A row of hooks on the wall in your entryway is ideal for hanging jackets, umbrellas or bags without using any floor space. A slim bench shoe rack also gets rid of the clutter of shoes in the hallway and frees up space.
Wall Shelves
Shelves are the ultimate space savers in apartments. You can have a couple of matching shelves in your foyer to keep the mandatory keys, mail and other knickknacks.

Just place shelves at multi levels to create an area of interest while displaying all your curio items. Shelves can be used in the same way in the kitchen to store spice bottles or in the bathroom for your toiletries.
Multi-purpose furniture
