I don't think I'd put anything in the center. Who wants to walk around a table every time you pass through that foyer?

How about a curved console table or bench for the wall under the stairs?

Love the round bench! One thing i've wondered about curved furniture is how hard it is to fit the same curve of my staircase. Seems like a difficult thing to measure for before I would order? Or you think they are all pretty universal curves?

I'm sure there's no real "universal curve" where furniture is concerned. It's a good question, though. Might be wise to get the arc measurements of the wall's curve so that you can get a bench that is pretty close. I would think you would want them to flow pretty well together.

Don't remove the trim from the curtains! It is like having "earings" on your room and adds an extra detail/layer to the space. When I first had drapes made they suggested I add trim. I thought it was a waste of money, but once done I really liked it and it really adds to the whole look of the drapes. I add trim to all my drapes now.

I agree that the curved wall is the place that most wants furnishing. Maybe draw out the curve on soft plastic or even fabric so you can fold it to keep in your bag or car, and then when you happen upon a likely piece you can compare it to the diagram to see how well it might nestle up to the wall.

A settee would be nice there as well.

Your foyer is the absolute perfect place to put a lovely polished wood round table, and I wouldn't do anything else with it. You can feature a gorgeous vase of flowers on it, or a bust, or an iron sculpture, a lovely piece of art glass, even books. So many people try the round foyer table look and it falls short because the space is not just right. Your's is!

If the table is sized correctly you will not be walking around it to traverse the space, and it is a timeless look.

Put a round table closer to the rounded wall, a vase of color, a small lamp, and a basket to collect visitor bringings. What a beautiful foyer!

What a gorgeous foyer! I don't think you have enough room to have the table in the middle, without it being too undersized for the height/volume of the foyer, or too big to fit the floor space. With a table in the center, the curved wall would look as if it needed something, but it would be too much to have decor there AND in the center. I love Tibbrix's idea of a curved settee, with a small curved table in front of it, or I would simply put your table back toward the curve and ignore it being centered on the chandelier. I don't think the curves of a settee would have to match the arc, just be a curvy piece.

Just as a "heads up" on a table..my sister found THE PERFECT little table for her entry. It nestled in just right, it was very attractive...she removed it. Her family decided it was a flat surface so pile it high!! It drove her crazy trying to keep it cleaned off. It is now gone. Her entry is sadder for it, but I totally understand her reasons!!! I vote for a seating piece.

Perfect place for the beautiful biedermeier round table my cabinet maker guy made.

This is what we did with ours. i played around with centering it under the light or in center of foyer, but it was very awkward.

I don't think I'd put a round table in the curve of the stairwell, though, because it would look awkward because of the chandelier. If you go with a round table, I think it really has to be under the candy, and sized proportionally.

I would put the round table there, but not centered under the light... I think that would be awkward and your foyer doesn't really look large enough for it. I also think the curved staircase would be highlighted with a nice table near it's curve.

I don't think I would put a bench... when I had a curved staircase similar to yours I wanted something high there. I originally put a table there, but didn't want anything decorative like a vase on the table top because of our dogs and cat and I didn't want to hang a lot of small things and the curved wall wouldn't allow for any larger pictures...

I ended up putting a large/tall tree there.

I would love to have your entry hall! And I agree with KSWL, it is the perfect spot for a simple round wood table and vase. It will look simply elegant.

Thanks all for the great suggestions! Turns out I forgot to attach my inspiration image. We are moving towards a more contemporary design, so some of the traditional style settees won't work. I am going to keep my eyes open for a round table to put deeper in the pocket of the curve or maybe a curved bench. We don't have many in-person furniture shops here, so likely situation is any furniture will be purchased online. I'll keep you updated.

Here is inspiration image. (Again, I know our "bones" aren't this contemporary, but this is what we are moving toward...)

Pretty entry, CF! I am no help on the table...

What paint color did you choose? It looks really good!

And I like the doggy photo bomb :)

Thanks, Butternut! I'm still not quite decided on paint color, but luckily it is going to cost a fortune, so I have to wait anyway, lol.

The one swatched on the curve in the photo is actually the Eaglet Beige I was telling you about. It looks gorgeous in one of the bedrooms but the entry gets a ton of light, and even with 3 coats, it is giving off a grey-ish tinge. What do you think of the one swatched? I think I may be back to the drawing board on paint colors for this space. Or I might repaint the trim since this area has a good stopping point.

Thanks for the input on the curtain trim! I am at a loss for what to do with the curtains. They are a gorgeous custom job in a heavy embroidered silk with tassled trim. Unfortunately the tassles just will not go with the cleaner look we are trying to do. I am considering replacing the curtains altogether because I really don't want to design the rest of my decor around the curtains...but I know how expensive they will be to replace with something as nice of quality. The plan is to leave the curtains for now and possibly replace after I choose everything else. They are neutral enough for now that they may work.

So it doesn't look awkward not having the table under the light? I would think since you ahve the chairs anchoring against the wall, it works.. I might mimic your setup!

Oh, I liked the one in the photo. It doesn't look gray to me! (At least on this screen, but maybe it does in person). I will have to pick up a sample of the Eaglet Beige.

It looks a lot better than the tan color there, at least!

No it doesn't look awkward at all. Even without the chairs it was fine except I felt like it needed more than just the small table. If I could have found a bigger table that I liked I may have skipped the chairs
