You may not have a traditional mudroom or foyer, but you definitely have an
entryway. No matter how small it is, the best way to make an entryway most
functional is to declutter it regularly.
Start with any desk, console, or side tables you have in your entry. Go through
each drawer, removing the contents, and make a quick decision to toss or keep
each item. Go over the tops of each desk or console as well. Do you have a space
for your keys and other important items? Make sure everything is accessible
and not too crowded. This will make it easier to leave the house with what you
need each morning.
The hall closet should be decluttered like any other closet: Start with shoes and
boots, then jackets, followed by accessories.
The entry is another area that picks up a lot of clutter from other rooms. Spend
time putting away things from other rooms that have made it's way to the entry.
