Decorating the front entry hallway
Comments (16)Thanks, all! The entry hallway measures about 9’ x 3.5’. I measured the kitchen table and it’s about 3.5’ x 3.5’ so I’d probably need at least 6’ wide in order for the chairs to have enough breathing room. Most of the rug sizes I’ve seen that come close to fitting in this space are either 5’ x 8’ rectangle or 5’ x 5’ or 6’ x 6’ square. What’s the rule about rugs when the room size is rectangular but the table is a square? Do you find a rug to match the room or table? I’m decorating on a (tight) budget and trying to get as much accomplished as possible before we host people at our house for my sons birthday party on October 28. Online shopping seems to be my go-to at this point since it’s difficult to get out of the house with a toddler and a newborn (who is cluster feeding right now lol). We do have a Target and a Home Depot nearby, and I can do ship-to-store at either for the rugs which would allow me to look at them before committing to taking them home. That’s why I’ve been looking at both of those places. Plus Target has a 30% off sale on all rugs that ends tonight! I know the geometric prints I’ve been looking at may not be the most original, but I really love it. If I did use this print somewhere, do you think it would be better for the entry way runner or under the kitchen table? Then I could find something complementary for the other. Could someone help me choose something that complements this print and my house color scheme? (Preferably at Target - or Home Depot) My house has lots of shades of blue - Pottery Barn porcelain blue silk dupioni curtains, peacock blue pillows, blue and white kitchen backsplash. It also has hints of light green. Our sofa is gray, walls are light tan/beige. I’m at a loss with the walls in the entry. I thought the distressed mirror with the sconces looked nice but I guess wall art might be a nicer option. Again, in the essence of time (and money), I don’t know if I’ll be able to find something in time for the party. Any specific suggestions? I like the idea of family portraits there but I want to inject some texture or interest in that space. If someone could link to specific suggestions of items, I would love you forever! I’m driving myself nuts! lol...See MoreHelp with decorating front foyer and hall
Comments (5)You have a really nice chest in a good location. I would leave it there, but remove the cloth from the top. The lamp looks nice. If you are using flowers there, real or fake, make the arrangement larger. The striped seat is too large for that area. I like family pics, but it does look less cluttered without them. Do you have another area for the gallery? I tend to gravitate towards black for frames, but you can have a mix. You can help to set the tone you want by your choice of mirror over the chest and artwork on the wall where the striped seat is now. A rug in the style you like would also be nice. Pretty paint choice!...See MoreNeed help decorating the wall in the hallway
Comments (9)you have a lovely home and love the chairs at the heads of the table in your dining room. you have a lovely piece of art in your living room, maybe use that as inspiration for another large piece of art in your hallway? below is a rug that has a neutral background with just a couple additional colors that could work with the two rooms....See MoreHallway wall decor dilemma
Comments (13)The hallway is not part of the kitchen or the living room, but when you open the apartment door, that is the first wall that you see. At the front of this wall is the laundry closet ( right now we are installing new doors to rhe closet) ....See Moredecoenthusiaste
