what to do to “define” entry way?
Hello!
We have an open floor plan home. The entrance opens up into the dining room/walkway into the home. I am trying to figure out if there is something I could do to better define the entry way as a slightly separate space and really define it as the entry. I attached photos of different views of the entryway.

2 years agoOh my goodness, what a cute puppy! I think it looks fine as is. I have a similar lay out and I have a very short wall there. Maybe something like that would work? Don’t mind my mess haha

Comments (66)Yes, I did read the same thing after your last post. So that particular mirror may be slightly off in width if my math is correct. Good thing about the quatrefoil mirrors, if that is what you chose, you can most likely find another that is wider. I would take some newspaper or something else and cut out a paper version of the mirror in those same measurments. Tape it up with some painter's tape in the space to help you visualize....See MoreWhat would you do in this entry way?
Comments (25)Your home looks lovely and those floors are incredible. You must be in the northeast. The trick with this space is the scaling of the furniture. That's why I love telephone tables. Here is one I found on craigslist with perfect dimensions 29"wide x 19"deep x 32"high. These are great little pieces and enormously practical. With that being 19"deep, you have 45" side to side to work in the console. Go for something 10" deep and as long as you feel is the right length. Console bases can be made from anything and tops in wood/glass/stone. In your space, consider a mirror as large as possible to open it up. Carefully curating everything is the key for a well designed small space. I posted this pic to show you that even with many items in an entrance, it works and still looks open. I personally like classic contemporary, but layering interesting items looks welcoming and exciting....See MoreNeed help with a small entry way. Need help with small entry way
Comments (7)I don't mind the table and mirror and can't really think of anything besides art that would fit on that wall. Can't see the table details well but could it be painted? How about red to match your lovely door? What would say "fresh and cozy" to you for that space? Have you thought of a new light fixture? A runner and a larger rug in the entrance could look good. I don't find the clock visible from the door to be welcoming so I'd be tempted to remove it....See MoreWhat should we do to finish this concrete entry way
Comments (0)We have a contemporary house, the entry and steps and the patio/deck are concrete. We would like it to match the house style, but the finish is terrible, uneven and not square/plumbed. (See phots). What would be the best way to re-finish it? (We are in Northern California, so no freeze problems.) Thanks in advance for all suggestions. Mimi...See More

Some kind of on one or both sides.

2 years agoYou could easily just add a runner and a plant. However if you want a more defined entryway, they sell mudroom "hall trees" that you could look into getting and defining the space between the entryway and dining room that way. You could also look into getting some sort of divider, like you see in our second image.
