Wow that's really nice. I would suggest repainting the wall and adding a shallow end table under the window to give the space some depth.

I agree, freshen up the window wall with some paint and add a shallow console table to display some treasures. Where does the sliding door lead? Could you remove it to open up the space even more? Also consider adding some lighting in the recessed ceiling.

I just launched a design and lifestyle blog: lifewithstyle.co Would love for you to follow along as we spruce up our spaces together.

A few photos might help you with your entrance dilemma. These are from our designs for clients.

Thanks all for the advice ...the sliding door goes to my home office n family room@Amy border

I recommend on going with a curtain for the window and a rug for the area between the two doors, it would make warm and inviting,

Thanks,
