Use Mirror For Small Entryway

If you have an entryway that feels small and dark during the day, then adding a big mirror will amplify natural light.

Not only that, mirrors can create the illusion of a larger room while beautifying the entryway.

Decorate Your Entry Table

Most likely, if you have an table at the entryway it is going to get cluttered with stuffs.

Keys, purses, money and all kinds of random stuff, we are all guilty of it!

The solution is simple, make it such that there is no room for adding clutter...

Use a basket or small storage organizer in the middle for your keys and stuffs you always leave at the entryway, then fill the sides with decor such as lamp, plants, sculptures and so on.

Then at the bottom of the table, add a large storage basket for storage space.
