A niche would be a good way to add some drama without infringing on your circulation space. It doesn't have to be deep to be effective. You can do one simple vertical rectangle, and line the back with a mirror, or add some colour with paint, wallcovering or wood. It would be great if you could also add a recessed light fixture at the top. The attached images are perhaps too busy for your situation, but it gives you a good idea of what can be done. Good luck!

I love the tall units but you need to go straight to the ceiling to prevent dust and dirt settling on the top. I would put a row of small up and over cupboards along the very top as an option. Very handy for unsightly bulky items. I don't like the end open shelves by sink very dated but what you could do is a long double shelf all the way along the island with a wine racking either side for balance vertically. I think shelving each side of the sink would be better. You have a lot of cupboards but no deep drawers which are highly valued these days. Good selling point. I Like your colour suggestions... The little Greene paint company have a lovely grey so does farrow and ball. Where are you sourcing your Quartz and what flooring? Do your ovens have easy open shelf doors ..handy as they retract so don't get in the way as you take food out..Neff offer best ones. If you want a better balance of tall you could always do fridge freezer one side and pull out pantry on the other with racking. Then on sink side don't go all the way along the wall just have it as centred space so you can pull out larder doors. On your island you will need your bin as this'll be prep area? What is the room opposite tall cupboards? Need the island to look good from that side as that is what you will see. Hope of help. I'm embarking on the same thing and have spent hours and hours researching!

I have a double height entrance hall with window on upper level (on the external wall) - should I wrap the landing around under the window, or leave it as open space?

I'd focus on the landscaping. Add some flowers.

When those little shrubs in front grow your entry is not going to feel inviting. They will appear to be a barricade.

A planter under the doorbell, where the current candle holders are. Annuals in the flower bed. Perhaps along the boxwoods and by the tree.

Hi Hillary! Your house is beautiful, I love the tall entrance awning. Here are a few suggestions for what you can do to make your entrance a little more inviting. First, I think your greenery is lacking in style and intentionality; you have so much beautiful yard space that would look absolutely stunning with some wildflowers, lavender, fig trees, and so on. Its also a nice project for kids to help with, or an opportunity to pay some neighborhood kids to help. This might be something thats a little more involved, but the fact that the steps up to your door come from the side, and the front being blocked by plants is not very inviting. If you can, consider adding some steps and a path from the front door directly to the street, or have it loop back to the driveway. I also liked the other suggestions of a rain chain and some decor items. Another really out there idea is to paint the house, since the beams and front door are super dark. Since your roof is gray, you could easily paint just the house itself in a white or light gray shade, and it would create a much brighter appearance.

Take a look at our exterior paint palettes where we provide contractor-ready designs and specifications for how to achieve certain exterior designs. https://thespecbinder.com/collections/exterior-paint-palettes

Best of luck on your project!

SW Black Fox on the front door/wood supports and swapped out the shrubs for flowers. I still need to add some flowery planter(s). But much better! Thanks for the help.

I love the idea of the Rainchains. From where they meet the ground, create rock streams winding through the landscape to channel the water..
