8 Ways to Make the Most of a Tiny Entry + Closet

Don't have a true entryway? Fake one! Simply add a welcoming vignette inside your front door with a streamlined console table, lighting and a large mirror. The tabletop can be used to keep things like keys, wallets and sunglasses neatly organized, while the space below can house extra seating or baskets.

Console tables with open space below them offer up a spot to add extra multipurpose seating for the nearby rooms. By storing stools or ottomans under the console table, you'll have a designated spot for putting on and taking off shoes as you head out the door or back inside the house.

Short on space for table lamps or floor lamps? Go with wall sconces instead! Not only can wall sconces lighten and brighten dark hallways and entryways, they can truly turn dead space into a strong focal point.

Mirrored closet doors get a bad rap for being dated and gaudy, but if they're done right, they can make a space feel much larger and brighter than it actually is. Here, sliding mirrored closet doors turn the entry closet into a functioning changing area. For a more up-to-date look, stick with mirrored closet doors that have sleek, silver-toned trim and hardware.
