🏡 DERICA’S COZY CORNER: CREATE A DROP ZONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
If backpacks, shoes, jackets, keys and mail somehow end up EVERYWHERE, you may not need everyone in the house to suddenly become more organized. 😂
You might just need a better place for everything to land.
And no, you don’t need a big beautiful mudroom to make it work!
A few hooks for backpacks and jackets, a basket for shoes and a designated spot for keys and mail can turn even a small entryway into a functional drop zone.
For busy families, individual hooks, baskets or cubbies can make it even easier for everyone to have a place for the things they use every day.
❤️ My Cozy Corner rule?
Organize your home around how your family ACTUALLY lives, not how you think your home is supposed to function.
If everybody comes through the garage door and drops their stuff there… that’s probably where the drop zone belongs. 😂
Your home doesn’t just need to look good. It needs to work for the people who actually live there.
👉 Swipe through for a few simple ideas!
What’s the one thing that ALWAYS seems to get dropped by the door at your house?
❤️ Derica
