Use a ruler and and a pencil to ensure you get crisp, straight lines. It doesn't matter how large or small this space is, adjust the dimensions to fit your home.
Paint the Space
Now that you have an area taped off, you can a begin painting. This project is great if you have left over paint from another project, like painting a kids room or an accent wall. This will make a clear designation where all the on the go clutter can be organized and contained. Make sure to put down the drop cloth to protect the floor from any spills.Finishing Touches
Add a bench or storage solutions in front of your painted area. Fun and unique knobs or hooks can be added to the wall to organize coats, purses and bags.
