The back entry is painted in Statton Blue from Benjamin Moore.

This historic home in Austin, Texas welcomes guests with a pleasing light blue entryway. Notice how they same color is used on the walls, trim, door and even on the bench.

Create a space for your shoes by adding a small shelf beneath your hooks. Your makeshift mudroom storage need not be fancy, it just needs to do the job.

Every home does not come complete with a full-on Martha-style mudroom. But you still need a place to hang your coat and hat at the end of a day. Hooks up high and a little bench below create a functional mudroom space in the corner of an entryway.

Another option is installing basic coat hooks, and labeling each one with a different name. If you're living in a multi-person household, having a zone for each person can be incredibly helpful. It's also important to organize things in a way that makes it comfortable and easy to store them. Shoes should go on the floor so they can be kicked off quickly, while jackets and hats should hang at eye level.

4. Take advantage of a small space. Just because you don't have a mudroom doesn't mean you can't have an attractive and orderly area to corral your belongings when you come in the door. A simple built-in or floating shelf and a few hooks are all you really need.If you want to make this zone feel like its own miniroom, try painting or wallpapering an accent wall to frame the area. Want it to blend in instead? Paint the wall and shelving to match the color of the surrounding room for a seamless transition.
