Make peace with your property. A vestibule can also be a terrific way to take advantage of a sloping grade. While a staircase leading to the front door is rarely appreciated when one is fumbling with luggage or groceries in the cold, a vestibule like this allows an entrant to quickly park the groceries inside, and then shuttle everything up the stairs and into the home in relative warmth.
Consider pocket doors. If you don’t like the look of two sets of doors in a row, how about interior pocket doors? This way you can hide the interior doors when you want to open up the whole space. Additionally, doors inset with glass let the two parts of the home feel connected even when the doors are slid shut.
Urns. Typically seen in the garden or flanking front doors outside, these planters also can add classic garden shapes indoors. Try using one inside a nonworking fireplace, place a small pair of them on either side of the mantel, put one atop a side table or use them inside the front door.
