    I like the 3rd one best, then the 1st one. When budget allows consider changing the overhead light. Someone called those booby lights once and I can no longer unsee that, lol.

    IMO none of those they in no way work with the clock . I would do something much simpler and claser to the clock in style . For me I would do bench there with a mirror above and a nice piece of art on the wall across form the mirror . I do agree a new light ficture for sure .I find a place to sit in an entry much more useful than a table

    The clock should not be situated in that location. It is too high traffic and can impact function, plus it looks silly behind a door. I personally do not care for any of the tables.

    None. All too busy for rug and don't look good with the clock.

    None. agree you need a much simpler table. also agree that the clock does not look right. it looks squeezed weirdly behind the door and should not be on a diagonal wherever you place it.

    None of them. Foremost because entry ways tend to be dusty so something easy & fast to dust is what I would want. Second, what ^^they said about the consoles not being compatible with the grandfather clock.

    Just to say love your carpet! Also I like the grandfather clock there.

    They are all too busy imo. There must be a better place for the clock-not a good place with the door swinging in that direction.

    A console there is going to feel squeezed in and make that side of room feel heavy, plus the console (including accessories) should complement the clock, style wise. Suggest adding items on opposite wall, center rug, and it might be nice to add a different light at some point. Try clock flush against wall/down a bit and add some prints to balance the wall. Have a plan before buying anything.

    I think a traditional styled console would be better suited with the grandfather clock.

    Funny I just recommended this furniture line for someone who needed a special size coffee table - you could look at Room and Board Parsons table line. You could get the exact size you want and could do the marble quartz to coordinate w your rug/floor, etc - it would be about $750 -$800 depending on the size you land on - so don’t know if that’s in your budget

    Here is an example-ish of what people are talking about. I do agree that the clock there is deteriming the space. I also think it is a bad spot for the clock. If it must go there then you have to work with it. Changing the light fixture might help you modernize the space.

    I think a bench and coat hooks.

    All options are too busy for the space. As others have suggested, a simple console table would work best.

    Get a simple elegant bench or table to balance out the clock, which is quite ornate. You don't want a competing piece. Add modern art.

    Hi Xu!

    I love the clock. I think of the tables you are showing, the half moon - or the circle to complement the face of the clock. Or alternatively, you could still stay Rustic on the console table choice - and go in this direction:

    A very small entry shelf + mirror would look charming and not take up too much room.


    The grandfather clock is lovely and it’s sad to hide it in a corner behind the door. ☹️

    IMO, none work. I also agree that the clock should be placed somewhere so it is flat against the wall. Then center the rug, add a better light fixture. For the entry table consider a painted one,

    I’d center the clock on the wall, put your console table on the side the door opens to (left in the photo) or better yet, assuming this is the entrance to the house that you mostly use, a nice bench with a coat tree. If you mostly go in the house by another door, the console would work on the left wall but I agree with other posters that a more simple and traditional design would compliment the clock better. And yes center the rug on the door.
