The quick Scoop
Start with the wall, not the furniture
Corner entryway designs are one of the fastest-rising searches in home decor on Pinterest right now. The reason is practical. Most entries are not rooms. They are a few feet of wall beside a door, and every piece has to earn its place.
Measure the stretch of wall from the door frame to the corner, and note where the door swings. That number decides everything else.
Three rules for a corner entry
Keep the surface at one level
Put one console against the longest wall. Everything you drop on arrival, keys, mail, sunglasses, lands in one place instead of spreading across the room.
Give shoes a seat
A storage bench lets you sit to take shoes off and hides the pairs you are not wearing. Slide it under or beside the console so the walkway stays clear.
Hang one mirror, not three
A single mirror at eye level bounces light into a corner that usually has none. Pick one size and let it be the focal point.
