As autumn and winter approach, the weather is changing. It is the time to prepare your house entrance for those muddy shoes and wet coats. Create an inviting home entryway that will suit the function and aesthetic of colder seasons with these seven tips.

The First Step

One of the essential additions to an inviting home entryway for colder seasons is a welcome mat. Placed at the doorstep, this rug is the first line of defence against dirt, mud, and moisture from outside. It is the perfect spot to wipe your shoes before stepping inside. Opt for a sturdy, easy-to-clean mat that complements your decor while serving a practical purpose.

The Coat Hanger

With the drop in temperature, coats become an everyday necessity. Install a coat hanger or a set of hooks near your entryway. This will keep your coats in shape and prevent them from cluttering your living space. Plus, it is a convenient spot to hang your outer layers, making them easily accessible as you head out the door.

Designated Shoe Place

Create a space for your dirty shoes. Think of it as a changing space where you put on your slippers and leave your wet shoes to dry.

Remember to take care of your footwear and clean it regularly. The purpose of this spot is to keep your floors clean, not your shoes dirty.

Cold Weather Essentials

Hats, scarves and gloves are essential in colder seasons. A set of drawers or a small cabinet near the entryway is perfect for storing these accessories, allowing you to grab what is needed on the way out. It is a simple way to keep these items stored and easily accessible.

The Small Bowl

Have you ever been searching desperately for your keys or other last-minute essentials? A small decorative bowl on a table or shelf in your entryway can solve this problem. Drop your keys, phone, or other must-have items into the bowl as you come in, and you will always know where to find them when rushing out the door.

Inviting the Mirror

A mirror is not only a functional addition but also a stylish one. Choose a mirror that complements your decor. Adding a mirror will make your home entryway inviting, and spacious and brighten it. It is also handy for a final glance before you step out.

Pet-Friendly Features

For those with furry friends, consider incorporating pet-friendly features into your entryway. Install a designated spot for the leash and perhaps a towel for drying wet paws after walks. Keeping pet essentials in order will make your daily routines smoother and help to keep your home clean.

ECO TIP: keep your old towels and reuse them for your pets!
