Thank you! I have considered moving the fireplace to that wall and adding two small chairs for a seating area. I just wasn't sure what to do with the area that the fireplace in now. I appreciate your suggestions!

The area where the fireplace is now will essentially become a walkway from the front door to the great room. So, there should be nothing along the floor on that wall.

I would add art or a series of mirrors on that wall. Like above photo but no sofa under it. It looks like you are in a arid climate and don't need a place to hang coats, etc.

Is your house for sale?

If you really want a foyer, I suggest putting the back of a sofa facing the front of door. Place a console table against the back of the sofa with 2 table lamps.
Add two identical accent chairs facing your gallery wall and move the fire place to the wall opposite the sofa.
I would then put a writing table where the fireplace is and hang two floating bookshelves the same width as the writing table above.
I suggest flanking the desk with 2 identical chairs that could be used for additional seating in the dining room.
Also, change the gallery wall. Place a large piece of art on that wall. It can be offset with 2 smaller pieces on each side in the same color frame.
Finally, replace the table to the right of the front door with a storage bench coat hook combo piece or a tall (72 inches) bookcase.

Our house is not for sale

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure any advice I give is for you and not for staging. Although,so far I would stage it the same way.

You could have it more like a library, office, seating area. I think a bookcase with built in desk along the wall on the right as you come in door, seating area over by window. Big art, floor lamp. You just need to make sure you have enough room for walk through, so not huge furniture

I think "clpsamuel's" advice is brilliant but going to make a little change. Instead of the sofa's back to the front door, why not put it facing the front door so as to mimic a lobby in an office. Also, you can sit on it and not face the distraction of your desk and other work paraphernalia that is behind you while you're concentrating on a project or just taking a 5-minute break. A small-scale chair at both ends of the sofa and a small coffee table in the middle would create a great lobby and brain-storming area. Put the fireplace on the right side of the front door and make this space not only multifunctional but cozy and inviting as well. When we're in a professional looking home office, we tend to take our business even more seriously. And when it's attractive and efficient, the sky's the limit! I hope these suggestions help.
