Make the space more functional with memo boards 

Memo boards are a great way to make any room more functional. This minimalist memo board offers practicality in its layout. Simply hang the board on the wall using its adhesive tabs or place it in a frame. Add a touch of personality by framing a favorite quote, greeting, or recipe on the memo board to complement your home's style. It's also an excellent tool for updating yourself and loved ones on dates, times, and other important reminders. 

Put up some mirrors to make the foyer look more spacious 

Placing mirrors in a room instantly creates the illusion of more space. Consider hanging a full-length mirror in the hall for this modern entryway decor idea. A full-length mirror in your entryway lets you check your appearance before leaving and gives guests the impression that your foyer is larger. More than that, it gives character to a space that might otherwise be dull.

The clean lines and natural wood finish make this a timeless piece. A clothes rack is a convenient storage solution for coats and jackets, allowing you to quickly grab what you need as you leave the house.
