How Do You Choose the Right Entryway Furniture?

The right entryway furniture transforms a chaotic space into an organized, welcoming entrance. But with so many options, racks, benches, mirrors, and hooks, how do you know what’s right for your home? Essem’s Scandinavian solutions offer a framework for American homeowners to choose wisely, combining practicality, style, and longevity.

Step 1: Assess Your Space

Before buying, measure your entryway and consider its layout.

• - Apartments: Limited square footage benefits from wall-mounted racks and mirrors.    

• - Family homes: Mudrooms may need benches, multiple racks, and hooks for kids.     

• - Townhouses: Narrow hallways call for slim, elongated furniture.  

Knowing your dimensions avoids overcrowding and ensures efficiency.

Step 2: Define Your Needs

Entryway furniture should serve your lifestyle, not just look good.

• - Storage: Do you need shoe racks, coat racks, or both?   

• - Seating: A bench may be necessary for families with kids.   

• - Aesthetics: Do you prefer minimalist, modern, or traditional warmth?

Prioritize function first, then style. 

Step 3: Choose the Right Materials

Materials affect both appearance and longevity.

• - Powder-coated steel: Strong, durable, and modern.  

• - Recycled aluminum: Lightweight and eco-friendly.    

• - Wood accents (birch, oak): Add warmth and natural texture.  

Scandinavian design emphasizes quality, ensuring your furniture withstands daily use.

Step 4: Think Modular

Essem products are designed to grow with your needs.

• - Start with a rack, then add a mirror or bench later.     

• - Combine multiple racks for larger families.    

• - Order spare parts if something wears down instead of replacing the entire product.

This modularity makes Essem ideal for evolving U.S. households.
