    Need more info. How wide is your mirror? How wide and long is the entry? More photos would help. It looks like a very narrow so a demi-lune table would be great. Not sure what style of furnishings nearby are either. This table is pretty timeless. Just need size of item above. It is wall mounted. I have another one in mind but need to post from my desktop. Later.

    Here is another one that might work better. It is more narrow if I recall. the black and antique gold finish would work well with your mirror. I will say, I think the mirror is too wide for the spot. The picture may be distorted, but can you open the door without it hitting the mirror? If not, you need a smaller mirror.

    The metal Demilune above is 14" deep at deep part of curve. The reason I like these for narrow locations, is that there is more room on the ends for greater spacing for walking or "doors", but I worry about that door, so need those measurements.

    Your door swings into that space that is why we suggested a piece of art instead of the mirror . Really a mirror in an entry needs a table but you do not have enough space unless you move the mirror down the wall so the door clears the table.

    It really depends on the decor of the rest of your house - not that you would want your console to match exactly but it should coordinate.

    I just put this table in my back hallway. Love it. Only 8 inches deep!

    Thanks @deegw, you hit the mark! I think the rug will provide balance but will not compromise the space of entry way. Also just for clarification, although on the photo the door looks like it will hit the mirror as it swings open, it doesn’t. Also the height of the door is 8ft, the light fixture is way off from the door . Thank you so much for all your great ideas, specially to deegw, your suggestion will ultimately solve my dilemma 🥰

    The shape of the mirror is so wrong for the entry





    Use a vertical format or round mirror for entries

    It’s not, I don’t want to get a square shaped mirror because it will diminish the length of the wall and will not emphasize the height of the wall. A square Shaped mirror on a rectangular wall will visually diminish the entire space.

    also the table height you suggested is is not proportion to the distance of the mirror from the floor, it looks too high. I like the wooden table from the previous photo but it looks heavy, i stay away from

    heavy looking furniture pieces..

    The table will either be 29 -32" tall. Those are typical for console tables. The mirror should NOT be square but vertical. I'm sorry my crude rendering skills did not fully illustrate my intent. No one uses a horizontal mirror in an entry.

    You might also consider a wall mounted floating shelf. Less imposing on small area
