Come On In!

Typically, the entryway, foyer or front hallway is the first area of your living space guests will see when entering your home. Whether you live in a house, condominium or apartment, especially if the entrance area is small, you might want to update the look of your front entrance, but have no idea where to begin. When redecorating your entryway, you will be able to find a variety of affordable, quality products at Coat Rack Select and More Benches that will improve the look of your home's entrance.

Since first impressions are important, and especially if floor space is at a premium, hallways are the perfect place to add furniture pieces that create a welcoming atmosphere, while increasing your storage options. Many manufacturers offer multipurpose items like benches that also double as storage cubes. By simply selecting a few pieces including a coat rack or a bench, you can define a hallway or entryway, adding functionality as well as a focal point.

A convenient place to hang clothing and accessories, a coat rack, a.k.a. hall tree, can be used to make a statement or simply fill a utilitarian role. If you want your entranceway to be noticed, select a coat rack that creates visual interest, like the Powell Wooden Oak Coat Rack. Choosing one made of rattan such as the Southern Enterprises Ivory Hall Tree, will add texture to the hallway’s décor.

A bench is not only a practical piece of furniture to have in a hall or foyer, but it creates a good impression by making the space appear warm and inviting. In a variety of styles, colors, finishes and designs, benches range from ones with plush upholstery and decorative arms to benches with wood seats or ones constructed of metal.

A family with children might especially appreciate a storage bench in an entryway or hallway, as a great place to tidy away items in a hurry and make the space clutter-free for unexpected guests. The Modus Milano Storage Bench would be an excellent choice.

The Home Styles Furniture Full Storage Bench combines the functionality of a storage bench with the practicality of a coat rack. It not only provides a comfortable place to sit when removing shoes or boots, but it will also help contain clutter and keep the area tidier.

It doesn’t have to take time-consuming effort to transform your hallway or entryway into a more practical yet esthetically pleasing place. With a coat of new paint, a vase of flowers and a wide selection of coat racks and benches to choose from, you will be able to breathe new life into your home.
