Home Decorating Design Dilemma Entry

Entry Way Decor

I have no idea what to do in the entry way. We have a bench and a console table. Any ideas? It's narrow and long, contemporary style. Some art on the way, maybe an accent wall? Mirror?

without knowing your style, I'll suggest mine.

I'd paint the Door wall a color you love, something that will make you smile every time you look that way.

Yes, a big Mirror (Round for fun) above your console, so last minute look before you go out.

a Bowl for keys, etc. a Hook or few for a quick hang.

And a long runner... to fill the space, something inexpensive, so you can change it out when interests change. Ruggables.com, rugs.com, wayfair.com lots of options. Have Fun!

I would get a bench that is longer and has baskets underneath for shoes. Hang art over it. Console is too small. Get a larger one and put it further up on the right side where the recessed wall is.

Maybe a skinny console table with artwork or a mirror over it and a bench might work well. Below are a few ideas we have from designs we have completed for our clients.
