The Entry The entry is not a gathering place, but it is important because this is the first impression of your home.Your entry should facilitate the flow of people and storage of items.
Make a list of everything that you want to store as you enter your home and then we can decide what you need for storage.
This space, in particular, should be clutter free for safety purposes.Removing shoes as you enter the home is appropriate in some cultures.
It is also a good health practice to get into so you do not carry the pollutants, pesticides, germs or chemicals and transfer from your shoes to your home.
One thing I consider a necessity for all foyers is a seat so you or your guests can safely and comfortably remove their shoes. If you have space, a chair or bench would be perfect, and then an attractive place designated for shoes.
