You do not have the space to store shoes for SIX people at your entryway. Why must you store their shoes there? That's unnecessary. They should select their "shoes du jour" from their closet and put them on at the entry. If they are in the house for the night, then they can take their shoes back to their rooms. Capt. Obvious says, "Children's shoes get bigger as their feet grow. If you store shoes at your entrance, then you will run out of storage space." You've trained the family to remove their shoes. Next step: Train them to return their shoes back to their own closets.

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.

I have this massive chandelier ceiling fan thing going on in my entryway and I'm desperately in need of a replacement, I would like a ceiling fan with lighting,, but can't seem to find anything of decent size and lighting to illuminate the area however this thing is extremely outdated. It was installed when the house was built in 1997. I considered taking it down and painting all the gold Parts black and replacing the fan blades but this thing has many tiers to it it's just too difficult

I would think about function first: - This space seems well lit and that a lamp is not needed. - It sounds like your shoes and coat live elsewhere. - You mentioned wanting a place to put keys. When you walk in the glass doors, will you and your partner walk back towards the garage to place your keys down and then head upstairs? It does not sound to me like a natural flow of things. Is there somewhere at the top of your stairs that keys can be placed? I might also not want keys sitting in front of a glass door. (Maybe the areas I've lived in are more dangerous than yours though.) This hallways seems much too narrow to easily accomodate a console table and have reasonable flow. If you are really after a sense of warm, welcoming decor, I would focus simply on how to achieve that: * Place a nice floor plant in the area where the shoes are in the pic above. Find a decorative planter with a mid century vibe. * If you want key space hang a nice key ring hook near the plant just to the left of the front door where the hinges are. Again get an MCM style piece. * Hang a vertical picture on the long wall towards the front door across from the railings. I would get a very large framed pic - something that is large poster size and takes up 3/4 the height of the wall. Find something with a mid-century style and colors you love. Something this size in the pic below would visually take up the space and eliminate the need for a console table. (In fact, I think this pic would look better with just the poster on that wall and no bench.) The pic below has a nice light above the artwork. If wiring is not too hard you could do that too.
