Yes, it would totally make sense to remove the sconce but I’m not ready to give up on it just yet since we just bought it! I didn’t realize it would be problematic since there’s been a sconce there since we moved in, but this shape is not easy to work with. I agree a bell shape would definitely make it easier to put something underneath! I should have mentioned that we are in the process of painting the yellow interior to gray and white, and are going for a rustic-glam look. This wall will be dark gray. We will eventually change the bannister too.

This hallway is wide enough to furnish with a stand alone hutch. Additionally any artwork would help also.

It’s a long hall and I would attempt to pull it all together vs just adding something in one spot. By front door you could add a mirror, then use a runner where hall straightens out and a console, art and lamp on wall #1. It will have a nice flow and be welcoming.

IMO remove the mirror and replace with a piece of art. Mirrors work best where they reflect something worth seeing twice and the side of a fridge is not it . Can we see the space from further back ? Is this a family entry or for guests ? BTW I will not go shopping for you that is your job.This looks to be a bit country the chandelier not so much so I really need to see more of your home.
