4th attempt at entry way table! Does this one work!?

10 years ago

I have literally bought 3 tables for the entry way that ended up looking terrible in the space and are now living in my basement. A friend of ours was moving and gave this table to us. I know that the color doesn't match, but that's step 2. Step 1 is determining if this table works. Thoughts?

If no, please feel free to send me alternatives as I am out of ideas!!

If yes, should I refinish it to match the stairs, paint it white or something else entirely?

Thanks!

    You need a sofa or a half table, so your table is flat against the wall. Love the mirror.

    It's hard to say for sure....right now it looks just a tad large for the space. Any way that we can see a pic with the table pulled out a bit like shown in this pic below (but maybe more centered to the space than how this table is positioned in the pic)?

    Got this from your ideabook.... ;-)

    Wow, that bar is awesome! Here are a few other angles so you can see the dimensions of the room better. The last two (please excuse the nosy cat) have it pulled out as far as it can go without blocking any entryways.

    No, that table does not work. The legs on it are not right for your space. I'd do something with legs similar to the 2 pictures below.

    I think it looks too large. We have a similar entry area!

    I don't 100% love what we have but this is it.

    If I didn't have the chair there I would get a modern, simple, rectangular table to go against the wall the picture is on with a plant on the right side.

    A slim console table of 12" depth or so that spans the length of that wall might look nice.

    I actually think the size it right but the legs are not. The floral centerplace should be centered in whatever table you do get. Also just a side note, your gallary is really nice but seems the pics are spaced too far apart. If you bring them all in towards each other it might look even better

    I agree. It really doesn't work. Part of the problem is that you are trying to center the mirror over the space and there really isn't enough vertical space to do that. So when you find a smaller, rectangular table or chest, you will need to find something smaller to put over it. I do think you could find a chest (like a Bombay chest or even something with drawers in it) you will like it a lot better.

    Some of these people don't know anything !! The table is perfect get rid of the mirror all together .. center your floral piece and find a nice piece of art with colors to tie in your floral piece on the wall going up the stairs ! It's a simple fix

    Sometimes less is more and the mirror and the floral piece are both fighting for attention

    I'd put a longer narrow table under the other wall art and a small chair here by the stairs.

    I agree mirror doesnt work, esp with round table. A small piece of art hung vertically would be better or square

    Thanks everyone! Back to the drawing board! rawketgrl - where is that pedestal table from?

    I would put a shelf on the wall. 12-14". Maybe in a stone with contemporary supports. Then a small bench underneath with a patterned top.

    Hello

    I know how frustrating it can be.

    This piece from what I can see is not ideal - style and color.

    If you want to try it then pull it out away from wall if your foyer is large enough. If not then I would get a sofa table or a hall table. Flat against the wall. Best of luck.

    If you need anything else let me know.

    I think what you already have can work - I would put the flowers in a funky black vase, as it seems they are floating right now. It needs to be grounded. That is my thought. Have fun.
