What should I put on the walls or in the empty space by the door?
Comments (15)I didn't mean to insult you, it's just that it's easier to make suggestions understanding how the space is used. Knowing that you don't use the space at all, I wouldn't at all recommend a console or table -- there's just no point. And I asked about using the bench because I was going to suggest a galvanized boot/shoe tray, etc. But again, I wouldn't suggest that because there's no point spending the money or cluttering up the space if it's not necessary. I also think decorating or styling is more realistic for the space if it's not overdone. On the wall by the light switch, knowing more about the space, I'd suggest a mirror as well as a hall tree for coats, which could come in handy for overflow outerwear when you entertain, rather than tossing coats on a bed, etc. But a hall tree would probably mean moving the "home" sign. Otherwise, I think a mirror by the light switch and a smaller rug would help considerably....See MoreMiddle entry door/open floorplan living rm, but I want closet+entryway
Comments (6)@Gcubed Living room serves as a large comfy space when we have lots of friends over. I was also thinking of splitting the space so that 1/3 of the space is a conference table. We have a dining room in the back connected to the kitchen. There's two side doors, one that opens into the kitchen and the other is near the staircase. None of those have a closet/mudroom functions. The basement has an entrance and I was going to make that the mudroom entrance because of the dogs. My husband likes to enter from the sides. I like to enter through the front door and hang up things. It would also be the entrance for guests so that's why I wanted a coat closet. @Lidia - Something like this?...See MoreWhere should I add an entryway table and decor?
Comments (6)It’s a long hall and I would attempt to pull it all together vs just adding something in one spot. By front door you could add a mirror, then use a runner where hall straightens out and a console, art and lamp on wall #1. It will have a nice flow and be welcoming....See MoreShould I add barn doors?
Comments (24)I was just going to write pretty much what Jinx just wrote! I think that your space is absolutely lovely exactly as it is, artwork and all, and I would not change a thing when it comes to showing it to prospective buyers. It will indeed show beautifully. It has a subtle personality that shines through, and is a welcome relief from the "same old same old."...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
