You need to enhance the verticality of this space. To make it more functional, you can use a side table where you leave mail or just drop a bag as you walk-in and a key holder can go on top of it. I would purpose to keep it as simple and clean as possible, it is easy to give a crowded look in such a tight space when a decor or furniture is added. Add a sleek, tall end table that can accentuate this space but can also be functional.

I hope you find this tip useful. Thanks.

What is the height to the top of the light switch?

its 47 inches

You could hang a piece of art so the bottom was an inch or so above the light switch, add a narrow console table underneath and put a plant or something to over lap the art on the left that will let you access the light switch. Then add a slender lamp or maybe a lantern to the right if you don't need the light. What style of furnishings are in the rest of your home?

No table, no art; it will just look squished. The only thing that fits here is a plant or coat tree or tall skinny sculpture.

Antoinette, your dining room is lovely. I really like groveraxle's suggestion for a plant as well. Maybe a plant on a short stand would work. This is from Anthropologie and comes in 3 sizes.

Nice functional table, however, I'd find something else to put on the wall.

The table is pretty but I think the sign is a bit small for the wall. Perhaps another print that coordinates under it or something a bit longer?
