The entrance is one of the most important features in any house design. It is the threshold between the outer public world and the inner private realm of the home; it elevates the moment of crossing from outside to inside, public to private, and suspends one in this in-between zone but for a moment. 

The entrance can introduce the values of the home's design. Whether bold or simple, avant-garde or classic, the entrance asserts the abodes personality. Let's take a look at 15 entry designs and get some inspiration…

1. A sturdy perimeter wall of stone and steel, with openings that permit views

2. A grand entrance with a moat and timber 'stepping stones'

3. Shallow steps, a line of plants, and a bold vertical entry

4. Recessed and cosy—a warm timber welcome

5. Stone and timber, with impressive concrete awnings

6. Irregular paving stones to break up the linear facade and a full-height timber door!

7. A narrow staircase engulfed in greenery, leading to an almost invisible entry

8. Sleek symmetry and a dramatic door

9. Frameless glass doors for a commercial look, accompanied by an entry pool

10. A classic timber door and vertical hedge

11. Cantilevered slate steps hovering over natural stones

12. A minimal approach: the stone facade steals the show

13. A grand entry complete with sculpture garden

14. Floating shelves: for the perfect vertical garden against the elegant concrete wall

15. An eclectic entry with palms, cacti, and bamboo trunks!
