Long entryway/passage ideas please?

4 years ago

I have attached picture. Not able to decide if the table should towards horizontal wall or vertical? Also should there be a runner or too outdated ? Do want to add some greenery as it is easy facing entrance. TIA for all the help.

    Sorry posted same photo twice. I meant to add this one instead.

    I think the first one looks a lot more cohesive.

    The wall on the left (photo showing towards the back of the house) seems longer than the one facing the entrance door. Therefore I'd be tempted to use that wall for a console, mirror and accessories, and artwork on the opposite wall to the console. At the entrance door, I show a vase with tall branches on the left and you can also have artwork on the wall on the right of the door. Your also need a runner on the floor, I show a natural fiber but look at Ruggable online, they have several models in different patterns and colours (all washable and dryable no matter the size), here I'd use a light colour, it looks like a dark area.

    It seems like everything looks good on light floors. Hard to find a console table for dark floors like mine.

    If you send me pictures of the style of your house, I'd be in a better position to be more precise for the choices you can make.

    Don’t have a style chosen yet. We are yet to really decorate our place. Attached some pic with living room at the entrance and kitchen (excuse the mess). But in reality really need to get the 1st floor sorted out.

    Rather then trying to fill the space/ walls and feeling busy, I would create one interesting configuration on wall on the right. Start there and could try a rug. You could add a tall plant in corner on left. Less is more.

    I don't have the dimensions of the wall I had suggested for the console table but looking at the new photos you just added both walls considered for the console table look about the same lenght. The console in this proposal is 44 inches long. Seeing your sofa in the living room, here is one idea but there can be many more that could be nice with your dark wood floors...

    In your follow-up photos, that wall on the left doesn't really look that much longer than the wall facing the door? What are the dimensions of each? also, looks like the sofa in the front room is too big for that space. What is intended purpose of that room?

    I would suggest a small console table or cabinet with mirror above & the necessary accessories. I'd add a colorful rug to make the area special.

    Nothing needs to be placed on the long wall. Once you have all the other items installed, you'll be thankful for some bare walls.
