftentimes its the small items that get lost most frequently and can be the cause of the biggest frustrations.

The more things you designate a home for, the less clutter you're likely to have :)
