The 5 Entryway Design Rules I Follow on Every Project – And Why They Always Work

Entryway with large black and white staircase, round coffee table and large central light.

The entryway is the first thing people see. Get it right, and the rest of the house already feels considered.

The entryway is the most skipped room in any renovation. People run out of budget, run out of time, or assume it's too small to matter. It always matters. It's the room that sets expectations for everything that follows – and when it's done well, it makes the whole house feel more intentional from the moment someone walks in.
