Entrance Foyer
Foyer need space for table, (flower arrangement, place for keys) closet, bench to take shoes on/off; umbrella stand. Remember lighting and outlet for near the table for a lamp. This new traditional Craftsman house also has a standard size entrance door, 36 in. (91 cm) wide and 80 in. (203 cm) tall, and there is also a transom above it that helps it to relate to the taller door of the coat closet. The overall size of this foyer is generous and includes a built-in bench where shoes can be removed. The seat height of a bench should be around 14 to 15 in. (36 to 38 cm). Notice that the coat closet door is relatively narrow. Doors narrower than 24 in. (61 cm) can be difficult to find off the shelf.
An entrance door is centered within each foyer and each has a chandelier, albeit of considerably different magnitudes. Each also has a beautiful table, upon which rests a vase of flowers. Mirrors allow the play of light and provide reflection, and color adds emphasis. These elements are common to many entries. Attention to the scale of the details and the execution of the design make them successful here.
