1. Modern and dramatic in Florida. This entryway is all about drama. Houzz users loved the texture of the stone accent wall and the way it contrasts with the sleek stone flooring and glass railing.
2. Ultimate organization in Vermont. A little simpler in style than the previous space, this entryway provides great storage inspiration. Shoe cubbies for everyone in the house keep this space clear and clutter under control.
3. Checkerboard hardwood in Pennsylvania. The stained checkerboard floor makes quite a statement in this home's entry. Most Houzzers saved this photo for flooring inspiration, but several were also struck by the long hallway's welcoming layout.
4. Neutral vignette in a New York apartment. A simple vignette can transform a bare hallway into a pleasant, purposeful entryway. Texture, complementary shapes and neutral colors all create a natural and soothing space.
5. Sweet New Jersey cottage. Something about a Dutch door instantly says, "Welcome home." Houzzers saved this photo for the area's cheerful color palette and cozy corner bench.
6. Contemporary Chicago loft. Wallpaper can be a great way to visually distinguish an open entryway from the rest of the house. The glass-top table provides a contemporary complement to the more traditional wallpaper pattern here.
