The welcoming ambiance begins with a wood front door, leading to an entryway thoughtfully equipped with a wall-mounted coat rack above an upholstered half-moon ottoman. This setup ensures practicality and style right at the entrance. Nearby, the living space is enhanced by white kitchen cabinets and an island, accompanied by wood counter chairs, creating a cohesive and flowing interior. Interior designer Camila Lyons emphasizes the importance of such a design, stating, “A grand entrance is key, complete with a bench for shoes and hooks for convenience. It should lead seamlessly to the living room without entering it directly, setting the stage for a home’s welcome.”
