Entryways are traditionally small spaces, where we are trying to squeeze a lot: outerwear, shoes, umbrellas, scarves, accessories and much more. Some of use buy furniture for storage, others have or make coat closets to keep the storage sleeker. A coat or hallway closet is a niche in the wall, which might feature or not feature any doors and where you put off most of clothes and shoes when you come home. How to style and organize it? Here are some ideas that may inspire you.
How To Decorate A Coat Closet?
The coat closet might have or not have doors, and this is important: if it has no doors, it should look very cohesive with the entryway around. Even if you have doors, make sure your closet looks matching to the space around it. You can use the same colors or the same wallpaper inside the closet creating cool backing. If there’s no wallpaper around, wallpaper inside the closet will be a cool accent.
Even a small closet can be accented with bold wallpaper and baskets that will bring touches of style.

How To Build Up A Coat Closet?
Built-in shelves are the best and sleekest way to get a lot of storage space. Rails are great to hang outerwear, and shelves can hold shoes, boots and accessories, too. If you don’t want a rail, add hooks to hang the clothes. A built-in storage bench is a perfect solution: you can sit and store at the same time. Use the door to attach hooks and shelves and even a mirror.
