Featuring versatile floor plans, provides homeowners with flexible options for their entryway that accentuate their lifestyle, such as a drop-off station for everyday items like bags and shoes or a wet bar where you can unwind with some beverages and snacks.

6. Designing a Dining Room for Every Occasion

Featuring stunning statement fixtures, elegant accents, and premium finishes, the dining room is a space that can be easily designed to fit your wishes. If you prefer an easily accessible dining area for everyday use, consider a centralized location that seamlessly transitions into the great room and outdoor living area. If you desire an elegant space for special gatherings, a secluded area of your home that emanates a formal, elegant setting may be best. The dining room may also be designed for additional functionality, such as wine storage and display.
