The Best of My Houzz: 20 Entryways That Draw You In

Opening the front door to these unique homes from our My Houzz series tells us much about the creative folks who live in them. After sorting through and choosing 20 favorite entryways, I noticed that many of my choices came from the Pacific Northwest, the American South and Canada. It seems people who hail from these areas have hospitality down pat. Here are 20 welcoming entryways — perhaps one will inspire you to give your own entryway a makeover.



Moody and grand in Salt Lake City. “My grand hallway is a great landing spot to drop keys, bundle up before heading out, check your face in the mirror, feel sorta fancy,” says homeowner Cody Derrick. The gray tones, fantastic finished wood, long mirror and lithograph set a moody, luxe tone his Utah apartment. You also learn right off the bat that Derrick is not afraid of bold graphic wallpaper and that you’re likely to see more antlers inside.



All dogs allowed in Austin. Margaret Hoffman’s country property in Texas serves as her home and a sanctuary for dogs she’s finding homes for. There’s nothing like a prominent ceramic pooch in a minimalist home to represent a passion for saving animals. The sealed concrete floors are easy to keep clean with pets.



Artfully sticking to a budget in Texas. Homeowners Sarah and Jack Greenman know how to stretch a budget. In lieu of expensive wallpaper, Sarah took inspiration from Jamie Meares at Furbish Studio and painted their striking entryway to look like wallpaper herself. She also made the painting with the little white bird.
