One of the things that can make such a nice looking home have that disorganized feel is when you first walk in and see coats and shoes near a door way piled up.
When guests come over for a visit, be sure that you have a place for all their stuff. Empty out a closet, a cabinet space, or drawers. Box your personal items and temporarily set them in another room until your celebrations are over. Visitors will ask that ever-popular question, "Where can I put this?" What the "this" is have a place for it from a hat to a bag.
Consider purchasing a coat rack if closet space is limited. Also, get a shoe rack. There are other racks for things like umbrellas. Some shoe racks double into shelf spaces too which would be great to collect your visitors' miscellaneous things.
A throw rug near an entry door is a must-have. You never know what people might carry on their shoes. Encourage guests to bring favorite slippers or have a few readily available if you are concerned about dirt all over your freshly shampooed carpeting. Have shoe covers available just in case you have an unexpected maintenance issue and a worker has to come over to fix something wearing dirty boots.
