Small Entryway Storage and Furniture Ideas

A well-planned entryway can set the tone for your entire home, even if you only have a few feet to work with. This curated collection of entryway furniture for small spaces is designed to make the most of every inch, combining style, storage and a welcoming feel.

Whether you’re outfitting a narrow hallway, a compact foyer or an apartment entryway, the right pieces can turn even the smallest threshold into a functional, beautiful space.

Furniture That Works in a Small Entryway

When floor space is limited, multifunctional and slim-profile pieces shine. A narrow console table offers a surface for decor and essentials without blocking walkways, while an entryway storage bench doubles as seating and hidden storage for shoes or bags.

Floating wall shelves and wall-mounted hook racks keep everyday items within reach while leaving your floor clear. For even more smart space-saving solutions, explore our small spaces organization ideas.

How to Create an Entryway in a Small Apartment

If your apartment opens directly into the living room, you can still define an entry space with the right layout. Position a compact table or bench near the door and add a decorative accessory like a tray or basket to corral keys and mail.

An area rug, such as one from our entryway rug collection, can visually separate the entry from the rest of the room while adding warmth and texture. For more inspiration, browse our enviable entryway ideas for layouts that work in tight quarters.

Decorating a Small Entryway

The best small-space entryways layer both function and personality. Style your console with greenery, framed art or a sculptural accent to create visual interest. Mirrors are another smart addition, making the area feel brighter and more open.

If your entry flows into the living space, coordinate colors and textures for a cohesive look. Our decorative accessories can help tie the space together. For apartment dwellers, check out our small space living room ideas to see how entryways can blend seamlessly with adjoining areas.
