"Although you usually deal with both keys and mail in the entryway, keys seem to disappear when you need them, while bills seem to accumulate when you don&amp;#039;t. Both problems are addressed with similar solutions \u2014 a specific place for them in the entryway. Keys: Keep your keys from getting lost by giving them a specific place where they go the minute you walk in the door. You can use any of a number of key hangers available in a diversity of styles. You can also go the less expensive route of just mounting a hook for the keys on a wall or other nearby surface. If you have multiple sets of keys \u2014 including backup sets of your house keys and keys to locked sheds, second or third cars, and relatives&amp;#039; houses \u2014 keep them all in the same place. You may be reluctant to put anything more on the walls, especially if a key hanger interferes with your decor. In that case, keep keys in a decorative bowl or similar shallow container on a table by the door. Mail: Ideally, you would bring your mail in and take it right to where it should go \u2014 bills to the home office, catalogs to the bedroom or the living room, junk mail to the recycling bin or garbage. But, in reality, few people want to deal with mail the first thing on entering their home. That&amp;#039;s not a problem if you take a little time to set up a mail station in the entryway. If you have open wall space, mount wood or metal wall files like those used for magazines, or hang a decorative fabric pouch. If you have a table in your entryway, use trays or bins to keep mail tidy. Whatever storage solution you use, keep it out in the open so that you&amp;#039;ll see when you have a backlog of mail and be more likely to deal with it.
