Should I buy a much larger entry way rug?
Comments (40)As far as the entranceway rug is concerned, I'm in the "turn it 90 degrees" camp. I would really like to see a rug that lengthwise (orientation: facing the door) fits from the staircase wall on the left to the step edge on the right, and widthwise, from the door to at least the edge of the staircase, but extends no further that piece of wall partition. Another option is to go with something large but neutral to fit the space (like the sisal), but then layer a smaller rug or mat with a stronger pattern that you like where the length equals the width of the door. That way, the smaller one catches most of the dirt/mud/whatever, but the larger one gives the space the correct proportions. It's also a possible solution for the living room. And as far as the living room is concerned, I think part of the issue that you're having is simply from furniture placement. For example, I'll bet that the leather chair closest to the entryway door doesn't get used nearly as much as the other seats for two reasons: a) only the other leather chair is actually a comfortable talking distance from it, and b) people don't usually feel comfortable having their back to an entranceway. It tends to make us feel nervous; when I'm in restaurants, I sometimes find myself looking behind just instinctively. Your living room has fantastic windows and a wonderfully chunky fireplace that's the right scale for them, but the other side of the room doesn't seem to balance it out. A bookshelf or similar kind of unit is a frequent solution, and if you found something with a deep base, then you could use it as closed storage space (for your adorable little girl's toys, perhaps?), and then use the higher shelves for display, or just things you would prefer out of her reach. I'd also love another few shots from different angles inside of the living room. Right now, all I know on the one side is that you have a balcony above a green chair, but I have no idea if that wall partition is actually a full wall underneath it or just a support beam with a transition to another space....See MoreHelp Pls - Entry Tile pattern too busy-tile guy on his way
Comments (50)thanks all, ajsmama, yes I said Ididn't like the rug and I didn't, but this is the best pattern for that space andnow that I see it I see that dh and others here were correct. I know too funny, I now have what I didn't like and now like what i didn't like, strange process for me....See MoreHELP! Do twin entry way tables need to be decorated exactly the same?
Comments (66)Yes, I did read the same thing after your last post. So that particular mirror may be slightly off in width if my math is correct. Good thing about the quatrefoil mirrors, if that is what you chose, you can most likely find another that is wider. I would take some newspaper or something else and cut out a paper version of the mirror in those same measurments. Tape it up with some painter's tape in the space to help you visualize....See MoreHELP with Entry/Foyer color and TV console table.
Comments (64)Be careful with shiny paint in this space. You want the walls to recede and make the room feel more spacious. I can imagine using the pearl in a powder room or in a tray ceiling for a dining room. (The pros may be able to explain the idea better than I can.)...See MoreUser
