11 PREPARE YOUR HALL FOR WINTER CLOTHING
The chillier, wet weather of autumn and winter means the whole family will be donning heavy coats, boots and hats, so make sure your hallway is ready for the onslaught of all those items when they’re cast off as everyone comes in from the cold. Invest in a good doormat to trap dirt and help keep muddy footprints off your flooring. A bench to sit on while removing boots and shoes, with space beneath to store them, is a handy investment. An umbrella stand will keep your brollies tidy and catch drips, preventing water from damaging your floor. If you’re short of floor space, use wall hooks to store hats, scarves and winter coats.
