Entry way

11 years ago

Please help. I have no idea what to hang on this wall. I was thinking a white circular mirror. Also, ideas on what should go below the mirror. Thanks

    I'm also up for changing out the runner, it's smaller than I really want it to be. So runner ideas would be appreciated too. Thank you.

    I'd remove the small rug next to the door, move the runner towards the door, and move the table a bit right with a black mirror above.

    Well, that's bold! I love the stripe. Although the look is bold, you kept it neutral so far. I would go with bold color to match the intensity and create a layered look. Choose either a large piece of art or a mirror that has bold border (red?) ...or a console table that is red?

    Here are some inspirational examples:

    ...on another hand, if you are not a fan of color, you can go with a white table and a frame-less rectangular mirror. Something like this:

    Here are consoles from CB2 and Crate & Barrel along with some mirrors that might work. IMO the lighting in the hallway needs to be made more complementary and residential. I would change the fixtures, but at the very least, the light bulbs are wrong.

    Consider painting the doors black and all the trim the tan color. The white doors and trim are detracting from the dynamic striped walls. The hall table needs to be larger in scale (taller and longer). A pair of tall lamps and a very large scaled mirror over the hall table could be a great look. Another option would be a large painting or framed poster. The area rug need to be wider.

    What about the console being something like this?

    Sorry the light this morning is really bad

    I hate the light right now

    I'm going to buy a mirror and maybe a lamp today. This is the only other furniture I have for the Entry way..is it too tall?

    i love your stripes, and great job restricting yourself to just doing one side.

  • 11 years ago
    Thank you. I'm just feeling overwhelmed because I don't know what to do next. From the rug to the wall to what to put on the console. Ugh.
  • 11 years ago
    Ok. Maybe I'll look for something like that today. That's awesome how you did that!
  • 11 years ago
    I would look for a narrow console table with a glass top, and skinny legs, preferably brass. A large round mirror to contrast all the linear elements. Two buffet style lamps (they are tall and skinny) with the base in a bright color, such as green, and a brass bowl or tray, no wider than the console, to hold a small houseplant or orchid. I'd keep it minimal, and let the stripes be the star.

    Ok..I'm heading out today to find new decor. I'll post the after pics later on. Thank you.
  • 11 years ago
    I would stay away from black or white pieces, as you ave a lot of that already, with the doors and walls. If you can paint the doors black, it do the trim black as well, and put high lumen bulbs in the lamps.

    The stripes are espresso, they look black in the pics
  • 11 years ago
    Not sure if that makes a difference
  • 11 years ago
    My color scheme is Browns blues and white/cream. What about red bases for the lamps?
  • 11 years ago
    I like the second console you posted a picture of, but I suspect it is too wide for the space. I agree that one longer runner starting at the door would be good. And I always agree with zings of red! Nice wall!

    Love that wall!! Not every home could pull that off! A skinnier table is probably more suitable for a hallway. I liked the post that suggested a glass table. Keep us posted on final reveal! It'll come together just fine!!
  • 11 years ago
    Ok. I'm going to get a new console but couldn't find one I liked today. What about this mirror and lamp? I'm going to hang the mirror if you guys think it will work.
  • 11 years ago
    Should I do a colored lamp post?
  • 11 years ago
    Maybe a red lamp post?
  • 11 years ago

    That would work! Just remember, a rule is to incorporate the accent color in 3 locations. So a lamp post, a throw pillow on the chair nearby, and a red accent in the new runner?

    Don't hang the mirror until you know what the console is. The oval mirror doesn't seem as dramatic design-wise as your hallway concept. Maybe is was a great buy............but this one is from Crate and Barrel

    This one would have been perfect but I can't find it anymore.

    This is what I did. Now I just need help on a big rug/runner. Color ideas.
  • 11 years ago
    I think you need to move the console so the edge of the mirror aligns with the edge of the console. Looks off as is.
  • 11 years ago
    don't get over whelmed you have such a gorgeous home! I love the mirror there. maybe a wider shelf? Ikea has amazing shoe storage shelves that double as a console table as well. love love your taste!
