Entry

7 years ago

Don't know what to add to this area in my home. It has too many doors for me to add an entry table. I thought about putting a small table on the left side.
Any suggestions? Do you think my colors good for this area? I like coral/blue.
Trying to get pops of color instead of earth tone colors which I'm tired of seeing.

Help!

Do you actually need furniture in this space? What is at the bottom of stairs? Is that needed? Your floors look beautiful. I would go less is more. A gorgeous rug for in front of door. Beautiful light/chandelier for the entrance. Art. You may want to consider painting your front door to distinguish it from the others and give it more presence.

depending on your style...there are many contemporary chunky shelves too.

Looks like you have room for a thin table on the wall on the right, looking at the photo, right. If not a table a chunky shelf with a couple small drawers would work. I'd like a seat where the coral ottoman is but thinner and in a pop color which you could also do the on front door.

Hello Mary, If it's an old fashioned style then I say show it off! People pay a lot for these... I would choose mirrors that have an antique feel if this is the feel of the house... Even ultra modern styled homes have period fittings and they work beautifully.. If the hall is small then perhaps you want to think of something that might continue down the hall... so maybe you buy a couple and space them accordingly... Choose something that has good dimensions according to the height of the hall... This will also throw light into it and give it a feeling of space... So the mirrors can be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.. : ))

I would try a small foyer table, add a buffet style lamp if you have an outlet in this area. Also a smaller rug at the door or even a runner would look nice.

I agree that you don't need a table there, actually the space is too tight. I'd replace the earth tone oval with a bright pattern runner.

Where the bench is, you could put a tall piece of artwork. It could really make a statement. A few, unique shelves (like mentioned above) would look great as well and could be an opportunity for dressing up with fun photos, sculptures, plants, etc.

A brighter rug, a couple of hooks for keys and replace the dark mat at the stairs with something a little lighter.

Here are a few examples, of our design projects, of entryways. Consider using a brighter rug, some artwork or wall decorations, and if you want a bench try a thinner one.

The rug looks too large and too thick. You have so much going on with all the doors you don't need anything else in your entry.

Does anyone ever sit on the small bench? Is it useful or just for looks?
