You might be able to knock it out & relocate it, or simply move the door to the side hall to get it out of the way, but we don't know what is behind your walls to know what can be accomplished.

@houssaon No. 2 is the closet. No.1 is the door to garage

@BeverlyFLADeziner awesome ideas!! I also came across another idea to remove the door and creating a bench/mud room in the closet. Inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/99782947984319604/

Opinion? Would it be too in your face?

Having an entry closet is practical. I don't think having all the gear right as you enter is very pleasing. I think you should just keep it.
