Today, we’re showing you a few ways to achieve an open and airy look while keeping the vibe of your home warm and inviting. Open and airy storage not only helps create a spacious flow throughout your space, but it also lets you show off some of your favorite curated items so your space really feels like you.

Open Entryway Storage

What better place to feel open and inviting than your entryway? As the first stop for you and your guests, you’ll want to give special consideration to the items you showcase at the forefront of your home. Think out of the box and put your creativity to work! We love a mix of materials, items with varying heights, and some greenery to make open storage styling feel cohesive yet personal.
