September is usually a busy month. Kids are going back to school, there are no more lazy summer days on our calendar and instead, there are many errands to do.
With that in mind, I picked 20 items I believe add not only beauty but also functionality to your entryway. We all can and should have an organized space when we first enter the house. This can make our days a little easier and I'm all for that! I hope you enjoy them. — Luciane from Home Bunch

This entry locker storage is perfect for the family. I'd love to have it at home because it provides enough storage for gloves and hats, as well as a place for jackets and shoes. Use baskets on the upper shelves to add some color. Oh, and the price is great for this kind of quality. It's something that will last for many years so it's worth the investment. Perfect if you like something neutral in the mudroom.

| A pendant light can look great in an entryway. I prefer the ones that have chains so you can easily set them to the best height for your place. This one would look fabulous with a filament lightbulb for some drama. |

You know how busy mornings can be, right? This rug comes in a great color and the message is just perfect when starting a new day.
Note: Well, shoot. It looks like the rug is currently sold out, but keep an eye on the retail site and it might pop back up.

Accessories are also an opportunity to add color. This umbrella stand has a classic look and you can choose one in your favorite color. They offer it in red, white, turquoise and green.

I simply love how happy this fabric is! It's like adding a summer feel to a room. I usually recommend a settee in the entryway because it offers more space to get ready than a single chair — perfect if you're like me, with kids at home.

Art is essential anywhere in a home. I like seeing pictures like this one in an entryway — use a couple of them to bring some interest to the room.

Nothing's more annoying than having a clean house and seeing people come in wearing boots filled with dirty snow. I keep these boot trays right by the door so the kids are sure to put their shoes in the right place.

| Plants are not mandatory, but they always add a homey feel to any space. Live plants are my favorite and this one would look great anywhere. |

This is such a simple table but it brings so much charm! I love it cottage-style. It would look great by a chair or settee and will add more storage space to the mudroom.
