Designers rethink these high-traffic spaces, balancing first impressions with everyday function
April 29, 2026
"When homeowners think about spaces to redesign, they tend to focus on the large rooms of their homes. Exclusive Consumer Insights Now research conducted earlier this year found 62% of high-income consumers who plan to use an interior designer for an upcoming project will redesign their living room. Other key living spaces follow: family room/den and primary bedroom (both at 39%), kitchen (32%) and dining room (29%).
But what are the spaces that first greet a home’s residents and guests every single day? Entries and mudrooms. And they deserve love.
Designer Tamara Day showcased a line of entryway-appropriate mirrors with Varaluz in High Point, including the Scallop mirror with a gray shagreen frame and weathered brass details available in 36-inch and 54-inch sizes. Her new Farra mirror in square and rectangular orientations is framed in poplar burl with weathered brass." - Julie A. Palm with Design News Now
