Yes! Because of the large grouping on the shelf and wall, it does make that area feel incomplete. I would use a narrow accent table- just make sure to leave as close to 3ft of uninterrupted walking space as possible. If this is your main entry-way, it may not be a bad idea to think about creating a "drop" zone in leu of a table. Like a sturdy row of wall hooks and a place to put shoes - if it works with your aesthetics.

nevermind, lol. You have a coat closet! haha Definitely do a narrow table though!

A curved table similar to this would fit nicely in your space. No edges to bump into.

That too-high shelf will always be clumsy. Anything you do will be an effort to hide a goitre with makeup. Just be done with the shelf and do the table.

Good point jpp221. The items on the shelve can be put on the table if you are set on them. and the wall art brought down. although, since it is a seemingly small space, what about a mirror over the table to open it up?

Take the shelf away get a narrow table and lower that wall art to the proper height

When you add any item to your home, always ask yourself, "What is the purpose of this item?"

Unless there is a purpose to the table, I would not add one. It will cause people to divert their path and walk around the table.

Instead, I recommend a simple tall mirror or tall piece of art. If you lower the plate art and add a second grouping of the plate art, that is all you need.

Less is more.

Since the front door opening is flush with the wall and so close to that area, I would suggest skipping a shelf or table and moving down the sculptural piece of art.

I would remove what you have. In its place, I’d add a bench (decorative pillows optional) and a mirror above it. Alternatively, I’d turn it into a photo wall with large pics in the same style frames. If you do a photo wall, keep it simple.
