Help me to finish my entry hall!
I have a 13 foot, 4 inch wall to cover. We are desperately seeking some type of mirro (possibly flanked by art or something. The current console table we have looks dwarfed in comparison to the wall. Please help!!

Help me find a proper white for my entrance hall
Comments (19)Benjamin Moore Linen White is a creamy white with yellow undertones. We have used it in our home in the LR, front hall, stairway and upstairs hall. It works well with either White Dove for the trim or Decorator's White. Re: your floors: Maybe consider painting the stair risers white. Your floors are beautiful! Add some area rugs and you'll have some color and protection in the entry area. From the BM site: Also known as Linen White OC-146. A decorator favorite, this light, creamy off-white is a never-fail neutral for walls, trim, doors and ceilings. As clean and comfortable as fresh linen, it relies on a yellow undertone for added warmth .http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/pm28...See MoreHelp me pick a colour for Hall/entry
Comments (1)Since it is just a pass-through area, I’d be inclined to paint it a light warm color similar to what you have there now. I’d also look into changing the lighting fixtures to ones that light the area better. The floor looks nice, is laminate going to hold up in an entry area where there might be wet shoes, etc.?...See MoreHelp lighten my entry foyer and hallway!!
Comments (2)Are you wedded to your console table? That's the main piece that gives off the gothic vibe since it looks like a kneeler in a church. Either that needs to be replaced with something lighter such as Beverley suggests--or even Lucite--or the medallions need to come down. Beautiful, light-in-feeling art--a pair of complementary watercolors with the palette below--would be so inviting. Add a runner rug in the same colors to create an inviting "path" into your home--something in blues and brown. In the meantime put a pair of lamps on your table--tall and thin or one with a rounded glass base....See Morethinking about putting cork flooring in my entrance hallway-any sugges
Comments (1)Sure...I used to sell cork for 6.5 years. Some referred to me as one of the most knowledgeable cork experts in N. America (not my words). What's your square footage? What's your climate? What's your substrate? How old is the home? etc, etc, etc. Cork has a wide range of 'happy' but it has some things that need to be addressed before it can be installed. Your location and substrate (wood vs. slab; slab age and location are HUGE indicators of what SHOULD go down vs. what you WANT to do down). Give me more info and I will advise you in the best way possible. Tell me where your samples have come from and what your plans are for install...and WHO is installing the floor...I'll help as much as I can....See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agosince it's such a long space, you're going to have think big here. and in multiples.
BTW, what is directly across? is is another wall or an open room? I ask because putting a mirror there only to reflect back another wall isn't a really a good idea. It would be better to hand art.
if all you want is a bench and a mirror, then make it oversized. long bench, large mirror, and then put something on the other end of it to balance out the space, like this plant.
so, long bench, and maybe a large (or two of them) pieces of artfor your space this wouldn't be enough. but if you did a larger potted plant off to one side, it might work
I like the extra long console, art, lamps, a handing light and don't forget a rug!
I like the idea of a statement art piece. and can you hang a light?notice the console flanked by the two chairs. it's a good tactic to eat up wall space
I like this idea. get a nice long console (this one is too short for you) and flank it w/two chairs. hang a beautiful piece of art (it should be as long as the console you get) bring in a lamp of something for the console. The blacks/whites and blues would be beautiful in the entry.
bring in some color (not pink, I'm just showing you how they coordinate w/colors and how the console and larger chair take up the room)
you have blues and grays and creams,,,find a little bit of contrasting color like yellow or orange to give that area some life.you could do something like this on the one side. a little settee and a console table
Console, style and chairs. perfect for an entryway. just make sure your console is long enough
you could easily do something like this, and flank either end w/some nice black white or gold chairs. (like I've shown previously)
That should take up most of that wall space. pick a console that is at least 6' in length
