This post is about no entryway solutions.
No Entryway: Ideas
1. Coat Rack
Adding a coat rack to your home is underrated! If you don't have an entryway, this is one of the best solutions. You can use the rack as an easy landing spot for coats, keys, purses, and more! There are so many coat racks to purchase and thrift to ensure it's the perfect match in your home.
2. Narrow Console Table
Adding a narrow console table makes the space serve a purpose, and it will create an entryway for you. I love the set up of this one especially because of the mirror. Adding some height with a mirror and florals elevates the space significantly. Even though this cabinet is narrow, it's still functional with storage options!
3. Adding A Tree/Plant
This may seem simple, and it is! By adding a tree with such height it can help close out a space. You could also add some hooks behind the tree to keep them hidden. This solution is mainly for aesthetic purposes of creating a space, but you can get creative with the functionality aspect.
4. Corner Shelf
A corner shelf creates an entryway for you! You can still decorate on and around this shelf for your own style. I love the idea of getting one with hooks for functionality! This is a great option if you have limited space with a corner.
5. Desk As A Landing Space
If you don't have a designated entryway, but you have other walls available, get creative! Using a desk as a second landing spot for keys is a great option. Adding a bowl for your keys like these will add the perfect touch. You could also add some hooks on the side for your purses and bags. You don't always need to buy new furniture if you have some pieces that already work!
6. Floating Console With Hidden Storage
Floating shelves or a floating console is a great solution when you have limited space. When you have open space underneath, it avoids everything feeling crowded. This solutions is also great if you need some extra storage.
7. Adding A Small Shelf
A small shelf makes a huge difference! If you don't have a designated entryway, a shelf can be added on the wall to create one. You don't need a ton of space for this to still transform your wall. Adding a mirror and decor will elevate the space. You could even add a small bowl to hold keys.
8. Bookshelf
You may be thinking how does a bookshelf solve this problem? A bookshelf can help section off the space to create a fresh space. This is one of the best no entryway living room ideas! Decor always looks great on bookshelves, but you could also add a tray for keys on it as well as some hooks on the side for coats and bags.
9. Adding Hooks
You would be shocked at how helpful hooks are when you have no entryway and no mudroom! These hooks will bring functionality to your home by allowing you to hang coats, bags, and keys. It also won't take up too much space on your wall. You could keep these hooks behind the door to save even more space!
10. Seating & Table Near The Front Door
Being intentional with where your seating and table is at in your home completely changes the space! Keeping the table and chairs near your front door can make it act as an entryway too. You can place your coats and keys there.

11. TV Stand On An Adjacent Wall
Keep your TV stand on an adjacent wall & put a bowl for keys there. You could potentially put a hook on the side depending on your space. This also helps with separating the room/space!
No Entryway: Shoe Storage
12. 3 Tier Console Table
I am obsessed with this look! If you still want more of a table look with smaller storage solutions, this is perfect! You could just keep shoes on the last or bottom two rows. Adding a mirror will fill the space more, but hooks are a great option too!
13. Storage Ottomans/Storage Baskets
This idea works well if you have an open concept home that doesn't have a designated entryway. You can go for a more narrow console table to help with size. The best part about this idea is the baskets you can put under it to store shoes!
14. Narrow Shoe Cabinet
This is probably the most popular no entryway solutions because it's small but offers great storage. The drawers open up to store shoes in them. IKEA has a super popular affordable option that we have in our home!
15. Clothing Rack
You can use a clothing rack for coat & shoe storage. You could place shoes below or on the bottom of the clothing rack. There are lots of sizes to choose from, and you can move it wherever with wheels on it.
No Entryway: Decor
Wall art is a must to add some decor to your DIY entryway. Some of my favorite ways to tie the whole space together is gold framed art work. I'm also a huge fan of wood framed art work, but you can add whatever looks best in your home.
Functional & aesthetic are the two best things about key bowls! Whether you created a small entryway or are using one of our solutions like a bookcase, desk, table, etc., adding a cute bowl is a need! You will be using this daily to hold your keys.
You can never have enough storage! Several of our ideas included ottomans and baskets to store anything extra like shoes. I love these because they can act as decor & add so much to your space while still serving a purpose in the room.
I love adding greenery and florals to any space. When you add a larger tree or plant it can help divide the room and create height. I love all the faux trees in our home, and they have completely changed the space.
It can feel impossible to create an entryway when you simply don't have the space. We understand how frustrating this can be, but these 15 entryway ideas can work with any space!
