My front door opens on a corner of my living room one wall is entirely windows the other wall is the only place to have a living room.
Entryway front door opens into living room.
Take 2 take the previous idea from the inside to the outside.
I will probably do nothing until i give up the idea of turning the front porch into an entrance but a window partition could be a lovely solution.
Many homes whose front doors enter directly into the living room also have a roomy front porch like this one.
You walk in the door and literally fall smack dab into the living room.
Many front doors open directly into the living room.

For today s design dilemma i m talking about how to design a living room where the front door opens into it.
In fact many builders think that creating an open layout entryway and living room is a great idea with open concept being on trend and i m pretty sure these same builders don t have kids don t wear shoes and have never tried to put on lace up knee high boots without sitting down on a bench.
However it s not hopeless.
My house in atlanta is the perfect example of this dilemma.
Instead of adding a big piece of storage furniture and a sofa they flanked their entry with wall storage on one.
