1. Guide the Way Thoughtfully positioned lights can be used to gently draw visitors to your door. Lanterns on the gateposts of this house by Nautilus Homes in Sarasota, Florida, are followed by a trio at the entrance — two mounted on the porch columns and a larger one suspended above the front door.

A compact built-in stands just inside the front door, partitioning the entry from the living room and creating a modified mudroom. The unit includes a mirror, storage compartments and a small bench with a curved detail that eases traffic flow. Wood slats add a touch of warmth and further separate the area while allowing light and views through.
