foyer decor help
I’ve never had a foyer like this and not sure what to do! I just painted the table, not sure if I like it or not...
Any suggestions on what to do with the space is appreciated. I was thinking maybe an accent chair by the lamp?

Comments (2)Let's start with what style you like, or maybe another room in the house we can kind of help understand more. For the entry, I might go with a semi-flush light so it could be a little larger in scale but not hang too low. for the rug, I would go with like a 4x6 or 5x7 maybe even round. so it fills the area a bit more and helps balance in with the staircase. I would probably put a rubber matt for shoes by the floor heater to help dry them and to keep them warm :) doesn't seem to be too much space for a table here but finding a little half-round or small side table to put by the door for keys and mail could work. This is basically just to give you an example ......See MoreHelp with decorating my foyer
Comments (13)Because the table is ornate, you need something clean. Its all about the juxtaposition. I would look for a large round simple metal framed mirror. Black, bronze, or antique brass would all look great. Picture credit: Rooms for Rent. Large natural branches are perfect to reflect in the mirror. I don't like the lamp in the photograph, but you can see the scale. The lamp is too farmhouse. I hope this gives some direction! Third + Windsor Interior Design...See Morehelp with foyer decor
Comments (16)“I like simple elegant decor, not too busy.” To simplify the area, I’d: Remove wreath, and the decor on ledge. Put a small round table or pedestal here, possibly with a live plant on it to bring in a bit of organic interest: https://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Evans-Iron-Pedestal/30317611/product.html https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Carson-Carrington-Bangling-Round-2-tier-End-Table/29146693/product.html Remove table from other side of door. Bigger rug. Add art, hooks, whatever on wall above pedestal. Don’t call attention to glass block by trying to cover it up with furniture. The area is busy with that and the railing above, keep things simple. If the glass can’t be changed, ignore it. Nothing on ledge, but I’d put a larger piece of art above it. A beautifully patterned rug, with subtle colors, would provide warmth and texture to all the hard lines and surfaces. (Rugs from Rejuvenation and PB, just using as examples.) So ... very minimal furniture, nice rug with warm colors in it, and keep the eye up with art on walls instead of adding more stuff below....See MorePlease help me decorate our foyer.

3 years agoI plan to put some stuff on the walls above both sides...probably won’t keep this chair but would get something a little different. Just moving stuff around I already have to get an idea of what I want to do:)
I really appreciate y’all’s advice!

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI wanted to share another idea — using a round table with lamp, and chair on the stair side. I think it would look nice to follow the curves of the room. Just my opinion, but I wouldn’t furnish both walls unless you did substantial matching chests/consoles. Putting various furniture pieces up against the walls on both sides doesn’t make sense in a pass-thru of this style (as Ida said) ... it ends up looking like a hodgepodge, and isn’t cohesive.
I couldn’t find one exactly like your entry, but just general examples:
I’d do that (nothing on the other side), have a rug/runner of some sort to soften and ground the space, as well add color/texture, and add art.
