Map what actually arrives
Shoes, coats, bags, keys, mail and deliveries may need different storage.
Keep the route clear
Storage should not narrow doors, stairs or normal walking paths.
Create a paper decision point
Incoming mail should move quickly to recycle, action or filing.
Adjust by season
Wet-weather gear and winter clothing can require more drying and storage space.
