Pottery Barn’s Gorgeous Shelf Creates an Entryway out of Thin Air
The entryway of your space is prime real estate. From a purely functional standpoint, it’s an area to store your go-to shoes, work bag, outerwear, and more. But more than that, it’s the way you welcome everyone — including yourself — into your home. Unfortunately, that welcome can often clouded by disorganized piles of footwear, coats, and bags. That’s where the hall tree comes in.
Hall trees are equal parts coat rack, shoe storage, and in many cases, a convenient seat where you can put on your shoes without toppling over. Ahead, our 10 favorite hall trees for any budget, style, and space — even tight corners!
