I am looking for some help with ideas for my foyer. I like the round table. The clock, chair and lamp may need to be replaced. The walls are neutral - Shaker beige (Benjamin Moore paint color) and the carpet (runner on the stairs) is also neutral. Thank you for any suggestions.

It looks fine, just remove the chair. It's a little cramped with it there and it looks more like a dining chair. If you need somewhere to sit in the foyer get a low bench or a stool that can go under the small table.

I think a chair is a good idea in that space.

If someone comes, but not someone you want to invite into your home, they can sit down in that chair while you get their payment or the receipt, or whatever.

You can switch the chair if you like, but a chair or a bench is a great idea at the entrance.

I am not fond of the table covering. If you have done that because the table is nothing to write home about, please keep your eyes peeled at tag sales, auctions, etc for a nice round table that is not large for that place. Presumably you have adequate overhead lighting in that hallway so you don't need a lamp for that table, and no one will be sitting there reading either, so no task lighting is needed either. On that table you could put a tray for keys or mail if you like, or a plant or a vase .

On the wall in place of the clock you can put any type of art you like. No wall clocks as decoration ever, please, please. Unless it is really a vintage clock or piece of a clock, and then the clock or piece of it doesn't need to function as a clock at all.

You could also put a Christmas tree there too, in season.

Remove everything in that corner including the clock. Take the dining room chair back to the dining room. You already have a console table and a mirror to the left. You could add a tall skinny lamp to that.

Get a tall, full house plant. A palm would work there or a fiddleleaf fig. A plant is the perfect thing to fill in a corner. Look at HD for large plant at a good price.

Add a lamp or two to the console table.

This is what the table looks like underneath. It is a bit ornate for the space. It is the reason I covered it.

I would add lighting to the console and remove the lamp from the round table. I agree that the chair feels a bit crowded. Instead of the clock, replace it with a great piece of art-something that reflects your personality and gives people who come to visit an idea of the feeling that you want to convey about your home and family. Add a low maintenance plant in a pretty pot and call it good.

Looks better without a cover but is too much there with the console table.
TOO MUch.

You don't need two tables that close to each other... It doesn't look right. NO matter what else you add. Too much.

I really like the little stair vignette - chair, clock and table. I think it has a nice color balance. The tablescaping can change according to your whims or the seasons

What I would address is the large armoir blocking the sight line to the lovely outdoor view. I would also rethink the console in the entry. As leelee noted, it's a bit too much. I would remove the console and the mirror above it. Instead of a mirror, consider a larger format art piece that echoes the colors awaiting in the living room.

This is the table and mirror along the wall currently in the foyer.

Two of either of these. Or similar.

I would keep the chair and remove the round table. The chair serves a purpose; the table doesn't since you have the console on the opposite wall.

Oh wow!! I really like this chair, pillow and lamp. Is this a custom chair?

I like both of these tables. Can you share the manufacturer of the tables?

Thank you!

Klynn, the chair was just a google image, but it's just a simple Bergere chair with a leopard print pillow. For lamps, I just searched for "gold buffet lamp." The one I put on your console...

I do like some sort of mirror in that area so you can check yourself going out the door, same for guests coming in.

And I do like a small table next to the chair, so that if you have someone seated there and they are carrying something, a folio or a book, they can put it down.

The trick is to have them in adequate proportion to each other and to the size of the space as Irene Morresey shows in in her photograph. (Irene has great taste!) Maybe the tray for keys and mail can be on the console table.

If the entryway has abundant light you don't have to have a lamp on either the console table or the small table next to the chair.

There is nothing wrong with seeing the side of the armoire that is in the living room. That is what happens in an open floor plan when there aren't walls between every room. Don't worry about it for a second.

What you can do to help to define your entryway is get a nice runner for the floor in whatever colorway you like and reinforce those colors in the artwork you choose to put up in the space where the clock is now.

Please put a pad under the rug so people don't slip-slide and have an accident!

You can go with a lovely Oriental, such as a Persian or a woven tribal or nomadic or pick something else entirely.

Think about how your house is decorated, the colors and the overall flavor, and then go with that for the entryway runner, because you want your entryway to of course make your guests feel welcome, but also presage the overall feel and style of your house.
