By now, you should know that there are no miracle cures in decorating. But this idea might be as close as they come. If you want a shortcut to giving your entryway serious style, there’s just one answer…

These 10 homes from the Apartment Therapy archives each make smart use of pattern in the entryway. See a look you love? Click through to the tour and check out the resource list.
