I love the table and hope it works in your space. I like the idea of the light from whatever lamp you use shining down through it. Yay!

Yes, it should be just right!

It looks perfect for your space - hope you're happy with it when you get it home!

Keep the packaging when you order it. I had a small hall table in a 52" wide hallway and moved it after a year. It's been packed up waiting for another place or another house. In the end it was just visual clutter. There's something lovely about a long stretch of uncluttered hallway.

Love the table - it's beautiful - but in that narrow a space, with those corners? No way. I wouldn't do it. My thighs would be bruised up at least once a week. Think about how many times you'll be coming through with arms full of groceries and not see that corner. And if you have kids, it's stitches waiting to happen, sorry to say. Do they make that style in a demilune?

I like the table a lot. I don't think I care for the only lamp I have that will fit on it, though. There's plenty of room to walk around it. It's not an obstruction at all. But I have no idea what type of lamp should go here now.

maybe something lower, squattier (is that a word LOL) that would be below the painting? Table looks good!

Try the lamp you have on the living room end table to see if that shape is a better fit.

The table looks great! And yes, maybe the little lamp from the living room?

The table looks like the right size. I would put lamp at other end of table and lower the artwork. I know you have the pieces hanging evenly, but it needs to connect more with the table and since the other two hang in the arched niches, it will be okay to lower this one.

Looks much less daunting in the actual space. Very nice! Do you need/use the lamp? Maybe swap out the lamp for a bowl or basket for keys? Otherwise, I'd go with a smaller accent lamp.

Love the table and it seems to be a perfect fit!

That table looks perfect there!

Table is perfect. I would "borrow" lamps from other rooms to see if you can find something that will work and then you'll have a better idea of what to look for.

If you try Allison's idea of lowering the painting you might try a nice picture light above. I think that would give a beautiful glow for the hall.

Either the table is too low or the painting is hung too high, but there's too much wall space between the table and painting. Proportionally, need a very tall buffet lamp there but it would be in a position to tip over too easily. I still prefer the space without the table, because it doesn't really add anything.

Well, the whole purpose of this is because I want lamplight in the foyer.

I really don't want to lower the painting. It's perfectly in line with everything else in the foyer and I know DH will really pitch a fit if I even suggest it, so let's just say that's not an option. The mica lamp in the living room is too big for the table. I ran to Home Goods and picked up a lamp but it's too bedroom looking now that I have it home. I also ran into Target and bought this one. I'd seen it before and thought it was a neat little lamp. I kinda like it, although I'm not sure what else to use on the table. DH thinks it's too big.

I don't want to use a lamp that's going to stick up over the painting. That's what bothered me about the first one I tried. I don't want one that's too wimpy either though.

Nope, that lamp is going back too. DH just said to try it without a lamp - negating my whole purpose - but I arranged some of my special Native American baskets and I hate to admit but actually I like this even better than having a lamp here. (DH maintains that we don't NEED lamps with our recessed lighting. He doesn't have the same love of a glowing lamp that I do.) Anyway, if I keep the table I will likely use it thusly.

Thank you all for the helpful advice. I haven't responded to each comment but I have definitely considered each suggestion. After all this, I'm very pleased with the table and baskets. It feels like it carries our home's personality a little further towards the entry.

I like the lamp you own! Perfect on the table! And DH is right - dont start cluttering it up with other things.

Do you have dimmers on your recessed lights and foyer chandelier ... you get more of that "glow" when they are dimmed down. Dimmers are easy to buy and install ... thanks Dad for teaching me that skill!

I very much like the table with just the baskets. It's a dramatic look that totally fits with the painting above it and the personality of the rest of your house. I frankly like this much better than with a lamp. This may not have been your original purpose, but to me it looks so right.

If you need a lamp I would keep looking. For now though the baskets look good as they carry the idea/theme of your three pictures. It looks like an art gallery wall. The lamp gets in the way.

Actually, if you were going to do a lamp I would look to your artwork as inspiration and not the table. I would also try placing it at the other end of the table.

I do like the lamp idea you had in mind originally. I think what I didnt like about the ones you posted was the lamp shade. I think the shade should maybe mimic the table and be rectangular and slim instead of round and squatty. Also the placement would look best centered on the table. Here is an example of one, perhaps not your taste but shows you the shape I am talking about.

Baskets look great! Better than it did with the lamp. Beautiful collection.

I like the table, Jen ... and I would want some sort of "glow" there, too. Sorry if this was mentioned, but what about an uplight type of lamp? This is mine in the kitchen:

This way, it wouldn't have to be the tallest item on the table to work around, and you'd have a nice little bit of light there.

I would love to see your white/ivory lamp centered under the picture. & turned on. Or any other lamp that ended just below the painting & would have some up lighting

Definitely a lamp there, but one that uses no more than 60w. I like the uplight idea a lot! 60w adds the best light for an area like that.

Here's my lamp on the desk, it has a rectangle base. You might be able to find one similar so it fits the depth of the table.

We went on a local art hop last night and in one of the shops I saw some really cool lamps ... not anything like you'd find in HomeGoods or Target. Maybe take a look at similar stores in your area.

The arrangement you have on there now is sooo perfect!!!

If you decide down the road on a picture light check my link above. You can get battery ones with a remote.

I like the basket arrangement and it works well with the style of the surrounding rooms. I know you wanted a lamp and I agree - there is something about the glow of lamplight - overhead lighting will never compare. But maybe this spot is better without one - especially because of the cats and the cord. It looks good Jen!!

It does look very nice, I just knew you wanted a light but your DH brings up a valid point.

I like the table a lot, but I'm not sure I like it there. A clean open hallway has its appeal.

Since you are going with the baskets instead of a light, i.e., the table surface is functioning as a shelf would, the table legs now seem superfluous and what I see first, rather than what is sitting on the glass surface.

Thanks! And I promise it looks much better in person than what these pictures can convey. :-)

That table works perfect there, nice choice Turquoise :-)

I just want to say again that I think this is a perfect look, something to please the eye as you walk along the hallway. I don't think any kind of lamp would look appropriate there. This has a theme and no one would question why it's there. A lamp there to me just looks odd.

What about a lantern with flameless candle inside. You can even change the color candle. Like these.

Love your table and I really liked the first lamp you had on there....I am like you..love the glow at night. Good job on getting the table.

While I also like unobstructed hallways, your table seems to fit just fine. Given you are worried about the cats, I think I would live with the unbreakable basket arrangement for a while to see how the kitties react. They look great anyway. And later you could make a change.

It is perfection! I love the way you decorated it in the last photo you posted of it. You have great taste!

The table looks good, if you'd like a small lamp for warm glow, like what msgg posted, look for some sort of an accent lamp sort of like a salt lamp, but not a salt lamp.

I live on this forum but don't post often. I want to thank TurquoiseRose for sharing her hunt for the perfect console to put in her hallway/ foyer. I've been searching for years for a similar piece to fill a blank space in our family room, restricted by a French door that opens against the wall so not much depth possible. I just ordered this from Pier One and want to give you a shout out!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

seagrass

Thanks again for the comments and ideas. I doubt we will add a lamp now - DH really doesn't want one there and I'm pleased with the current arrangement.

seagrass, hope you'll like the table when yours arrives! There's not much to it - 4 iron pieces and the glass top - but it's a decent little thing. I really like the thickness of the glass.

No lamps, it doesn't need anything else. Looks perfect now. You did a fab. job, I really love it.

MizGG, I think we must have the same tumbled marble backsplash. I love it! Would you tell me the source for your uplight?

Thanks, Holly-Kay! I'm sorry, I don't remember where I got the lamp, it came home with me about 12 yrs ago. I used to have it on our bar cart, but like it in the kitchen now--except for the plug! Need to figure out a way to hide it.

Thank you for responding Miz. I think it looks great. I want a lamp for my kitchen counter but it's low on my priority list.

I just wanted to say it's really becoming a home. When you first got there, it was great, don't get me wrong, but I can see you're finding the home's personality and your fit. I really like how it's coming along. The mobile was awesomely perfect for that space! Hanging the pictures was a big step that way, now, you're setting them off? Really cool. Makes me smile.
