Entryway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 99.196.181.10 (talk) at 03:18, 14 July 2016 (I figured, since the link for mud room leads to this article, there isn't much of a point in keeping it around. So I removed it.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

An entryway is a hall that is generally located at the front entrance of a house. An entryway often has a coat closet, and usually has linoleum or tile flooring rather than carpet, making it an easy-to-clean transition space between the outdoor and indoor areas. Many houses do not have an entryway; in these the front door leads to a foyer, or directly into the living room or some other room in the house.

Many suburban American houses have a mud room, a casual, generally secondary entryway intended as an area to remove and store footwear, outerwear, and wet clothing before entering the main house. As well as providing storage space, a mud room serves to increase the cleanliness of a house proper.
