Transform Your Entryway: Easy 10-Minute Tips

annievillaroman

Starting your week with a quick win can set the tone for your whole home. And where better to begin than the very first space you walk into—your entryway!

Your entryway is like your home’s handshake: it welcomes you, your family, and your guests. But let’s be honest—between shoes, bags, and weekend clutter, it can get chaotic fast. The good news? In just 10 minutes, you can transform it into a calm, inviting space.

10-Minute Entryway Reset

  • Put Away Shoes
    Gather those pairs scattered by the door and place them neatly on a rack, in baskets, or back in closets.
  • Sort the Drop Zone
    Mail, keys, and loose papers tend to pile up. Take a quick moment to recycle junk mail, file away important papers, and hang keys on a hook.
  • Clear Backpacks & Bags
    Empty out lunchboxes, sports gear, or weekend extras so your family is ready for a fresh week.

Why It Matters

When your entryway feels fresh and clutter-free, the rest of your home automatically feels lighter. It’s a small change that makes a big impact on your mood and your Monday.
