First impressions count. But if you’re greeted with piles of shoes, rogue keys, random parcels, and an umbrella that’s always wet every time you open your front door, you’re not alone. Thankfully, some clever clutter-busters can help with that - even if your hallway is tiny.

I know what you’re thinking, though. You’ve already tried to organise your hallway, and it’s barely made a dent in the chaos. But the difference between your quick tidy-up and what people with tidy hallways always do is that they have a helping hand in the form of smart storage solutions that work with an entryway, rather than against it.

That’s where Argos can help. From pretty-but-practical shoe storage to dedicated areas for your bags and coats, these are my top picks from Argos’s latest hallway storage buys - and how you can use them in your space.

Shoe storage doesn't have to cost a fortune. And although this one may not be the chicest option out there, it's ideal for those everyday shoes that need to be right by the front door.

Argos Home Pack of 5 Coat Hooks - Natural & Black

No hallway is complete without hooks for coats, bags and even umbrellas, and this five-hook coat rack is deceiving. That's because they're double hooks, so can technically hang 10 items!

Habitat

Habitat Saffield Shoe Storage Bench - Walnut

My hallway might be too small for this storage bench, but I still can't stop thinking about it. It offers storage and seating, and there's even hidden storage inside the bench for shoes, bags, and parcels you need to send back.

GFW Lancaster 2 Drawer Console Table - Cream

In my opinion, a great hallway console table needs to have drawers to hide those ugly (but important) items - like letters and dog leads. This one has a shelf for storage baskets, too, which I love.

Argos Home 7 Piece Metal Key Hooks - Black

I'm always losing my keys, which is why I'm snapping up this cheap-and-cheerful key hook to hang by the door so I always know where they are. The whole family can use it, too.

Argos Home Loft Living Hallway Tree - Oak

As soon as I saw this hallway tree, I knew it would be perfect in my narrow entryway. It's got a small footprint, but more than enough space to keep shoes, bags and coats off the floor.
