The stylish entry creates the perfect first impression for HGTV Smart Home 2019 in Dallas, Texas. A geometric porcelain-tile design inset within the white oak hardwood floor packs a visual punch, Old World-style chandeliers illuminate the space from above, and custom-framed black-and-white photography captures images of the local area.

Tall white pedestals placed on each side of the front door offer a spot for storing keys and add a touch of greenery to this entry that welcomes guests inside this well-designed home with all the conveniences of today’s technology.

The elegant solid mahogany front door with a protective black stain with a hint of gray includes a matte-black wireless Bluetooth lock with transom window above, and Flemish glass inserts that offer the look of hand-blown glass without the seeds or bubbles. The glass slightly distorts the view and allows natural light inside, but also offers a bit of privacy.

The base station for the home’s easy-to-use security system sits in the entry. This advanced security system is professionally monitored 24/7 by six different monitoring centers, even in the event of a power outage.
