The space in your entryway is a prized commodity – it should not only be super practical but also a welcoming sight when your guests arrive.
If you’re struggling with the limited space you have to use, you’re not alone. Narrow entryways are pretty common, and thankfully there are a lot of products available specially adapted for narrow spaces like these.
If you’re planning to update this space in your home and are looking for some great narrow entryway ideas, this article will give you plenty of inspiration for your home makeover.

Narrow Entryway Ideas: What are the Solutions?
Narrow entryways are pretty common, and if you happen to have one, don’t despair. You can still make the space very functional, and also look pretty and impressive for your guests.
When deciding what to use in your entryway, here are a few things you should keep in mind.
Practical tips for designing narrow entryways:
- limit the furniture to a minimum – a narrow console table that you can attach directly to the wall is probably the best storage and display space you will get
- make the entryway optically bigger by using a big mirror – ideally above your console table
- if you need storage space, try to use a narrow bench with simple narrow baskets under it. This is perfect for storage of shoes or smaller items
- keep the clutter to a minimum – do not add to many decorating elements that will make the space feel even smaller than it is
- look out for specially adapted furniture – there are a lot of options these days to choose console tables or even shoe storage that is specially made for narrow spaces, and they don’t cost a fortune either
- a long neutral carpet can draw the eye towards the inside of your house and can help to make the space optically bigger
- even a tiny narrow space can look amazing – think of adding fresh blooms or beautiful smaller decorative items on the console table in your entryway
- no space for a console table? Simply draw an outline on the wall, for the optical effect of a console table. Hang a mirror on top of it and add some hooks for storage. Voila, you’re done!
