9. Dog-Friendly Approach
Everyone, including the family dog, has a personal cubby in this Charlotte, North Carolina, home by Pike Properties. Board-and-batten paneling above the built-in bench subtly establishes individual drop zones, with hooks above and baskets below to keep things tidy yet handy. A permanent spot for the dog’s food and water bowls is tucked out of the main walkway while still being readily accessible.

8. Traditional Take
Dark paint gives this Minneapolis-area home by Hendel Homes a dose of classic English style. In addition to serving as a landing zone, the countertop across from the built-in doubles as a charming potting and flower-arranging area.

A glass-paneled door and large sidelights bring natural light into the entry of this Westwood, Massachusetts, home. The pros at J.P.
