Craft a Foyer Out of a Room Corner
Even if a corner is all you have, the right tools will give it the
functionality of a foyer.
You can contain a lot of the clutter in the
Country Corner storage locker ($399; available in three colors; L.L.Bean, 800-809-7057,
www.llbean.com). It has three
vertical compartments, each with two shelves, and hooks for hanging
scarves, bags, and raincoats.
The
Flip hook ($33, Umbra, 800-387-5122,
www.umbra.com) holding the jackets has hooks that pull down when you need them and
fold away when you don't.
The
Logga shoe rack ($20, Ikea, see
www.ikea-usa.com for store locations) has roomy slatted
metal shelves for fast drying and ample storage space.
The
Design Ideas mesh valet umbrella stand ($15, Cocoon,
800-842-4352) at left is narrow and sensible in a small space.
