Entryways and foyers are essential components of any home, providing both style and functionality. A well-planned entryway enables homeowners to see who is at the door and protects against the weather with features like overhangs and recessed entries. Foyers serve as the perfect space to greet guests, offering a dedicated area for coat and shoe removal. With a minimum size of 6x6 feet and recommended flooring materials like tile or linoleum, creating an inviting foyer includes essential elements such as a coat closet and seating.
