I went to Sherwin Williams and the guy there said he doesn't know also (ha? what?) Happen to go to another Homedepot. This time the guy there said should use pray paint bottle like Rust-Oleum. Really? I am quite confused. @millworkman, Can't this type be used? http://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-Plus-Ultra-1-gal-Ultra-Pure-white-Semi-Gloss-Enamel-Exterior-585001/100550162

ibloomington.com/entryway-light-fixtures/entryway-lighting-fixtures-home-design-ideas/   given the ceiling height, architectural style, the wood tones, and the budget, something along this top picture style might be very nice. I guess it's just nice to put something circular in a square area? I like your house!!!! You might find a simple Tiffany style or Mother of Pearl type or style, that works well?? Enjoy! I like Beverly's middle option tooo!!

THE RULE Is don't make a second post!! Go to a real carpet store, ask to see stair runners that come in 36 inch widths.Have it made to the length you need and backed with non skid. Or look at area rugs in 3 x 5 for the entry if that fits.. No doormat sizes. Ready made runners will be too narrow for your space No to the rug under table. You need an 8 x10 and I doubt that fits. Nothing is far better, than a too small rug.

I agree that going without a rug is probably your best move. You can follow your heart for what to put on the wall -- one always should, anyway. If you feel lost, I suggest you look at clean, modern abstracts for a start, in colours you love. I'm not directly recommending this painting, because it's sold, but it's a good page to look at, anyway. I can just imagine something like this above that console. In terms of wider decoration, you could then use the colours in the painting by carrying them through to adjoining rooms. There are so many ways to do that. https://www.1stdibs.com/art/paintings/abstract-paintings/melissa-payne-baker-room-to-grow-mixed-media-on-canvas-abstract-painting/id-a_2587083/
