Designing a Functional Entryway for Irish Homes
Your entryway sets the tone for your home—but in many Irish houses, it’s also one of the most compact areas. Designing a functional entryway is all about smart hallway storage and furniture choices that work hard without taking up too much space.
1. Start with a Compact Bench
A small bench provides a place to sit while removing shoes and can double as storage.
- Met Bench White with Cushion – A stylish and compact seating option that also offers space beneath for accessories, shoes, or those random items that always congegrate in the hall.
2. Add Wall Hooks or Racks
Coat hooks keep jackets, bags, and scarves organised and off the floor, especially when space is limited.
- Met Hat Shelf Double White – Team the Met Bench with a matching double hat shelf with coat hooks. Modern and minimal, perfect for small walls.
3. Incorporate Narrow Console Storage
A console table with drawers or shelves adds structure to the entry without bulk. Use it to hold post, keys, or decorative accents.
- Confetti White Console Table – Slim and neutral, ideal for Scandinavian-style homes.
4. Use Vertical Space
When floor space is tight, go up! Install floating shelves or tall coat racks to make use of vertical room.
- Yucon Coat Rack High 12 HooksW – Adds height and functionality without bulk.
5. Add a Rug to Soften and Define the Area
A hallway runner protects floors, absorbs moisture, and makes the entryway feel warm and finished.
- Baltimore style 2 rug (70x240 cm) – Compact and neutral, ideal for narrow hallways.
