The Inexpensive IKEA Storage Hack That Keeps Entryway Clutter At Bay

After a long day, it's so tempting to just toss entryway clutter like keys or sunglasses to the side so that you can settle in as soon as possible. However, failing to place those belongings in an assigned storage spot leads to a messy home quickly. To make matters worse, entryway clutter that's haphazardly thrown to the side easily becomes lost. If you have nowhere to place these items, consider installing the IKEA MOSSLANDA picture ledge in your entryway and attaching one of the EigPluy Kitchen Utensil Hooks to it. With this inexpensive IKEA storage hack, you can place small items on the picture ledge and hook your keys onto the utensil hooks as soon as you walk through the door.

Your items will be right there waiting for you when you are ready to leave for the day too. This is a simple way to ensure you always have a clutter-free entryway. The IKEA MOSSLANDA is only $7.99, while the EigPluy Kitchen Utensil Hooks cost $9.99 for a pack of two. The prices of these items make them super budget-friendly. And this way, it's easier to purchase more than one picture ledge to hang up to if you have a large family and need to store lots of items. You can also add decor pieces to the ledge to create a stunning entryway design.

You can easily install the IKEA MOSSLANDA picture ledge using the appropriate fasteners for your entryway wall material. Just follow the product instructions that come with the ledge to ensure you install it properly. When you are done, peel the protective backing off of the EigPluy Kitchen Utensil Hooks to stick them onto the bottom of the ledge. Consider adding the larger FLEXIMOUNTS Storage Flat Hooks to the ledge too to hang larger items, such as coats or bags. If you would like to decorate the storage solution, feel free to add small plants, small sculptures, or framed photos.

Another tip for keeping your entryway clean and organized is to add compact shoe storage. This way, you do not have to worry about tripping over scattered shoes when entering and exiting your home. The Z&L HOUSE 3-Tier Shoe Rack is an affordable option worth considering. You can slide it against the wall so that it remains out of your walking path. If you plan to add shoe storage near your entryway, this means you'll be putting on and removing your shoes in that spot. An entryway bench makes this easier, so you may want to add one as well. Select an entryway bench with storage so that you have yet another place to keep clutter hidden out of sight.
