Entryway Decor Dilemma

10 years ago
Would really appreciate some thoughts. What else would you do with this space? I feel like it's missing something but can't out my finger on what. This is what people will see upon entering my house through the front door. Thanks in advance!

    ROFL,!!!!

    I actually think the arrangement fills the space quite well.

    You need a clock. And other things.

    Round table or Triangle table to fit in the corner. Place for keys, etc. Lamp on top.

    Mirror somewhere so you can check your teeth for broccoli or spinach before heading out the door.

    Yes, I have a 1.5 year old daughter who obviously gets into everything. The mirror has now come down since I put the vase there. Think I can leave it? Thanks so much!

    For me: a warm welcome foyer for guests

    I think you actually need a taller vase and perhaps black bamboo canes to get a more bold look. TIP: to help prevent little ones from causing issues, you can put a bunch of stones in bottom to help give the vase "weight". I don't think mirror would work there. Perhaps on another wall. Need more pictures of walls and space to see what options there are.

    Notice the black vase with silver painted large bamboo canes. Instead of these colors you could do black vase, loaded with large bamboo canes, or tall bamboo sticks, loading the vase with cheap stones on bottom and topping off with a nice layer of smooth black stones. The bamboo goes into the vase first, then the stones. I think this look would be a bigger statement for your entry. I looked at your pictures and I don't see a place for that round mirror. The light switch plate is located in the worst possible place! Pet Peeve of mine! But you might be able to put a vertical line of small prints with black frames and little black on white prints of some kind. They could line up between the front wall and the light switch. Then on the stairs, some additional artwork repeating the black frames and perhaps pictures of things that interest you, stairstepped up the wall. See if this has any appeal to you.

    I would put a chair their and apropriately sized framed art or mirror on the wall above. That way you won't worry about your child pulling a table or vase down. Other option is small table for keys etc with art or mirror above. Floor vases arent a good option IMO

    A floor vase with floral branches is just too fake. Perhaps just a series of prints on the wall instead and keep your floor area spare. The foyer needs contrast and texture.

    Placing a table in the corner with simple decor such as a floral arrangement or even a photo wall gallery would complete this entryway. We suggest a corner table such as this one:

    With a toddler, leave the floor space bare, then decorate the walls with prints. Once they are older, you can add a table for keys, displaying photos, etc.

    I ended up doing this (last pic) and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Debating what type of chandalier to put up to help tie it all together. Thoughts on this one from Pottery Barn? TIA!

    P.s. My 1.5 year old daughter has been stearing clear of the vase (so far!!!)

    I love that wall color with the white trim -- very warm, inviting, restful. Given the size of the wall and distance to the trim, I suggest a tall vertical piece on each wall, hung at either the same height each, or one slightly higher than the other. I am appending A Moment in Time and Just the Two of us from my collection, available as originals through my website -- http://bit.ly/19xFdwq -- or as prints at Great Big Canvas -- http://bit.ly/29gUSUo
