What do you do when your “entryway” is just a sliver of your living room? Designers have plenty of tricks up their sleeves for creating a drop zone out of nothing, but sometimes a one-and-done purchase is all you have the time or budget for. That’s where an entryway-in-a-box, also called a hall tree, comes into play. Some combination of a mirror, hooks, shelves, and closed storage, these multifunctional units are the secret to keeping a pseudo-foyer tidy, corralling your coats, keys, and other everyday gear in one intentional spot. Here are twelve options we love, whether you can only sacrifice a little wall space or want something more substantial.
