last modified: 5 years ago

my entry is bare and not sure what to do with these two spots between kitchen and dining!! Help!! All ideas welcome. (ps we are still in remodel phase as we gutted the house so bare with all working areas- we haven’t done trim or baseboards yet those will come soon). The space to the left of door and right of window. And then the place where mirror plants are both areas I need help with your expertise interior design my friends :).

This space where mirror and plants are I’m not sure what to do here— thought about having a cabinet built and do a coffee/drink bar to round off kitchen?? With floating shelves above?!?! help

The space to the right of the bar/window is sooo bare and odd as door open to it.. need help with decorating

Just an odd large space for a small house- all ideas welcome

i have two pieces of art in this area already- which can be moved to other places- wondering if i should buy a mirror and place somewhere

Sorry for messy house in photo but this show where all artwork is . this is an old farmhouse and we still run a print farm so we have the peony art over on dining buffet. as You all can see I’m drawn to co deep blue tones in the home. I like it to feel loved in welcoming and like you want to cozy up and stay a while

First, I'd trim out the front door with casing to make it more finished looking. Shall I assume that was removed during your kitchen remodel? If so, call the contractor back to finish the door.

As for the space between the door and the counter, as well as the plant/mirror area near the stairs, I'd get large framed pieces of art. Because you have a French-inspired hood for your range, maybe vintage French posters would be fun. Something like these, perhaps?

Thank you Sabrina for ideas- the trim and baseboards are not finished yet just as my hubby hasn’t had time. He has done the whole remodel. I have a piece of art on wall across from the bare space would that be too much art? As I also have a piece on dining wall.. wondering if a mirror should be put somewhere

A rug? Maybe a very small table on the side where the door opens? or a plant? I assume you live in a warm climate as you have no place for coats or boots. Not saying you should create that clutter, but think about the transition from outside to inside that a guest would encounter. What do they do at the front door... if they would gravitate to the bar there, maybe use a rug to suggest that connection.

I have thought about adding a coat hanger.. I also did have a white cowhide there.. but I have one under dining table and removed it for as I was unsure of it was too much Going on. We all come into house through garage so haven’t really used the front door much. Thank you so much for feedback!!!!
