10 years agoThis first pic is one of my favorites on Houzz and it looks to be a great match for your layout. Do you have a 'killer' Mediterranean chandelier for this space? What is the ceiling like? Your foyer seems to be a bit larger, so you'll need some massive pieces for it. Do you have a baby grand piano? Here are some other ideas.

Comments (3)Empty out the furniture and fixtures there, including the lamp and ceiling fixture.Use a storage bench instead for a place to sit and remove shoes. Shoes or backpacks can be dropped inside it. You can get much better lighting from a fixture that has lights to wash the ceiling and to light the floor. What is under your stairs? Do you have room to install some storage there? Pull out stair drawers might work for shoes, and you might add some pull outs under the stairs if they are suited for it. A foyer should serve to introduce you, your style and the decor to be expected in the adjoining rooms. I would key furnishings and paint to what is going on in the rooms left and right of the foyer. Everything I see hanging on the walls is hung too high. The general rule is that the center point of a single piece or a grouping should be 5' above the floor. If the first piece at the bottom of the stairwell is hung at that level, you can use painter's tape to tape the center line all the way up the stairs and arrange pictures above and below the line, with a few centered right on it for a more pleasant arrangement. Not knowing much about the rest of your home or your personal style, I might suggest you paint a soft color like Sherwin WIlliams Sea Salt....See MoreNeed help
Comments (5)Have you considered a shade of grey? I think something between pale and mid grey would be lovely with the dark floor and the white trim. It would compliment the rooms without trying to match them. You've gone for really beautiful strong and definite colours in both rooms (which I love) so I'd keep the hall a little more neutral as a backdrop to the green and teal....See MoreFireplace update help needed.
Comments (4)Hi Zoe , I had to take a second look to make sure this wasn't my photo! I have the same fireplace frame and our mirrors are similar! You have great taste ;) I can't offer any advise I'm afraid, but I'll be watching closely to see if something can be done. I wondered if it was possible to sand it down and paint it white or cream maybe, but the silver pieces may pose a problem. I'm tired of mine too. Here's hoping for some inspiration.......See MoreNeed help for kitchen
Comments (2)I think something like these tiles from Tile Style (http://tilestyle.ie/all-tiles/tiles/alchimia.html) could look really fresh or perhaps the herringbone tiles? Not sure where you can source these though but I love them. Good Luck!...See More

10 years agoHi first off I'm not really seeing the Whole foyer that being said the piece that you have in the foyer is dwarfed by the volume you need to set up some balance and symmetry , for instance adding molding to balance the window above the doors and making the Doors much more important by surrounding it with Moulding .
A lot can be done with paint instead of molding you can emulate molding with painting . Something needs to be done about the front door as well , you want to do cement the front doors to the floor but yet making it important by adding moulding (going a foot below the upper windows ) or paint around and above the doorway . When adding molding you can change the color of the paint inside molding to enhancing the space that adds more drama .
Also add a area rug that brings your eye in to the foot of the stairs .
Of course I can't tell if there is a fixture on stair landing or in the foyer adding one would enhance the space. Remember symmetry and balance we don't realize how much we love that but we know it when we see it . I hope this was helpful !!!
