I have a large open concept home and the entry front stairwell dining room and living room are one big room.
Front door into dining room ideas.
The first one has an entryway a small hallway a nook near the front door or even a sharp turn that separates the front door from the rest of the home.
Off to the right is a formal sitting area and the office.
I want to keep my existing furniture and the large print but otherwise i m open to ideas.
My house in atlanta is the perfect example of this dilemma.
And then there s the problem that the rest of us face.
There are a couple of strategically placed columns and a dropped ceiling to separate the dining room from the entry and a couple of steps down to the living room.
This kind of fashionable furniture consists of a wide range embrace entertainment tables recliners side tables for studying lamp comfy and trendy stools and other ornamental wall units.
In this situation landing strips tend to migrate into the whole room.
If the new pieces could work with my existing curtains rug and table runner that would be a plus but i d like to hear any thoughts.
I thought about flipping the two spaces however a dining room would then block the doors to the office.
At the same time keeping a house in pristine guest condition 24 7 is unrealistic.
No one wants to open the door for guests into a big mess.
For today s design dilemma i m talking about how to design a living room where the front door opens into it.
You walk in the door and literally fall smack dab into the living room.
My front entry is part of my dining room so i need the two spaces to complement each other.
