1. Command Center
This small entryway is not missing comfort, organization and personal attention. The slim shoe cabinet offers two sections for hidden shoe storage and a rack for small everyday accessories.
A key house keeps the key chains accessible on the wall. The board intended for a week planner is an important part of the family ordinary activities. There are also two mail organizers for important notices.
2. Auxiliary Molding
If your home lacks an entryway, you can source inspiration from this idea. The blank wall behind the door is turned into a small everyday clothes and accessories organizer by adding a molding structure with a rack and hanging hooks.
The rack formed by the molding structure can be used for seasonal decor that blends the DIY entryway with the open-concept living space.
3. A Drawer To Create An Entryway
Another interesting idea for turning a small blank wall into an entryway is to add a storage unit.
It will serve not only for the storage and organization of accessories but also as a means to create a decorative effect. Choose the unit in a style that matches or enhances the one of the room it is placed in.
4. Create An Entryway With Racks
One of the simplest ideas for a DIY entryway decor is the one featured in the photo above. The neutral white shiplap is perfect to add different rustic racks and decorate them with seasonal charms.
Here, a plain wicker bag is repurposed into a holder of a bouquet of wildflowers. It is complemented by a linen print of wildflowers and a metal mail holder filled with faux white blooms.
The signs spelling “hi” and “welcome” set an inviting vibe in the small but appealing space.
5. Simple Farmhouse Decor
Two arched window frames, an old weathered bench, a tall plant and a set of candles turn a plain space into a fabulous entryway.
The rustic charm anchored by the weathered wood items makes the space very welcoming. The added lunch basket with a pillow and the throw blanket on the bench elevate the cozy feel of the space.
6. DIY Entryway Hooks
If you want to add a touch of farmhouse to your entryway in an open-floor house, check out this idea. Get a weathered wooden board or a new board with a solid wood look.
Varnish it and then drill holes for iron hooks that will turn the plain wood into a functional and charming rack.
7. DIY Gallery Wall
When the entryway is too small or even lacking, it may be difficult to find suitable furniture in size and style. Then, you have no other choice but to make it yourself. How about a lovely, rustic, small but functional console table? There, you can set the tone for the decor theme.
Make it personal and special with family photos in different frames displayed on the table and the wall above.
8. Modern Rustic Entryway
This is another small but elegant entryway inspired by the warmth of the rustic style and affected by modern times. It features a stunning console table that has been made to suit the space from old pieces of furniture.
To maintain the authentic look of the wood, it has been well cleaned, sanded and then slightly distressed. The top of the table is perfect for special decor pieces that add character to the space, while the lower level is used for storage of baskets that perfectly complement the style.
9. DIY Center Of Organization
To provide more storage space in a narrow corridor that will be turned into an entryway, check out this DIY cabinet. It consists of a shallow row of cabinets that is perfect for shoe storage. Coats, bags, and umbrellas have their special place in the middle of the custom-made cabinet featuring a wooden section with hooks.
Added artwork pieces on top of the cabinets add a personal touch and set an inviting vibe. Small wicker baskets complement the rustic style and make space for cozy decorations.
10. A Bench With Storage Space
Make the small entryway organized and comfortable with a bench with cabinets. The three sections are enough to accommodate the pairs of shoes that the family wears most often. Above the bench, hang a rack with hooks for coats and bags. Depending on the style, it can be a simple wooden slat with hooks or cast-iron brackets.
If you want to increase the storage possibilities, make a floating shelf above the rack that will serve as a decoration display. To enhance the inviting setting, add pillows to the bench.
11. Create A Gallery of Handmade Decorations
The entryway of this house has been turned into a gallery of special moments and handmade decorations. Opposite the wall with a set of identical frames with precious photos, there is a display of DIY Valentine decor.
The craft wall features a weathered window frame with a handmade leaf wreath, followed by a framed Valentine note and a DIY paper heart sign. Valentines can be stored in the tiny galvanized pot hung on the rack.
12. Repurpose Farmhouse Items
Create a whimsical and charming atmosphere in your entryway with old wooden furniture. Repurpose window frames into wall hanging art, a glass bottle into a vase to display seasonal twigs or flower cuts. Make yourself a farmhouse industrial ladder on which you can place a blanket for decoration or use for coats and bags.
The small console table is made from old furniture pieces and anchors the space with its rustic look. Use the top and the lower levels to display more rustic pieces and personal items.
13. Display Your Love In The Entryway
This DIY heart wreath is perfect as a St. Valentine’s Day decoration or why not as a permanent sign of love in the entryway. All you need is a nice frame to display the heart. The more weathered, the better as its distressed look will instantly attract attention.
The heart inside the frame can be made from paper book pages, white sheets and even scrap pieces from white fabric. The color of the heart can also be changed to match the existing decor.
14. Cozy Industrial Entryway
This simple and inexpensive console table has set a modern industrial style in the small entryway. The black color has defined the gallery of photos displayed on the two walls.
Added oversized glass vase with simple dry grass, a pile of books and other earthy-toned decorative pieces have made the place very cozy.
15. A Rack From Wooden Slats
You can repurpose an old door and turn it into an entryway rack easily. Just add hooks to it and voila. If you prefer a more interesting look, assemble a rack from wooden slats. Paint them a color that suits the existing decor. Add a wreath, signs or other small decor pieces to the hooks for permanent decor.
For a pinch of cozy farmhouse, add a rattan trunk or a wooden bench with storage.
16. Invite Nature
This Scandinavian-inspired entryway is so amazing! The furniture is simple but functional, all pieces are in neutral and earthy tones that keep the atmosphere inviting, airy and cozy. The addition of plenty of green plants instantly enhances the homely feel and look.
If you like this idea, you can experiment with the size and texture of the flower pots. Pots with painted images, or color texture, will add a pop of color, while pots from terracotta or rattan texture will complement the furniture.
17. Display A Favorite Place Or A Hobby In The Entryway
Use your entryway to “speak out” about your hobby or a favorite place.
Do it with paintings, pictures or prints. Hang them above the console table or the bench and see how the space will become more elevated and special.
18. Create A Statement Wall
Even the smallest entryway can be given a bold statement piece. That may be an oversized decor piece or a wall in a dramatic colour. In this eye-catching idea, the shiplap wall was painted matte black to pop out against the white surroundings.
This color is also important to draw the focus to the framed pictures displayed on it. Maybe you wonder why the console table hasn’t been painted white? Because it would have gotten lost as well as the items displayed on it.
