The entryway tends to collect shoes, umbrellas, walking accessories, and other everyday items, so it can become cluttered very quickly. With 100-yen shop items, you can create practical storage at a low cost.
How can you DIY entryway storage with 100-yen shop items?
Umbrella storage area
Simply install an iron wall bar on the wall so umbrellas can hang from it, and you have an umbrella storage area. If you add S-hooks, you can also hang a shoehorn and deodorizing spray. Covering the storage section with a full-length mirror, for example, will give the space a cleaner look.
Storage for pet walking supplies
By simply installing a wall hook in the entryway, you can store a leash and walking bag on the wall. Because it is easy to install, even DIY beginners can try it without difficulty, and they can quickly grab what they need right after heading out.
Storage for outdoor play items
If you install hooks at a height that children can easily reach and hang a net bag on them, you can store balls and outdoor play items together. Making use of the wall helps keep floor space open.
Which six 100-yen shop items are recommended for entryway storage?
White Trim Basket Wide
This is a wide basket designed to fit into unused space in a shoe cabinet. It comes with an index label so you can identify the contents, and it is also convenient for storing folding umbrellas.
Iron bar
If you install it on the inside of a shoe cabinet door, you can hang hats and similar items from it. It comes in several variations, including angled, U-shaped, and L-shaped types, so you can choose one that suits the installation location. It can also be used outside the entryway, including in the kitchen or bathroom.
Shoe case
It helps organize the inside of a shoe cabinet. Even high-heeled shoes can be stored by laying them on their side, allowing you to make the most of the cabinet space.
Magnetic umbrella stand
Just attach it to the entry door with a magnet. It can store not only umbrellas but also sunscreen and insect repellent spray, making it convenient to use right before leaving the house. It also helps prevent forgotten umbrellas.
Stackable small-item case
You can use it as a designated place for easy-to-forget small items such as masks and keys. Because it is stackable, it saves space and does not become bulky even when you use several.
Angle-adjustable shoe rack
This shoe rack stores two pairs of shoes in the space normally needed for one pair. It accommodates everything from flat shoes to high-top sneakers and heels, greatly improving the storage capacity of a shoe cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Can you DIY entryway storage in a rental without making holes in the wall?
Yes. If you choose no-hole installation methods such as tension rods, magnetic hooks, or hooks attached with double-sided tape, you can use them safely even in a rental property.
Q. Are 100-yen shop storage items lacking in durability?
For hooks and baskets used to hold light items, they are durable enough for everyday use. If you want to hang heavier items, check the load capacity and choose products from a home improvement store when necessary.
Q. What is the single most important point for making an entryway look neat?
The key is to avoid placing things on the floor. When shoes, umbrellas, bags, and other items that tend to end up on the floor are each given a designated storage spot, the impression of the entryway changes significantly.
