Entryway Must-Haves For The Best First Impression
Your entryway is not only one of the most frequented spaces in your home, it also sets the tone for the rest of your design.
Practicality is the name of the game when it comes to keeping your entryway functional. Between rushing out the door in the morning and inviting in guests, this busy spot needs to work for everyone. That said, we don’t want to compromise on style.
Here’s everything you need for your entryway, plus our favourite picks.
1. Mirror
A mirror—small or full-length—is a must-have at the front door. It’s natural for most people to take a peek at themselves before heading out the door or to fluff your hair after pulling off a winter hat.

2. Hooks
You might already have a front hall closet or rack that you use to hang your coats, but it’s helpful to have some additional hooks on the wall. These are great for hanging keys, umbrellas, purses, and other jackets that may turn up when you have guests over.

3. Key bowl/tray
