A home entryway works hard — corralling shoes, keys, bags and more — all while offering a warm welcome and setting the tone for the rest of the home. For ideas on creating a stylish and practical drop zone that leaves a lasting impression, check out this countdown of the 10 most-saved new entry photos on Houzz right now.
In designing this Alta, Wyoming, home, Lindsay Schack and Kluane Gorsuch of Love Schack Architecture followed Passive House principles, prioritizing energy efficiency and a deep connection to nature. That meant the front entry needed to support thermal comfort and indoor air quality while framing expansive landscape views and welcoming in natural light, all without compromising protection from wind, snow and intense sun. A separate mudroom down the hall keeps shoes and outerwear out of sight, allowing the entry to remain open and uncluttered. Large-format decorative floor tile and thoughtfully selected furnishings complete the warm, modern look.

Marble floors, high-gloss blue walls and vintage-inspired floral wallpaper turned this once-blank San Francisco entry into a bold and welcoming jewel box. Designer Marcy Duque of IDF Studio aimed to make a dramatic statement in the small space, pairing eye-catching style with everyday function — providing just enough room to drop your keys and slip off your shoes — without sacrificing impact.
Key Entryway Dimensions for Homes Large and Small
The homeowners of this newly renovated New York duplex wanted an entryway as distinctive as the bespoke details found throughout their home. Designer Michele Bitter responded with a sophisticated makeover that includes a sleek console for keys and mail, a compact pouf for slipping off shoes and a showstopping custom chandelier. Herringbone flooring, Armani Casa wallpaper and custom brass stair railings elevate the space. Bitter also transformed a former bar under the stairs into enclosed storage.
In this spacious West Lake Hills entry, just outside Austin, Texas, designer Audrey Scheck embraced a modern farmhouse sensibility with warm, traditional touches. A wall of built-in cabinetry and a bench provide ample storage and seating, while a generous doorway and dedicated closet enhance the home’s functionality. The wood-and-glass front door, along with its transom and sidelights, frames serene outdoor views. Wood-beamed ceilings and crisp molding add architectural character, giving the entry a relaxed yet refined presence.

High mountain style sets the tone in this Breckenridge, Colorado, entry, offering a striking preview of the modern mountain home beyond. The space, by Collective Design, celebrates nature with expansive sidelights, a transom and a vertical window that frame the outdoors while supporting the home’s passive solar strategy. A slatted wood ceiling with recessed lighting echoes the clean lines of the front door and highlights the fringed chandelier. Textural elements — including rugged stone walls, a sleek metal bench and a natural jute rug — add warmth and depth, mirroring the surrounding landscape.
A mix of modern and rustic elements defines the entry of this new-construction getaway at Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum, Washington. Designer Emily LaMarque, who uses Houzz Pro software, curated furnishings and decor with an earthy, grounded feel that nods to the landscape while maintaining the home’s sleek, contemporary aesthetic. A durable rug stands up to damp feet and muddy paws, and a pair of playful ottomans offer a stylish spot to sit while slipping shoes on or off.

With no formal foyer to work with, designer Kristen Ekeland and general contracting firm Risher Martin transformed a spacious covered exterior entry into an inviting interior space for this West Lake Hills home near Austin, Texas. A heavy wood door was replaced with a custom steel-and-glass design that ushers in natural light and lends an airy, open feel. Ekeland elevated the new entry with bold, curated elements, including a custom high-gloss lacquered console, custom-commissioned artwork and a striking statement light fixture.
The owners of this Fort Myers, Florida, residence sought a front entry that felt breezy and welcoming, striking the right balance between casual comfort and tailored style. Designer Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions captured the essence of Florida living with a clean, coastal-inspired space that’s as inviting as it is practical. Sleek-lined wood console tables with baskets offer smart storage, while double doors with translucent glass maintain privacy and invite natural light through a glass transom. Textured wallpaper and a soft, light-hued rug enhance the serene, laid-back feel.
Leferink uses Houzz Pro software to manage her business, including for 3D Floor Plans, Mood Boards and “invoice tracking to communicate with clients more clearly during the design process,” she says.

The most-saved new entry photo on Houzz comes from a serene lakeside home in Orono, Minnesota. During the remodel, builder Sven Gustafson of Revision set out to create an entry that told a story with natural materials, abundant sunlight and a strong sense of place. A handsome wood door, flanked by sidelights and topped with a transom, floods the space with light and sets a warm, welcoming tone. Thoughtfully chosen details — a hand-woven console, carved lamps, a porthole-style mirror and nautical artwork — subtly nod to life on the lake and complete the inviting narrative.
Gustafson and his company Revision use Houzz Pro software. “We used Houzz to help the client visualize the transformation of key areas, including the front entry,” Gustafson says. “The homeowner appreciated the real-time feedback tools and product tagging for sourcing.” His clients also found him on Houzz. “Our profile helped them discover our portfolio and connect with us initially,” Gustafson says.
