A foyer with a simple, stylish drop zone does wonders for the way your family gets in and — perhaps even more importantly out of — the door. No more frantic searches for keys or last-minute discoveries that the bag all your child’s homework is in can’t be found. Just a beautiful, organized entryway that enhances your whole home’s sense of peace and calm.

At Clayton, many of our popular manufactured and modular home models feature a foyer as a dedicated space where you can welcome guests and help keep your family organized. Below, let’s walk through just a handful of our favorite foyer-sporting models. Add them to your getting-organized moodboard!

1. The Arabella

This modern farmhouse model sparkles from the moment you enter the Arabella’s full-sized foyer, with wood design accents, optional ceiling beams and an accent wall all there to greet you. What’s literally sparkling, though, is probably all of those windows. With a paned door and double windows on one side of the foyer and a glass wall looking out onto a spacious living room on the other, this entryway is seriously light-filled. And from the opposite end of the foyer, a second beautiful wooden door opens onto your flex room. Set apart from the rest of the house, its location gives a guest bedroom or home office the feeling of a bit more privacy.

2. The Tillery

With a classic layout and look that’s waiting to be your canvas, the Tillery’s front foyer would be perfect for a built-in storage option, like a hall tree with a cubby bench for kicked-off shoes (and anything else you choose not to stash in the foyer’s convenient coat closet!). If you’re eager for even more storage spaces, this home model isn’t short on them. Case in point? Directly off the ample living area, you’ll find a whole utility room, with more than enough space to hook up a side-by-side washer and dryer and add another coat tree or mudroom built-in to boot.

3. The Atlantic

There’s something truly luxurious about a spacious foyer. Maybe it’s the sense of making a grand entrance into the heart of the home. Maybe it’s being able to swing open the front door without the risk of, say, hitting whoever’s sitting on the sofa. Either way, we know we like the feeling, and that you will too with the Atlantic. With rooms opening up on all sides from the foyer — from the kitchen with its optional island and the separate dining room to the living or flex room (not to be confused with the family room!) — it’s quickly clear just how generous this space is.

4. The Anna Fae

Stepping into the foyer of the Anna Fae, you’re immediately greeted with the kind of artistic details that have made this home so popular on our social media. Its farmhouse-meets-minimalism aesthetic ensures you can have a sleek, modern look without sacrificing on any warmth or functional details at home. And all of those elements come together right from the very start in the foyer, thanks to a handsome, wood-paneled accent wall that mirrors the look of the fireplace in the coffered-ceiling living room opposite. Talk about glam! Don’t be so distracted by the entrance, though, that you forget to check out the rest of this stunner’s details.

5. The Country Aire

One of our larger models with 3 bedrooms and 2,040 sq. ft. of space — not to leave out its 3 bathrooms — the Country Aire is all about pairing elegant design details with efficiency. When you get home, hang bags and jackets on the foyer’s rustic built-in. A mudroom staple, it mirrors the look of the optional sliding barn doors you can find elsewhere within the house. Then, head into the adjoining living room, where more built-in details — here, bookcases gracing either side of a stone fireplace — await.

6. The Emma Jean

We had to shout out the sweet entryway built-in the foyer of the Emma Jean. At 2,160 sq. ft., there’s a lot to see inside this home model. Take your time soaking in all the details here, like the sliding kitchen barn doors that double as storage for your cast iron collection and butler’s pantry to the wood trim throughout the home and massive en suite bathroom and closet off the primary bedroom.
