An entryway can perform many roles in home design. It can provide an aesthetic preview by featuring materials, colors and decor that continue throughout the house. It can also provide function with storage for personal items and seating for taking off shoes. But at its core, an entryway provides a welcome to guests and family members alike. Here’s a top 10 countdown of the most-saved entryway photos so far this year.

8. Abstract Allure
“We wanted to add some distinction to the entry hall and make it feel separate from the rest of the home,” designer Tamu Green of Lux Pad Interiors says of the entryway in this New Rochelle, New York, home.
Tan wallpaper with abstract black lines wraps the space. Green also created a dramatic threshold between the hallway and the main living area by adding a shiny dark brown wallpaper that mimics lacquered paint.
