Would love ideas on entry decor (pic)
Comments (23)Okay, I'm back! First, let me thank you so much for all the ideas. You have no idea how much I appreciate them. I also would like to thank you for your patience if I'm a little slow catching on. I went out to Kirklands Home today to buy a couple things for the living room (another disaster area) and I met up with a teacher friend of mine. She's got the Summer off and her and her best friend said they love to decorate and we are planning to get together in a couple weeks. I'm so excited!! Anyway, I bought the coat rack and put it where the chair was and cleared out a few things. Maybe you can give me yet some more ideas on where to go with this? Thanks so much! Here's the stuff I cleared, can I reuse any of them? Please excuse the nosey cat....See MoreDecorating 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 MoreEntryway table/wall decoration with single sconce
Comments (15)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....See MoreDecorating around an ugly rental sconce
Comments (8)I wouldn't hesitate to hang something in front of it, as long as I took the lamp out first. The shade will protect the socket from contact. I'd use some kind of blocking (I'm thinking styrofoam cubes or something similar) so that the artwork sits proud of the wall, rather than resting directly on the sconce, which would be wobbly. It looks like maybe you have a picture rail molding and could hang artwork using a molding hook. If you need more light, use a table or floor lamp....See Moreffpalms
