Dutch doors add instant charm to a home, like this one in Sabrina Soto's Los Angeles abode. They are also a super pet-friendly choice — just ask her dog, Harper. This stylish door makes it easy to let in fresh air, greet the mail carrier or pay for take-out without any furry friends making an escape.

This Kitchen Serves Up Style (and Treats)
When first-time homeowners Patrick and Katie Roetker moved in, the kitchen was completely bland. Green painted cabinets, patterned tile flooring and dashes of orange spiced it up. The couple's rescue dog, Ramona, is the official taste-tester at meal time.

A Pup-Proof Entry
Porcelain tile in the entryway looks striking, and it stands up to kids and dogs (Rebel and Baxter, the family’s English cocker spaniels). The funky pendant light and the gold-tinged cork wall covering create a warm greeting, but nothing compares to a four-legged welcome committee.

Patterns Unleashed
This spot is spring-like year-round with its painted wall mural featuring sprawling florals and bird-motif pillows (the fabric is by Schumacher). Joining the pattern party: a buffalo-check print on the bench, also in blue and white. Hudson, a goldendoodle, is the cutest neutral.

A Fetching Atrium
Even cooler than a mudroom: an interior open-air courtyard. The midcentury-loving homeowners made it peaceful with a bed of river rocks, plenty of plants, Bertoia Diamond chairs and a hip rug. Their English bulldog, Mackenzie, is equally glad to chill here.

A Drool-Worthy Entry
A leafy color on the walls perks up this small entry space. Homeowner Brittany Kingery painted an old dresser mint (Pale Oak Grove by Valspar) and added a vintage clock for quirk: “I didn’t want the first space people see to feel formal,” she says. The rug, a Craigslist find, brings the cozy — and pooch, Jellybeans, approves.
