    Agree with Angel. In fact, I'd look into removing the moulding as well.

    I would remove the moulding and not put anything up there. It will just look dated.

    In agreement with the others....nothing up there. Noticed that you could use a nice entry lamp to soften the light there....is there an outlet near the table?

    Great idea to remove the molding, plus it looks like a large rug is needed

    at the front door.

    I would use a lighter wall color. Remove all or most of the molding, and add a nice rug which is the same shape as the entry (square or rectangle). Do you need a place for coats and such, or is there a closet?

    I would remove the art work and put up an attractive mirror so people can check themselves coming in or out.

    The mirror can be oval or round. I like a round mirror with a wood frame, or a starburst shape, and they come with gold or silver frames or wood frames.

    I would remove all candles from the top of that table. When people enter or leave with coats and purses and backpacks, it is way to easy to knock over a candle and that is dangerous!

    You can put an attractive small tray on the top of that tray to hold mail and keys, and on the bottom shelves of that rack, an attractive round or square tall basket with sides to hold things like slippers or scarves.

    I would remove family photographs from that table, any house guests will know who your family members are, any anyone making deliveries to your home should not be privy to that information.

    On the left side of the table (away from the door) you can put a small live green plant.

    What is opposite this table? Is that a coat closet? Is that a corridor next to it?

    What is that brown and white object at the bottom of the third picture? Where is that in relation to your entry?

    Here are some photos of round mirrors.

    If you purchase a mirror, it should be large enough so that its total width is 3/4 the width of the table, and the middle of it is 6 feet from the floor.

    Here are some round and starburst mirrors - I don't know what size they are.

    I like your art and it might be fun to pull some of that color up to the niche if you don’t want to close it up etc. Here are a couple ideas. Some interesting pieces or textures on the wall up there could be fun.

    Agree with everyone who said put nothing in the niche. Looks dated, hard to clean.

    I might consider some low long horizontal lamps

    I would repaint to a much lighter color in the foyer
