If you have a small entryway and it seems to have no space for storage, this roundup is for you as we’ve gathered the smartest ideas to store shoes in entryways, whatever the style and amount of space is, dive in!
Benches
If you have a bench in your entryway, don’t hesitate to use it for shoe storage, and the easiest way is to place your shoes under it. If such a way seems to cluttering for you, insert some baskets or boxes to make the shoes unseen. One more idea is a bench with ready storage compartments that look sleek, and this is a ready piece for decluttering any space.
