9. Smart Repurposing
Interior designer Stephen Peck reused some existing kitchen shelving when he fully remodeled this cottage in Portland, Maine. By adding hooks to a wall-mounted unit, he created a useful spot for hanging bags, leashes and coats. Hexagonal slate-look porcelain tiles add a modern touch, while a colorful rug adds a warm layer that stands up to snowy boots.

5. Smooth Transition
Located at the end of a Hopkins, Minnesota, kitchen, this landing zone provides a good spot to pause before entering or leaving the house. A small desk area was a specific homeowner request. White Birch Design fit it in beautifully by incorporating the same blue cabinetry from the nearby kitchen into a workstation and a bench with shoe shelves. The result is a simple yet highly functional drop-off zone with a pleasingly cohesive feel.

3. Mudroom Marvel
These Detroit-area homeowners asked Meadowlark Design+Build to outfit their front entry foyer with mudroom functionality.

2. Coastal Creation
For this Massachusetts entry, architect James Phillip Golden created a central landing spot for people arriving from the pool, garage, beach and golf course to the home on Cape Cod. And the spot had to hold everything they’d be dropping off or needing, like sports equipment, flip-flops and pool towels. The vibrant, cheerful color palette was inspired by the kitchen’s wall tiles.
