I’ve been thinking about entryways lately….
Not for myself, I think my entryway(s) are functioning pretty well, except for the constant pestering my family (including myself) to put our shoes away. I have been repeating to myself lately… “don’t put it down, put it away”. It’s really helping me. We also turned the 18”Wide closet into shoe storage only. We fit in a skinny pax and added the shoe shelves and a ceiling mounted curtain. It’s not the most aesthetic solution but it is working for us.
But I have been thinking about other’s entryways. And how many of our small apartments and houses lack any type of entryway organization or closet. So I am always keeping my eye out for solutions.
The IKEA Stall cabinet is still a great option. We had it in old apartment it served us well. In really narrow spaces I still think it’s a great option. I particularly like it in a narrow hallway doubled up. I wish it came in more finish options! and even a new handle would be nice, if you are listening Ikea. Too funny I wrote this sentence and then double checked and there’s a new finish (in the US so far)! In our old apartment we removed the legs and wall-mounted our STALL, i think it elevated it a bit. I haven’t seen the oak in person but this could be nice option.
I also noticed this Ikea cabinet TONSTAD that I thought could work as an entry solution. I was picturing two of them together. Not everyone has 14/34” depth but if you do, it might be nice solution.
I recently added these Sundays Keep Stacking to my living room but I also recommended them to a friend with no entry closet but I bit of extra depth along her stairs. I like that they are modular and quite lovely solid wood. They could hold shoes, bags, sports stuff etc. Especially if stacked.

And I learned you could add a lid to make it more of a bench HERE
