doorih, I love the example you posted. The other ones...not so much. Will your entry be similar? I like how it shows off the entry and separates it from the other rooms coming off the entry. It's well done! DH lays wood, vinyl plank and other flooring. He's done this pattern many times. Angles and points are his favorite way to install tile, wood and even patterned carpet. Our den's antelope patterned carpet is laid at a 45 degree angle. But it will definitely cost more for the install and there will be more material to buy.

This is my opinion. I am not a fan of having two chairs in an entry way. I only use one because it's not a space that you're going to sit down with someone else and have a conversation. So only use one chair. Do not hang signs with words on them. Your house is too nice to cheapen it with that sign, so I would remove that. Then your problem with that table wall is you have too many items and they're all too small. Remove all of that and get yourself a couple of bigger pieces that make sense to be on an entry table. So maybe one decorative piece with a large bowl or tray. Or maybe a tall faux arrangement in the center and nothing else, let the piece of furniture stand on it's own. No candles, personal pictures, vases with nothing in them .... none of those things make sense there. And then either hang a much larger mirror over it or a large piece of artwork. You only need one lamp in the entry way so if you have one on the small table by the accent chair, then don't put another one on that entry table.

Looking for suggestions on how to tile or floor the landing area. No floors in the house right now so I can play around with ideas like tile or a different flooring pattern in the entryway to help separate the space from the rest of the open concept. Just flooring like the rest of the house will have going the long way down the house will be fine also but just seeing if people here have any ideas.
