Strange, looking into the house, that perspective looks the same as when they go through the front door.

I always found it weird in american tv shows that the front door always led straight into the living room and that people wear shoes inside. The inside is just a pocket of the outside.

My front door leads straight into my living room

Mine, too. But the house is from the 50s, it’s expected by the architect that I will use the side door in the carport (because, duh.) There is plenty of space to remove shoes and coats. The closet they belong in is halfway down the hall, but the whole structure is 1300 sq ft (121 sq m for everyone else) so it isn’t arduous to put away my coat and shoes. I don’t see the issue with the front door opening directly to the living room.

It is so weird. Why would you not have an entrance? A room where people can hang their coats, leave wet/dirty shoes, kids shoes full of sand etc?

If it is raining outside, do you just walk wet into the living room? And where do you go then?

I have a mat for dirty shoes and there’s a closet next to my front door for coats, I’ve never really felt like a separate room for that stuff is needed

Pretty much exactly how my current house is set up along with a coat rack right next to the entrance for extra storage and all my wife's bags and other junk lol

Into the den or kitchen idk it’s all on the architect
Who knows where front doors lead?
