How wide is your wall and how deep can you go? Yes, I agree you can have a bigger console to fit on that wall. What do you think of these options for the wall? Good luck!

I’m feeling like I should have checked in with HOUZZers before ordering anything! You’re all sending me great thoughts…lesson learned. Since my move here, I’ve wanted a rug. But I love my floors (then why do I want to cover them?) …I wanted to add color. We’ve removed the old-world looking swivel chairs from the wine closet and put up our wine barrel (came from our home in fingerlakes wine region). I do feel that the entry is dark after the sun goes over the house and I wanted a welcoming feel in the foyer…thinking rug, table, lamp. A mirror would not reflect the gate because it would be in the same wall. The table I ordered is going to really fill that space and perhaps the scale won’t be right. The rug? I probably didn’t make the best choice on either. The rug should arrive this week so I’ll post pictures upon arrival. Table is going to take 16-20 weeks, perhaps I have time to reconsider or look for another spot for it. Please keep the ideas coming! I really appreciate all the suggestions.

Place a console table so you see it straight ahead as you enter - add a colorful piece of artwork above and a lamp on top. Pick colors from the artwork for a larger rug in the space. If you feel the need to check yourself before heading out the door, hang a large, round mirror on the other wall. Consider a new light fixture that hangs down from the ceiling a bit, with a coordinating one in the other part of the hallway. If you post some images of your other furnishings/artwork/textiles, we can offer more specific ideas...

@Maddy Jens congrats on the house it looks beautiful! I grew up in a 1929 bungalow with no formal entry. Your new space looks like there may be room for an entry to the right as you walk in. A bench (with storage) below the window and a thin profile console table with mirror on the wall to the right of the opening to the dining room? The fireplace seems to be the focal point of the room. Keep a couch with or without chaise add-on on the wall and perhaps round coffee table with two chairs facing the couch? If you need desk space that could go where the rocker is now, against the wall perpendicular to the fireplace wall. Beautiful house! Enjoy making it your own :)
