    Are you happy with the furniture, and the placement of the furniture and the rug? Why are you using so little of the room???

    Please take more pictures of the room. Is this part of a foyer? Is this part of a dining room?

    This is our entryway room, right when you walk in the front door.

    The table is over powered by the wall, the mirror and the basket. You need a table with some visual weight. I see a light fixture right of that area. Care to show us pix of that space? I think you may have better locations for all of your pieces. start by trying the chairs and table instead of that table. You may need a smaller rug for that particular spot though. Post more pix of the stair area and your foyer.

    Do you ever use this space, or is it merely "filler" as it currently sits? If it doesn't get much use, you might consider adding a bookcase along the expanse of wall and turning it into a little reading nook. I could envision creating something quite cozy and inviting here, provided it works with the layout of the entry and traffic flow.

    Depending upon budget, of course, but you can change the wall surface by putting 3D wall panels or a board & batten which would give you texture and dimension. Or you can make a gallery wall of large scale art work. I would also get larger scale furniture. Whatever you choose should be impactful since that seems to be a major wall.

    Here is the foyer

    Now that I see all of the pictures, I'm not sure you need anything else on the walls. The issue is that everything is stacked against the walls, and furniture is too small.


    Can you get a much longer table? The width is ok - the length is off. Then, pull your chairs and the side table away from the wall (about middle of the rug) keeping the same angle. Move the plant into one of the corners (probably the one on the left).


    I would also think about adding curtain panels to both sides of that big window to frame the space.

    The reason why the situation is like this is because the average person doesn't understand how to scale furniture and decor pieces to align with the size of a room. I agree with Sorell Interiors and mid-century modern style furniture tends to be smaller because it has a streamlined appearance. I'm leary of using it in staging, unless I know I can pair it with more robust pieces to avoid looking tiny.

    Thank you everyone for the tips! Any ideas of what I could decorate this side table with? Also, I feel like the top window is just awkward, but feel it be too much if I added some cascading plants...thoughts?

    Also I must add, that this is the “ before” photo!

    possibly some cool art?

    Please don't put cascading plants on that top window. It needs nothing.

    I'd put a long console with large artwork on that wall. Add curtain panels from the top window to the floor and have a runner going from the front door to about where the stairs stop.

    Replace the 2 chairs with one chair and a nice table with a lamp or possibly a tripod lamp.



    Start with artwork at the door - then console and mirror.

    Big art for big walls won't require much else.

    I would slide your table and mirror down the wall closer to the front door, so the end of the table is in line with the front of the stair rail. Then use a large piece of art near the end of the wall, close to the window, so the art becomes part of the seating area. As an alternative, you can slide the table and mirror into the seating group, and put a very large piece of art on the wall between the seating area and the door. Add a large rug at your front door. That's all you need.

    Pulling the chairs out a bit looks SO much better!! Love the plant where you have it now.
