entryway needs love

8 years ago

Here’s what I have now, I was thinking of removing all that and putting a big mirror- it would reflect a window. Unsure of size and shape of mirror, note the pic with the front door open. Also, is a mirror alone enough?

Very nice looking family but I'm a big fan of not decorating main areas with family pictures, even a lovely portrait. Reserve those for a hall gallery or the bedroom.

Beautiful antique chest. It's not being shown off properly at the doorway.

A bench with art above might look nice in that spot.

May we see all walls and a shot taken from the floor above. You may have missed an opportunity in this foyer.

I agree with leveled...guests already know who lives there. Over the chest, a mirror and on top a handsome dish for keys, etc.

I love the piece you have now! Simply replacing the photo with a mirror would do wonders. Also in place of the framed photo on the chest, add a decorative bowl that can also serve as an entry catch all. Here are some suggestions!

So nice, and several features to attract the eyes. So I don't favor the console - seems a beautiful rug.... rounded.... or?

It looks like everyone got all dressed up to take the photo - so showcasing it the way that you have is fine. I'd center it on that wall and put a bench under it and a hinge on the door so that it does not hit the bench.

HI -- I think the chest is not right . I would only have a longer thin console table with a big mirror or painting above . Or just one huge floor mirror . It is not safe to show family photos at the entrance of a house . Lovely family photos are more in the intimate areas of the home.

A slim console would be great with a buffet lamp and mirror above. This is an example, 10” wide so should miss being in the way of the door. Lovely home. As Debz mentioned a nice rug to make it more welcoming.

That wall will never be able to have anything balanced and centered on it due to the door swing. Consider a lovely round foyer table floating out in the center of the area, and lower your chandy to hover above it.
