My delimma starts again!!

10 years ago
Lets start with my entry/ foyer area.

My style is totally contemporary/ glam kinds..

I cant decide what table should i go with,image 1 is the entrance of the house. And thats about the foyer area, and on the image 2 is my dinning room , and image 3 is the furniture for dinning room.

My confusion here is, since my formal dinning area on the right is white , golds and black, ahead of foyer area my theme for living room is more whites with orange accents.

So what color scheme should i be doing in foyer.

Ideas with pics and reference of websites will be a great great help.

P.S lets finish foyer as room 1 today, and i may need help with all other rooms as well.

Thank you thank you.

    Any suggestions houzziesss?
  • 10 years ago

    You can certainly make the entrance neutral so it will go with both rooms.

  • 10 years ago

    I like what Susan did. Do you have a rug for the foyer?

  • 10 years ago

    I do have a question, why are you putting orange accents in the LR? Even if the DR and LR are not open to each other. They are not closed off by doors right?

  • 10 years ago

    Keep foyer neutral, except for one orange vase, On table in entry. Consider dimmers on chandelier and beautiful lamp on table. Or instead of orange vase, orange shade on lamp

    Hi Saddie....see image below this would be fabulous in your foyer!
    If you want to add color cover a ottoman in a bright velvet in teal or or yellow it would look wonderful in your space...keep the glam going!

    What is the width of the foyer wall?
  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    I am guessing that the foyer wall is 3' max. You will be lucky to find a table small enough, I actually used a end table chest that was taller.

  • 10 years ago
    Susan 2494.. ..yes LR And DR are separate , and the foyer wall os 3.5' .

    I really really want the"wow" loud glam factor to my entrance.

    Not sure if i want the neutral yet.

    Zzmom, yes the idea sounds good to me, but do you think placing an ottoman there will make my LR entry a little crowded?

    I was thinking to keep a small little ottoman on the left side of the entrance below the window.

    (P.s..i will take better pics tomorrow for y'all)

    But on this foyer wall i want to keep a delicate table with minimum decor on it?

    So, again what color, should i go with, LR is whites, orange and greys and DR is white, golds and black.

    Thank you....:)

    And, no, no rugs or table or chandelier have not been purchased yet.
  • 10 years ago
    Really really love this, what u all think about this?

    Btw it is out of stock for now, but if y"all think that this is worth the wait until feb, i don't mind waiting.

    And if this table looks good, what rug, decor should i put up?

    Just some ideas.....console table is from Mitchell Gold. mirror from Zincdoor, rug from Jonathan Adler (but there are several other black/white rug options out there).

    You can then accessorize with gold, black and even some orange objects/accessories to tie in the colors of the adjacent spaces.

  • 10 years ago

    Oops, Sayed....I think we were cross posting.

    That console you just posted definitely offers the wow factor. If it fits well on that wall and in that space.....then why not? You should get something that you like! :-)

    Some mirror ideas for your gold console.

    Avery...loved the concept of going black and white with rug and wall mirror...i think that will be the highlight there.

    I Am being so impatient, closing on 30th dec, so i feel i should at least have the entryway ready to go..lol

    That golden round table is out of stock on every websites i have looked at, not available until late feb, i also found this, what do u think about this?

    Is this what you mean when you say "the 'wow' loud glam factor"?

    5 Houzz photos below.....thoughts?

    If so, I think the first gold console you posted would probably work better for something with more "wow" and glam.

    I hope you are checking the measurements on the consoles. It will have to be 36". It looks like that wall rounds a bit. Is it flat or rounded?

  • 10 years ago
    Avery...yup...u nailed the 1st 3 images...thats what i want.

    Susan, yes its a little round wall on the edge, so when we measured, and if i put that console a little away from the wall, it should fit. Do you think thats a bad idea? would it look awkward? Omg...me in fuss again!!! :(

    Susan helppppp...u guys know my frustration by now..lol
  • 10 years ago
    It should fit only into the flat wall area..unless you lean a floor mirror as I suggested behind a table...to give it a really glam look.
  • 10 years ago

    Save yourself a lot of grief and get a console that fits pretty much flat against the wall. If you start jockeying it around to fit the curve, you are just asking for problems. Look for a table that is the size of the flat part of the wall. And check for size on every piece you look at. And most of the photos that you get on here, have probably not checked for size, just looks. If you are going to spend $500 on a piece it should fit perfectly. Just saying.

  • 10 years ago

    IMO, that space is too small for a floor mirror and a console.

  • 10 years ago

    This chest is gold and wood, 33" wide and 34" high very good size. Mirrored front.

  • 10 years ago

    This will fit, Gold with mirror top

  • 10 years ago

    This is only 30" but is cream

  • 10 years ago
    The table is 36" wide. The mirror would fit over it....found this floor mirror it has the proper width if it is something you are interested in. The space will be tricky make sure you have all your measurements correct.

    Hi Sayed, just another idea in consideration of the available wall space.....maybe a bench vignette?



  • 10 years ago

    Similar to this?

    Then you can still add an accent pillow or 2?

    Or perhaps you'd consider something like an acrylic or lucite table like this? Then place 1 ottoman or small stool below.....

    Mirror and table are from Horchow, ottoman from zincdoor.com.

    The Mitchell Gold console I posted previously could also still be a good option? It works size-wise and is offered in other colors and finishes (see below).

    Here are some examples of it set up in various vignettes also.

    And fwiw, here are some other options (based on the available wall space). The last 3 in particular are quite a bit more pricier than the gold console you posted originally...but thought it was worth posting anyway just in case you'd consider them. (Or, maybe it'll help validate the gold console as a good choice for you too. :-)))

    Susan , i absolutely agree with your point. Thanks for bringing across those, i wouldn't have thought about the techno way of it..Yes the half round gold table is what i like among all of those u posted.

    Zzmom..yes and yess that black and gold i had an eye on it, but only until i saw the price..lol...$990 v for a foyer table, i wouldn't spend that much on it...but absolutely love that piece.

    Avery, u have really dig into my console...thank u, i loved the white table u posted, can u share the link where its available.

    Loved and amazed by all you gorgeous ladies ideas....thank you...i feel so relaxed now...

    At Least now i know where I am headed

    Avaery, again, plz share the link of that white console table.
  • 10 years ago
    Avery , oh i found it its Mitchell gold...oh no babe...thats $900 + way too expensive for just the table. Iam trying to knock off the entire foyer pieces within $1000-1200 max, including chandelier, rug, mirror n table...

    But i loved that table...
  • 10 years ago

    Here are 2 tables from o.com (under $200) that would fit and are in white. I really like the 1st one has beautiful curves to it and with the right mirror would be lovely

    I think @susan2494 is on the right track - I like the idea of a half-round table. Something about the angle of the wall/walkway - a half round seems to flow better with the space. And white or black would be a good "neutral" to tie in the other spaces - then provide pops of color with accents.

    Here is a black half-round boutique table with mirrored top that may be an option at 31" wide.


    Regarding lighting - do you plan on keeping the fixture in the adjoining rooms? Not that you need matchy-matchy (it's highly over-rated lol :) But should share similar elements (ie. finish) Also, what is the ceiling height int he foyer?



  • 10 years ago
    All mirror chest 30" wide....yes it is from Walmart what a deal!
