If your family’s hectic schedules are causing a pileup in your entryway, it might be time for an organizational overhaul. The solution? A one-stop spot for shoes, keys, sports gear, and all the other supplies you don’t want to leave behind.
The trick to building an effective command center is to maximize your existing space: think wall-mounted hooks, benches with built-in storage, and re-usable chalkboards and calendars. We’ll show you how to get the look no matter your style, with staple pieces that are sure to transform your entryway from sloppy to shipshape in no time at all.
Industrial Chic
Galvanized metal organizers are perfect for storing mail, documents, and keys while still reflecting your gritty-pretty tastes. To maximize storage space, choose a bench with built-in baskets for shoes, backpacks, or sports gear, then round out the look with an eye-catching industrial mirror.

Rustic Farmhouse
If you’re a sucker for farmhouse flair, you’ll love how easy it is to infuse distressed, romantic style into such a utilitarian space. A barn-door storage bench creates a perfect spot for shoes, while rustic hanging organizers make space for mail, keys, coats, and more. For day-to-day reminders, add in a farmhouse-chic chalkboard that’ll keep you uber-organized.

Understated and On-Trend
You’re looking to simplify your family’s morning routine, so it only makes sense to create a space with simple, minimal style. For maximum organization, start with a sleek console table and top it off with a selection of decorative trays for keys, electronics, or important documents. Create a gallery-style command center above the table with a quirky, colorful wall organizer, a simple chalkboard calendar, and a chic round mirror for those last-minute once-overs before you head out the door.
Get the Look:
Crisp and Coastal
Minimize the stress of a high-traffic home with soothing, coastal pieces in bright, clean shades. Start with a bench that does double duty as a storage and seating option. To make the most of your space, wall-mount the essentials: hooks, bulletin boards, chalkboards, and calendars are easy ways to stay organized without taking up too much space. Finish the look off with a coastal-inspired mirror.
