Adding to this on the right day: I also moved a plastic box into the closet and filled it with woollens for storage over the summer, folded the quilt the way someone mentioned on here a few days ago, moved a box half full of shoes (these are good work shoes, they don't need to be in the entry way while I'm not working, so I've moved them out so there is more space there) in front of the quilt, and generally fit more stuff up in a space that gets used only for storage.
