Ideas for entry way

5 years ago

I need help on what should I add or take away. I dont like the wall table because it seems too small. Also, is the mirror a good fit for that small area?

You're right, Kent; the table and the lamp are too small with the mirror, which looks fine from what we can see. Can you back up and take more pics that show us more of the entry area?

Thank you tnfarmhousefixin! I agree the gallery wall looks off. If I do keep the family photos, it needs to be completely redone. And yes to bringing the pics closer together! We do not enter/exit through the front door. Like ever. We come in and out though out garage Front door if pretty much only for visitors/guests. Are you suggesting a table on one of the walls that flanks the dining room? I just don't think that will work bc it's a main walkway. However, I am interested in replacing the entry way table I already have. That one is just a little small. (It's "original Thomasville, lol, from my parents! Easily 40 years old:)

Hello, it really depends on where you live (what zone) how much light it gets whether all day, early in the day or all day, etc.... you might look in to a dwarf pygmy tree or consider a little color and get a taller planter with a decent diameter and relocate this planter. Something like this would be very pretty and give some color.

I wouldn't get rid of the glass sliders, I would play them up and turn them into a wow factor. Hang a nice large mirror on the opposite wall and then a chandelier that hangs between them that reflects into an infinity effect. I like the idea of a console table at a height so its accessories and flowers can also reflect in the mirror above them and be brought into the effect. The table would have to be narrow because the door opens kind of opens into it. Paint the walls an interesting color. I think any color or any hanging light fixture you choose would be fine. Have some fun.

Looking for ideas on how to decorate the front entry way

On the right lower deck, I’d have a seating area … chairs, table, bench, etc, any color: I’d also have a few bigger pots of plants, instead of a bunch of smaller ones. Rendering of front entry with chairs: I’d get plant stands or other bases to have varying levels of decor you do, not just have everything sitting on the decking.

The mirror is too large for that table, but with the carpet layout you could hardly get a larger foyer table with the legs both on and off carpet and the front door looks like it would hit a larger table when open. So...I would say a smaller mirror or art over the table. What is the purpose of that small framed picture? to the right of the mirror? Can you take a picture of the whole living room, pls?

I would find another place for this table. I would do a floating shelf so that it can span across the carpet and hardwood.

I would remove that small corner piece.

Do you really need this table here? Do you enter your house here and want a place to throw your keys, etc?

If you usually enter through another door and don't need this table, then you can keep the large mirror, but center it on that wall.

We enter through this door. The table mainly serves a purpose so I can place a lamp there . Im still working on the other side also, as far as what should I do. Thanks, I'm open for all suggestions

Would your bookshelf fit where you had the demilune table! You could switch them. The bookcase could have small lamp on top and tray for keys and act as a drop zone. I would remove all wall hangings and then reassess how to best use them. Right now they look very random.
