In most homes, the entryway is a liminal space. Perhaps you hang a shelf to keep your keys, or maybe you can squeeze in a sideboard for storage, but it's difficult to harness the area's full potential. I was certainly feeling uninspired about the space in my small apartment – until I spotted the dramatic bookshelf display in Diane Keaton's entryway.
My city apartment isn't exactly blessed when it comes to square footage, and I've always seen the entry as a purely practical zone. In the late Diane Keaton's former Beverly Hills home, however, the space is used to display a veritable treasure trove of books, antiques, and photographs. It's an ingenious entryway idea, and it's filling me with inspiration.
