Ellen Pompeo uses wicker furniture, cozy textures, and Spanish revival accessories to create a mini living room in her entryway

Ellen Pompeo.

The entryway, famously the first room of the home (and therefore, arguably, the hardest to decorate), is inevitably a transient place. With this in mind, it's never conventionally a room designed to encourage lounging and socializing in the same way as a living room, for example. In Ellen Pompeo's Loz Feliz home, however, things are done a little differently.

The Grey's Anatomy actress enlisted esteemed designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to design a Mediterranean-style villa with distinct design influences (such as arches and pillars) and a neutral color base palette that runs throughout the property. This includes her cream-hued entryway, which is staged to look unlike any other we've seen before. In the space, Bullard arranged two wicker chairs, a coffee table, a console, and a striped rug to create (what feels like) a mini living room – welcoming guests to sit as soon as they enter the home.
