- By the door. A designated spot for keys, sunglasses, and your everyday out-the-door essentials.
- Mail landing zone. Keep incoming or outgoing mail corralled instead of scattered on counters.
- In the hallway. A quiet little catchall that adds function without bulk.
- Mounted low. Works at kid height too—for little backpacks or lunchboxes.
- In pairs. Use more than one to divide essentials: keys on one, sunglasses and wallets on the other.
