Designing an Entryway: Step 1 – Layout Your Space

What you learned:

Starting with your entryway layout:

• Indicate that you are designing an entryway by selecting “More Spaces” once you click “Start Designing.”
• From the “Start Designing Your Space” page, click “Enter Your Dimensions.”
• Choose a layout from the left-hand panel. Since you are laying out an entryway and not a traditional closet, include the dimensions of your home’s entryway space.
• Once you are finished, click “Save & Continue.”
• Next, on the “Start Designing Your Space” page, click “Auto Layout Areas” OR add walls where there are plus signs (+) indicated. Click on the (+) signs next to the wall you would like to organize using EasyClosets product.
• Then, select your preferred Unit Mount Type and Top Shelf Height.
• Most people like to include a bench in their entryway. To achieve this, select a lower Top Shelf Height in this step of the process. In this video, we selected a 19 11/16” Top Shelf Height and a floor-based mount type.
• Click “Save & Close.”
• To indicate where your door is in in your entryway, select the wall where it’s located, then select the “Obstructions” button from the left-side control panel.
• Navigate to the Design Center in the lower right-hand side of the design stage. Select the door obstruction and it will appear on the wall you selected.
• Click and drag the door to move it, or resize it using the “Clearances” obstruction control.
• Click the 3D view to check your progress and visualize your space.
