From habitat highlights - issue 40, bright ideas
Crafty DIYs to declutter and enhance your entryway.
As we embrace the indoors through the cooler months, it’s the perfect time to look at how we can downsize, reorganise and declutter.
Entryways are a really good, practical place to start. They’re small areas, with high foot traffic, often taken for granted, so you can get great results for less effort. They’re also usually the first impression visitors have of your home’s interior.

Think about what you can purge and what really needs to be in the space. If floor space is minimal, get creative with the walls. This DIY organiser is designed to store your essential entryway items and takes up little space. Or try your hand at the umbrella holder, which will keep your entryway looking neat, rain or shine.
