How to Style Your Home's Entryway Like a Pro

Most of us come home bearing shoes, hats, purses, gloves, and other necessities — and if you live with roommates or family, it's easy for piles of stuff to accumulate. That's why you need to conceal, conceal, conceal. With its lift-up top, this Briarson Storage Bench ($200) cleverly hides those items when they aren't needed. We recommend placing inexpensive bins within the bench compartment to help you stay organized. When it's time to leave, the bench becomes a comfortable place to sit and put your shoes on. (And no need to go crazy with the throws and pillows on an entryway bench. Simplicity works!)
