I think I'd prefer a solid credenza with your dark door. The table seems skimpy/flimsy looking in comparison with the stained door. I don't like the rug to be under it. Is the rug centered in the space? A good "rule" is to let the foyer introduce you, your style and hint at what to expect in the adjoining spaces. It should coordinate with the other furniture you have in the living space.

Here's a picture with the door open. I can't go much narrower with the table or else I won't be able to fit anything on top of the table. What kind of credenza do you mean? And I'm keeping the rug, because I just bought it for this space. ;)

Like your table choice ... because of the vent, a solid credenza will not work here. Rather than trying to center your table, move it against the right wall and see if that puts it beyond your open door.

Another option might be to build a box wall shelf (with or without hanging hooks) that fits between the open door and that right wall instead of a table -- perhaps with a bench (perhaps with shoe storage) the same depth and length and wood finish (or both painted the same color, perhaps the wall color) placed below it. One caveat: you might be better off foregoing the hanging hooks and shoe storage because ... clutter.

The vent actually isn't even functional anymore, which we found out during the inspection! So it wouldn't affect it to put a solid piece there. Great idea with the wall shelf, but we are going for something slightly more formal here as it opens into a formal living room.

I like the look of it but I would move it to the right too.

Jennifer K, we have one almost identical to the first one in our hallway! We found it to be too small for this space. Thank you for your input! We will consider a demilune table.

I like the table (though I agree move it right and not centered). I also like the rug, but I’m not really liking how the table sits on the rug. The rug seems too big. What is to the right when you walk in?

Move the rug over, so it is in front of the console. It doesn't have to be centered between walls. It can be centered between the console and the wall.

Not loving that console in your space either.

Console should not be blocking the door from swinging all the way open.

The table looks way too big. Why not try something smaller?

I'm with chispa. The entry door should function over a pretty, but too long, table that also doesn't look great with your current door. If live with people, you really want to make sure that the door swing is clear.

My entry is quite small and my last iteration used a table that was able to scoot away from the door swing while not so close to the other openings to impede passage. Ignore my traditional/hand-me-down vibe! The proportions look similar to yours. The table is 17" deep and 36" long. I can't remember the dimensions of the entry but its close to 5x7. We're rebuilding and I might try leaving it clear since we don't have a storm door anymore and the new entry door won't remain open.

This shows the sentry area with a shorter and slightly narrower cabinet that traded with the table for spots in the house. Door not all the way against the wall, here and 12" tiles.

IMO the foyer could benefit from a table selection with more contrast to balance the finishes of the entry.

I may be the only one but I don’t think there is enough space in thus area for a table. A very narrow wood bench could would a provide a spot to set articles down temporarily. You could hang mirror above and keep the rug and run it under the bench. I will be back with some inspirational ideas.

Here are some ideas.

You might be able to fit a small seat like this.

What is the maximum depth for a table or bench? My vote would be for a demi-line in a dark finish. Your door is beautiful, pattern in the side lights, something similar to Flo’s suggestion would work well. You don’t need a lot on the table, a flat bowl is enough. If an entry lamp is needed, I’m sure there are ‘skinny ones’.

Beverly I love that geometric pattern entry table and the round mirror and sconces! Do you have a link of where to purchase those by chance?

While I do like the table, it looks a bit crowded when you open the door. What is the depth of that console?

This is a table we have at the end of our hallway. I think it’s what some of you are describing, but it looks to skimpy here to me...

This is a table we have at the end of our hallway. I think it’s what some of you are describing, but it looks too skimpy here to me. I think it looks better than the larger console table, though it’s not exactly what we were going for here.

Would it look strange if you used the table you like (the larger original one) and moved it further away from the door so it's not centered on the wall?

Actually, if you put a large oval mirror or large artwork above that table, it will work fine. It's definitely a better depth than the rectangular one. And it's about a third of the width of the wall which is definitely reasonable. Once the tableau gets a bit of visual height, I think you'll find that it's just the right size.

It doesn't look like you can center anything on the wall due to the door swing. As Jennifer K points out, once you have decorated above, a smaller scaled table will look more proportionate. If you don't care for that one you already own there, keep looking.

The demi-lune one you have is proper size for your spot. If you want gold you can get Modern masters metallic paint and paint it a champagne gold. Your door looks Mediterranean in style and your rug is traditional so painting the traditional table you have a metallic would bridge between the two styles. Then a round transitional mirror with nice scale accessories on the table would finish the look.

The little demilune table you've moved into the entry is perfect. It won't look wimpy once you style it.

Use the table you have it looks perfect!

Found an alternative entry table. Did this little mock up for you.

Items in mock up.

A couple inspirational photos.

I like the new table and agree the style and depth work and once you have a mirror and/or art on the walls and something on top it will fill in better.

I think the table at the beginning of the post was fighting with the style of the door and my eye kept going back and forth from the table to sidelight.

I just wanted to add if it interferes with the door just move it down some. I have a buffet in my foyer and my wall length looks similar to yours. I moved the buffet down about a foot and have a large mirror over it. I'm one of those symmetry weirdos and it doesn't bother me at all.

Some choices for you:

With or

you can opt out for a bench in lieu of a table

The arched mirror with this

or with this

If anyone is still following, do you think this piece would work?!

In my entry, I alternated between a cabinet like you posted and a leggy table. I think I followed the seasons because fall/winter would find the heavier cabinet in there and spring/fall would have the lighter. Whatever you do, pick something that can move around your house :)

To be honest, I didn't use the storage for entry items. It was right by my dining room and the cabinet held bar goodies. However, you could be more logical and have umbrellas, towels in a basket for muddy prints, containers in the drawers for emptying pockets.

As Shee and others noted, place the case piece so that the door can fully open and your vent is unimpeded.

Off topic -I remember when you brought the buffet home, Sheesharee! I found the thread and it was 10 YEARS ago - lol! I also remember being a little bossy about a Christmas tableau but you made it look so festive!

Sure, but it's no better than the demilune table you already have.
