9. Midcentury Flair
Two Hands Interiors kept the midcentury-modern-inspired style of this Glen Ellyn, Illinois, home in mind when designing its modest-size back entry. It’s open to the kitchen, so the designers wanted to make it functional and attractive. The slatted wall matches a detail on the range hood.
