9. Making the Bed
Instead of pacing by the front door waiting for folks to come home, this home’s doggy can snuggle up in its own cozy space right nearby. Lion Builder Construction balanced the bottom bed section by tucking in a smooth trio of cabinets above, leaving space for thoughtful decor in the middle. The result for this Southern California entryway is a warm midcentury design that’s unbroken by external shelves but can hold what’s needed.

8. Pretty and Practical
N&K Interiors went for updated farmhouse style in this Surrey, England, entryway. Classic beadboard paneling gets a dose of drama from a dark color, and the pillows and bench cushion are done up in candy stripes. A woven rug warms up the stone flooring, while a wee ornate sconce adds useful decoration. Boots get their own cubicle to avoid muddying up anything else.

7. Tail-Wagging Welcome
Wallpaper printed with furry friends is a fitting backdrop for this transitional-style Chicago entryway by M House Development, given the adorable pooch sitting in front of it. (There’s a pet holding area too, not shown here.) A long bench allows multiple people to put on or take off shoes at the same time, and generous storage in the form of cabinets and baskets keeps messes at bay. A pretty rug, a basket of sunny flowers and a Dutch door add to the welcoming vibe.

6. Nature Lover
JHL Design gave this Portland, Oregon, entryway a refined lodge feel with Scandinavian-style elements. Pale celadon beadboard and curated decor elevate the rustic wood bench and shelving, while antlers, a deer-print pillow and a hat hinting at outdoor exploration firmly establish the lodge theme. Most of the storage is hidden to allow the decor to star, but below-bench niches and baskets make offloading footwear easy.

5. Fresh-Faced
Navy blue grasscloth adds texture to this entryway in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by A Lantz Design and Lantz Collective. An off-white built-in with beadboard backing, a light wood bench and woven baskets bring in fresh, beachy flair, joined by all-weather flooring topped by a sturdy natural fiber rug. Hooks keep smaller grab-and-go items at the ready, while drawers and cabinets hide larger gear.

4. Soothing Stopover
Staggered hooks with round heads in two sizes bring movement to this serene neutral entryway in Los Altos, California. The space, by 360 design studio, combines shelving below a long bench with vertical and horizontal cabinetry to keep items from migrating into the posh space beyond. Differentiated flooring makes it clear where tracked-in dirt should stop. A pillow and a tote soften all the linear features.

3. Love U
Scooped hooks play on a U-shaped mirror frame in this mudroom north of New York City. Riemer Kitchens & Fine Cabinetry hid the rest of the storage in drawers and floor-to-ceiling vertical cabinetry but placed a higher cabinet next to a lower seat for dropping items if needed. A patterned runner rug enlivens the otherwise mostly minimalist design.

2. Crossed Paths
This is just one corner of a spacious entryway in a Massachusetts Colonial home. But the tall built-in’s cutouts give you a good idea of the thoughtful approach that Cummings Architecture + Interiors took in designing the space. Natural woven shades, a woven basket and a hug-inviting pillow balance and warm up gray cabinetry, rugged flooring and simple off-white bench cushions. Brown cabinetry handles with metal-tipped ends join the cutouts in adding interest. Windows provide a woodsy view and ease the transition between indoors and out.

1. Minding the Storage
Corinne Acampora Interiors & Art created this popular entryway design for a New England home. Storage is the star here: Four tall niches, four open vertical nooks with a shelf and two baskets each, four below-bench drawers and four cabinets with holes to allow airflow mean four family members can easily locate what they need. The generously appointed space is done up in neutral gray, off-white and brown, with pendant lights, a natural fiber rug and horizontal beadboard adding interest.

Its flooring certainly can stand up to tracked-in dirt and snow, but this Concord, New Hampshire, entryway outfitted by Granite State Cabinetry goes well beyond the utilitarian. Wallpaper, attractive tile and woven baskets add decorative elements, while hooks, bins and cabinets can neatly hold summer and winter gear. One particularly nice touch: Each hook is perfectly centered on its beadboard panel.
