Entryway Inventory Guide for Homeowners

Entryways serve as the first impression of your home and often contain a mix of functional and decorative items. During an insurance claim or a construction project, documenting the contents of your entryway is essential to ensure all items are accounted for.

This guide will help homeowners list and categorize common items found in entryways, providing a thorough inventory that can assist with insurance or renovation processes. Keep in mind that we did not list a number of items that could be found in an entry - like a hat, a pair of shoes or a soccer ball - because those aren’t very practical to predict. As always though, be careful not to double count items.

Types of Entryways

Main Entryway: The primary entrance to the home, often the most decorated, as it sets the tone for the rest of the house. It typically features storage for shoes, coats, and everyday items, as well as decorative elements like mirrors and lighting.

Mudroom: A practical entry space designed for storage and organization, usually located near the back or side entrance of the home. It often includes hooks, shelves, benches, and storage solutions for shoes, outerwear, and sports gear.

Side Entrance: A secondary entryway, often used by family members, which might be less formal than the main entrance. It usually includes basic storage solutions for convenience and accessibility.

Foyer: A larger, more open entry space that serves as a welcoming area for guests. It often includes elegant decor, statement lighting, and functional furniture to enhance the home’s aesthetic appeal.
