any other pictures? is that what you see when you come thru door?

mirror ok, maybe art, will you use or is it just for looks? ie drop zone, etc?

Mirrors should reflect something interesting or beautiful. You can't make the foyer look bigger with a mirror, but art can make it look more interesting and beautiful. The issue is that whatever hangs above the console should be 75% as wide as it is. That limits you to something about 32" wide. If there is an outlet, perhaps a lamp and a pretty grouping of art glass hung vertically to fit the 32" footprint would work better.

Are you married to that chest. It is more like a chest than a console. I'd go with something else.

I like a chest in a foyer because of it provides so much storage for winter stuff, extra keys, umbrellas, etc. I also think a mirror is always useful near the door.

As for the decor on top of the chest, I'd include a lamp or plant, but would hold off until your floor is in -- might make a difference to the colours and textures that look best.

IMO the chest is too small on that wall and be careful that a mirror actually reflects something worth seeing twice I would go with a piece of art and if you want the space to feel larger get a piece that is like looking outside As for decor on the top of the chest a lamp is always welcoming to me a vase with fresh flowers always works tray or box to hold keys and mail , an umbrella stand beside the chest with interesting umbrellas in it adds some fun if you live in a rainy climate. I like a stool or a bench to sit on to don boots so often choose a console table so the bench can slide underneath

Yep, if you are going with a chest - it should be larger.

I think you need to get the new floors and then decide. This chest may blend in too much. But it's a useful piece and you can probably relocate if it's not working there.

Thanks so much for suggestons! Really helpful!
