Is winter beating your entrance hall into a mess with everyone shedding their woolies? Here’s a plan:
- Hang your keys on the wall or put them in a beautiful ceramic bowl.
- Find a place for the mail a simple clip or container should do the trick.
- No umbrella stand? Stand them up in gumboots.
- A classic wall hook unit will keep hats and raincoats neat.
- Have a storage container available for scarves and gloves.
- Put your foot down firmly for the rest!
