Prepac makes an affordable assemble-yourself entryway organizer with coat hooks, shoe cubbies and a shelf. While organizing and de-cluttering your stuff, this casual, contemporary furnishing also adds style for only about $150.
Option #1: Use 1 Organizer By Itself.
With so many different compartments for shoes, coats, umbrellas, backpacks, purses and hats, you may think that this is all you need to store your gear.
And in fact, this one piece of furniture may provide you with all the storage space you need.
Note: Have a designated spot to put your mail, hang your car keys and keep your phone so you always know where it is. Not to mention, you can avoid having a bunch of clutter in the foyer. =)
In addition, the depth of these open storage lockers only measures 12″ deep. Therefore, if you don’t have much space near your front door or you have a small apartment, this unit may fit just right.
Option #2: Use Multiple Entryway Organizers to Create a Wall of Storage!
However, let’s get creative here. These entryway organizers are cleverly built so that you can line one up alongside another to double the size of your “mudroom”.
In fact, if you have a large family with lots of school bags, jackets and other gear, you may want to try three. See what I mean:
I find it easier to assemble multiple smaller units rather than a single large, heavy one. Also, you can re-arrange or move them if you ever decide to change the layout – or if you move to a new home.
Not to mention, you can save a significant amount of money. For instance, the Bestar Pur assemble-yourself mudroom costs about $1,000.
Yes, the Bestar is a little larger and about a foot taller. However, for double the price, it doesn’t provide twice as much storage. Or cubbies either.
Option #3: Using Matching Furniture to Customize the Look and Function of Your Mudroom…
Alternatively, you can customize the look and function of your entryway storage area with matching pieces. For example, take an $85 cubby bench and a $70 hanging entryway shelf with coat hooks to add extra seating, storage and hanging options.
You can easily create your own unique mini mudroom for under $300 with free shipping. As long as you are willing to assemble the units yourself, you can save yourself a bunch of money. Plus, you can get a stylish-looking entryway with lots of function too.

The manufactured wood provides a strong, sturdy structure and can take a lot of wear and tear. Plus, the laminated finish keeps the furniture looking good and is easy to clean. Of course, these man-made materials also help lower the cost of furniture so we can afford to make our homes look nice without spending our entire paycheck. =)
