With a polished concrete porch, stylish sconces and a chic black door, this beach home in Encinitas, Calif., makes a great first impression on visitors. Red rocking chairs add a pop of color to the space, as well as give the owners room to watch their young daughter play.

Designer Corine Maggio used a Dutch door to fill the foyer with natural light while keeping the couple's child safely inside. To the left, a wooden bench and matching coat rack help personal items stay organized.

Four wood beams overhead continue that farmhouse feel into the living room. Thanks to double doors that open to the backyard, the owners and their guests can enjoy ocean breezes from the comfort of the sectional.

In the corner, a warm leather armchair serves as an extra seat for visitors. A reclaimed wood coffee table completes the space and keeps drinks in reach.
