Need help with plant / decor advice for front entrance
Comments (8)Notice how Doug has removed the narrow planting beds near the door to create a generous entrance porch. I would also widen the walk out to the drive so the two people could walk abreast. Keep the plantings with only a few types of plants, including something bright (either foliage or flowers) flanking the entrance porch where it meets the walkway as Yardvaark’s suggested. That can be in pots or in the ground. You want large enough swaths of plants for most of the plantings so that so they will read well from the road as well as looking nice from the near view. Plantings should be low enough so that they don’t block the sight lines to the door and so folks on the sidewalk don’t feel like they have to try to avoid brushing up against encroaching plants....See MoreAdvice for exterior entry decor
Comments (3)I'm tempted to paint the door white for a larger entrance look. If you stand at your front door looking outside, what direction will you face? Two ceramic pots of same color one large, one medium. -placed to the right of the door Fill with bulky plastic bottles and chicken wire on top. Add seasonal decorations.. -wrap cage with faux fall leaf garland - lighted tree topiary.....upside down tomato cages wrap in Christmas lights for year round lighted tree topiaries. Disguise the plastic bottles with a gathered ruffle. Gather burlap or wide 12inch deco mesh (purple, gold, copper, red, pink? (Seasonal colors) , with a wire for a ruffle between the tree and the pot . Secure ruffle to tomato cage....See MoreHow to decorate when there is no entryway??
Comments (39)here's an idea just to add some oomph to what you have. I like the wainscot and darker wall, the rug, and a nice loom style pendant light would really make this look good tried to put it together to show you. textured sisal rug in a dark charcoal or black, the same light over the table, and switch out your planter for a larger/taller white one, like shown here Also, your two art pieces? too far apart. try moving them in a few inches I think a banquette set up for that corner w/the table would be ideal. it would give you extra seating, more room, and give you a design punch. something like this. w/a cool chandelier over the table. I see you have a floor vent. for that spot, you could do a floating bench, or a settee, or have the area open to allow air flow. or build it like this you could also do one single bench under the window, (notice the vent grate) and hav some tall cubbies on either side. replace that plain white mini blind w/a nice roman shade like this, or even a woven wood...See Moreentryway decor help please!
Comments (9)Looks like the table matches the handrail and your dining table, so it seems to work fine. I would like the table with just the vase and without the lantern, tho. Either just the vase or maybe a low tray or something if you need a place to drop keys. Maybe an entry rug or runner? No to a mirror at the top of the stairs. Yes to some art....See MoreRelated Professionals
