CLOSER LOOK:

The foyer of Ann and Barry’s home is as wide as the great room it adjoins, a feature that accommodates many arriving guests but made it harder to differentiate in an open floor plan. Interior designer Laura Yeager Smith accomplished the task by installing white pan eled wainscoting that extends nearly to the top of windows flanking the arched double doors, then covering the remaining drywall with blue grass cloth wallcovering. “We designed a custom-scaled rug for that area,” Smith adds. “We wanted it to be wide enough … so all the guests could step on [it].”
