What could be more frustrating than trying to
juggle groceries and your house keys at the front door? How about juggling
groceries, house keys, and a cane? One of the three has an easy solution...
Adding a low bench or wall-mounted shelf at the front
door gives the homeowner a place to set down the shopping bag without bending over or placing their belongings on a wet or dusty doorstep.
A wall-mounted shelf can even fold up out of the way when not in use. A bench makes a handy place to kick off muddy boots before entering the house.
Just be sure the door swings clear of your
addition, and there's room to maneuver a walker or wheelchair if necessary.
