What is a Drop Zone in Your Home?

Question

Accepted Answer

Where does everybody shed their coats, leave their book bag, and stash their stuff when they come into the house?  That's a "drop zone" or a "drop spot" and they are usually a source of irritation and complaint.  Oftentimes, these areas are near entryways and exits. Coats, scarves, shoes, keys, mail, and more can all accumulate in these areas and it can quickly become cluttered if there is no method of organizing or containing all the stuff.

A well-designed mudroom is a popular option for creating an effective drop zone. A table or bench and some hooks near the front door can create a good drop zone there. What makes a good drop zone for you all depends on you and your family's lifestyle, schedules, and what tends to happen to all of your stuff when coming home or leaving.
