Let's unlock these space-saving secrets! 🔑
Extend TV Wall for Storage: Got a small space or a living room greeting you right at the door? Fear not! Transform your TV cabinet into an all-in-one storage unit that stretches to the entrance. This clever design not only offers ample storage but also integrates the space with hidden door panels for a seamless look. Imagine a place for everything - shoes, coats, gadgets - all neatly tucked away but easily accessible.

2. Upgrade to a Storage Room: Limited foyer space often leads to a cluttered mess. The solution? Convert a nearby awkward corner into a storage room. Remember to include large cabinets for bulky items like strollers and vacuum cleaners. Organize items based on frequency of use and weight for easy access.

3. Material and Elevation Changes for Dust Control: No designated foyer? Create a natural divide using easy-to-clean materials like tiles. Different floor materials or a slight elevation can effectively contain dirt and dust in this specific area. A standard size for such a makeshift foyer is around 120x120 cm, considering the door swing and a buffer zone.

4. Double-entry Foyer for the Win: The lack of a foyer can be inconvenient for storage and dust control and may even raise feng shui concerns. Why not build a double-entry foyer? It offers ample space for shoes and coats, effectively traps dust, and solves any potential feng shui issues. Use a new partition wall or two cabinet structures to frame this space, tackling storage, dust control, and even feng shui in one go.
