I am thinking of painting my entry wall (just the wall with the pictures) a dark grey-blue accent color, but I am stuck with what to do next. I like the idea of making it a gallery wall with assorted pictures and wall decor (hooks, mirror), but I don't know where to start with that. It would also be nice to somehow make it more functional with some very slim shoe storage, console table, or bench. The problem is that it is a small space, and really narrow, so I don't know if i could (or should) incorporate a furniture piece? Any creative suggestions on what to do to make my entry less plain and more functional would help. Thanks!
