The Entry Way

In my Space Planning class, we were learning about entryways. I never knew an entry way was so important. Being the first impression of the house, it should be perfect.

What I learned about Entryways:

-A bench should be there for guests to take their shoes off (but seriously...who makes their guests take thier shoes off?) I don't know, but I like it! In wet places, it's a perfect place to remove boots.

-Don't forget the hooks to hang coats or hats on.

-There should be an awning above the door on the exterior, because what guest wants to sit in rain or have icicles falling on their head? (i'm in Rexburg mode)

-There should be a mirror because people are "observed & greeted" at the door.

-The floor should be hard (wood, tile, etc.) to make it easier to clean. A mat gives guests a place to wipe their feet.

{My Ultimate Favorite}: There should be an umbrella rack.

What's classier than an umbrella rack? Seriously, my future home will have an umbrella rack. Just the thought of it gets me excited...
