Why Your Apartment Needs A Landing Strip (And How To Create One)

After a long day of working hard, being jostled on the subway, and just generally being awesome, all you want to do when you finally get home is relax. But, it’s kinda hard to achieve a sense of true calm when you have all of the day's tasks staring you in the face. The bright yellow purse, the laptop in the printed designer case, the bags of miscellaneous work stuff, all that stuff that's splayed across your coffee table or seated right next to you on the sofa is reminding you of all the things that still need to be done.

This is why it's entirely critical to create an entryway in your apartment or home, regardless of whether or not you think you have the room for it or not (hint: you do!).
