The entryway is an important place that can be forgotten when you’re decorating your apartment. Usually, people are most focused on decorating their bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, but the entryway shouldn’t be left untouched. It’s generally the first thing your guests see when they walk into your apartment home, and you want it to be a well-organized, beautiful space.

When decorating the entryway of your Alachua, Florida, apartment, consider adding:

• Hooks or bowls. These items can be a great place to keep your keys, so you don’t have to go rooting through the apartment for them when it’s time to leave.

• A doormat. This will catch any dirt that can get dragged in from outside.

• A basket. Add a basket on a table or shelf by the door to be a catch-all for mail, shoes, and other odds and ends you may carry with you into the apartment.

• Art, plants, or a mirror. You can choose to hang framed pictures by the entryway, place a fake plant or flowers on a table, or even hang a mirror for those last-minute checks of your appearance before heading out the door. (As always, use Command™ Picture Hanging Strips when hanging anything on your apartment walls to ensure damage-free hanging.)
