3 Interior Designers Transform The Same Front Door | Space Savers | Architectural Digest

We gave interior designers Noz Nozawa, Erick Garcia, and Mandy Cheng a photo of the same empty front door space in a home—then asked each of them to create a design for it in their particular style, however they pleased. Three artists, one canvas, each bringing something different to the space. See which designer comes closest to creating your ideal entryway.

Noz’s designs are very creative but always give me so much stress. A table in the middle of nowhere like that?😭😭 Mandy’s space are always so practical and Erick always kills it 😍

[RamMohammadJosephKaur]

Who else agrees this is one of the best series by AD? Please continue!

[charfree]

It's always funny when Noz starts out simple and then immediately does a 360 with something WILD😂

[TwistedCyclonix]

I like how Mandy’s design stays true to what was already in the space and also adds to it, like that patterned glass is beautiful.

[NEESHiMinaj]

When a creative is asked to create with no limits, it really shows their range. I’m always fascinated by Noz’s work because it’s actually out of the box.

[fromviennatoyou]

Noz is so creative, but the table in the middle would annoy me so much when I arrive with suitcases at the bed&breakfast

[nikinik]

Eric Garcia is the absolute winner!! I love his aesthetic whenever I have the opportunity to see his remodeled spaces.

[AngelaMay]

I decorated my forier alot like Mandy's. Eric's is inspirational 👏. Noz's is consistently unexpected, original and I love her planet, but I can't live there.

[Casper-mdbm]

Noz design is fun and unique but I still think the foyer would look better without the gold drips ..
i think it would be fun to see everything from her point of view she’s just different and bold love her

[meditatingmoonshop]

Erick was my favorite. So open and beautiful!

[jayashrishobna]

Mandy's is a winner for me! Feels so old-world and warm. The chevrons in the glass are just stunning.

[ampontour]

Erick is the winner by far. Gorgeous concept. Noz’s table in the middle of the doorway is insanity and a non-starter on every level.

[labellecongolaise]

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one annoyed by the table in front of the entry door. Eric’s foyer’s design is my favorite.

[sadie]

"This is probably the most ludicrous space I've done." - Yes, Noz, you are correct. Eric's design was my fave but I can also see Mandi's chic cabin.

[vanessahow]

I would love to see a "drugstore" version of these series, where designers are restricted to a budget, and what they can concoct with that restriction? So us small beings who can't commission or pay for pricey artists can get inspiration from!

[MrAnnette]

Eric’s space is the most beautiful, relaxing and soothing entry I have ever seen. He wins hands down!

[victoriathisemo]

I really love Mandy's design. It's practical, minimal and quite-a-timeless to me.

[ektachauhan]

This is my favourite series of this channel❤️

[theedraye]

I love Noz’s thinking because you never know what you’re gonna get from her. She thinks of a lot of chaotic and awe aspiring designs that other designers wouldn’t dare put out. Maybe a little bit correction or changes but it definitely invokes creativity just hearing her explain her ideas. I love this whole series. Keep it up! 💖
