Help with entry way art!

8 years ago

I have these Josephine Mahaffey prints I wanted to put on my entryway wall. Not sure if they are the right scale, or what layout I could try. It's an enclosed area, the table is 35"w x 12" depth x 28 1/2"h. The wall is 8 foot. There's a closet door to the R of the entry. Do I need something more substantial there?

Maybe remove all of it and simply hang the largest piece centered 5' above the floor to the right of the closet. Then put a mirror on the wall you're considering. You could hang a floating shelf below it to be useful but keep the minimal floor space open.

I kind of like the table/shelves in there now. A mirror is an option...looking at it from this angle, the art seems wimpy. Even if I used the deer head or cow skull I have.

I thought about trying to make this, but then I found the shelves at Marshall's for a good price.

Could I go tall with the art like this, or forget this art for this space?

I like the layout you had with the deer head, except that I would move the lower picture on the right down another inch or so.

Just trying other ideas. It's hard to try to decorate when you have a blank slate and trying to use what you already have! Still considering ditching the shelves...

Any other suggestions? Thought this seemed simple and clean with the deer head on the wall (couldn't pic and hold at the same time)

I like the art better on that end wall at the wine bar.

I feel like I'm going in the wrong direction. I don't know if it's the shelves, or the décor. Maybe a tray or bowl instead of the "cheerio" sculpture? Or scrap and start over?
