Shaker peg rail bench

A Shaker-style entry settle: a barn-red pine bench with three boot cubbies under a solid cherry seat, and cherry posts rising behind it to carry a backrest rail, a row of six turned cherry pegs and a hat shelf on top.

More entry & mudroom designs

• Oak slat drop-zone wall A hallway landing strip in oiled red oak: a slatted wall over a charcoal backer with five brass hooks, a floating two-drawer drop zone for keys and post that glows warm underneath, a low two-tier shoe shelf on the floor and a hat shelf up top.
• Moss batten hall with over-door library A narrow hall turned into a library without losing a millimetre of its width: moss-green board-and-batten wraps the doorway, its head casing runs on as a rail along the whole wall, and on that rail a 200mm oiled oak shelf carries a three-metre row of books right over the door, held on six cove-cut oak corbels. Below 2.1m nothing but the plinth blocks stands more than 34mm off the wall, and the 12mm MDF lining under it all takes knocks from bags and bikes.
• Juniper entry wall with bench and mirror A whole entry in 430mm of depth, built as one juniper-green panelled wall: four shoe cubbies under an oiled oak bench, a tall mirror framed into the panelling at its centre for the last look on the way out, oak hook rails with brass double hooks either side, and a hat shelf on cove-cut corbels over the lot. Coats, shoes, keys and the mirror all happen in the two steps by the door.
