Not a Pro.

I think you should keep what you have on the wall and add a beautiful runner to the floor. Done!

I tried a runner, but it just couldn't find a right size

I really like what you have on the wall. Pretty and unique. I like njmomma's suggestion to door mat rug to a runner.

You certainly could add a narrow console table, but I don't think it's necessary.

You could add plants on either side of the door if you like.

With your high ceiling, hang the art grouping vertically with the bottom piece 5" above a slim console table. Once you have the table you can tape out a "rug" to get the size right, leaving the legs of the table off of it.

How long should the runner rug be? Do u keep it like i have the door mat right now or vertically towards the inside of the house?

I like the runner how you have it since you have such beautiful floors. You want to protect them from sand/grit/asphalt on the bottom of shoes and feet from scratching your floors.... But maybe get a 'deeper' one though. I have a similar hardwood, and have a rug that is thin (so the door can open) and it. has rubber grip at the bottom, so it stays put and the rug doesn't move when you walk on it...

A carpet store will cut and bind a broadloom to any size. If they sell remnants of high end broadloom you may find a great price on a very attractive piece. Then you add a non-slip pad.

Here are a few ideas for you from our design portfolio.

I agree that a slender console would work well in your entry. You could still do an eclectic art piece above your console whether it's a collage, canvas, metal piece, etc. The piece below would work well.Good luck!

A table that hangs on the wall? out of reach for busy hands.

Nice door. Like your current art.

Your hall is probably too narrow for a table to be practical … even if a table would fit, it would be a toe stub hazard

Would change the rug.

If you cannot find a long runner you like … or until you do … to protect your floor and not have your rug look like an afterthought, get a mat that is wide enough to fit all the way from side wall to side wall. Brown w/tan or black w/gray either one would work.

Check your local big box store for one of those rugs that has the sloped plastic edging that will not catch a toe and definitely choose one that has a no-skid back.

Great idea. Yes, I don't think a table is practical. And I don't want any more furniture... will look out for those colors on rugs/mats. Thanks again.

If I had this area, I think I'd go with a very narrow table -- just wide enough to hold an accent lamp. And I'd attach it to the wall. I'd go with a table (rather than an equally-useful shelf) because I think a toddler would be more likely to see the shelf as something to grab /climb /pull up upon. With a toddler in mind, too, I'd avoid glass-top tables. Definitely a nice rug/runner to bring in some color.
