Float a simple console to create a quasi entryway. Its streamline appearance keeps the space functional, yet virtually invisible.

A modern take is a custom-built, floating console table with built-in niches for display and just enough room for a small bud vase. Good things do come in small packages.

This is one of my favorite entry consoles ever. Thoroughly modern and simplified, this little box does so much in the small space it inhabits. It floats more than 18 inches above the floor, providing a spot to store shoes. It has many nooks and cubbies for organized placement of keys, notes, and change, and it even has a small floating shelf for small flower or framed picture displays to welcome you into the home. Just perfect. Next: Floating Features for Smaller Spaces

Catchall. A place to ditch things such as your keys, bag and mail can be a huge help. Not only do you have a place to set things when you're toting an armful of groceries, but you'll also save time in the morning when everything is in one place. More ways with console tables

There are many kinds of floating furniture pieces you can install in a wall, too! They are great space savers and look really sleek and contemporary. Next: More ways with floating furniture

What a smart way to make use of the odd niches of space that splits tend to have. These floating shelves would be right at home in my foyer, which is way too small for a freestanding piece of furniture.

Having a space for the family's electronic accessories is another great addition to the entry. Today, almost everyone has a cellphone, computer, music player or other chargeable device, and it can be difficult to keep things straight. Setting up a spot for all of these necessities near the entry means that things won't get lost, and your daughter will never forget her iPod again. This stunning charging console was custom-made, but you can create the same look with a charging station set on top of a small table or console.

As we accumulate more tech gear, from smartphones to tablets to e-readers, cabinet makers are coming up with improved storage systems for our gadgets. You'll find more and more models with built-in charging features.

9. A charging station. With so many gadgets to charge these days, we're all running out of outlets. Houzzers suggest having a designated charging station where they can get all the juice they need while staying neat and organized.

This isn't a charging station, but it certainly could be with the addition of a power strip. Right by the front door is a very handy spot for your electronic necessaries. The recessed niche makes things look much tidier than if they were all sitting on top of a shelf. I like that this niche looks like it is lined with felt.

In-box and Out-boxWith the advent of online shopping, bulky boxes arrive regularly. Because these items are cumbersome, a traditional in- or out-box container just doesn't cut it. • Again, designate a spot by the door where these items should stay.• Don't let them linger for more than one to three days, to keep the space clear and ready for incoming and outgoing boxes and belongings.• Store scissors and shipping tape close by.

This is the ultimate catch-all spot. It has built-in chargers (something to consider) and a minimalist, contemporary look. Most of our catch-all drawers will never look this good, but we can try.Tell me: What are some of the crazy things you found in your junk drawer?Browse more weekend projects

Mount a landing station. This floating cabinet has room for keys and personal tech items, and even has a built-in charging station.

This dark floor continues up the staircase, leading the eye upward and giving the space a natural flow. This clean treatment provides a perfect foil for the furniture and artwork.
