    Wallpaper - your choice!

    Is the space on either side of the arch the same? Do you need a place for coats, a place to side, a table to put things on? Who will come in and out of this door on a daily basis?


    You need lighting that will light the space evenly. Do you have a plan for sconces that will do that? If not, what do you think about 3 semi-flush mount ceiling fixtures?

    It would be helpful if you added a floor plan.

    While the entrance hall is 160 square feet, with the multiple door openings there doesn’t seem to be a lot of areas for art and furniture.

    For the wall on the right when you enter, what would be useful - bench, console with mirror, coat rack, etc.?

    Art on the walls wherever there is sufficient space.

    Wall sconces may not project light far enough onto the room. Ceiling fixtures may be a better option.

    I like the bench ideas - i actually have a bench that might work - maybe too large but will see! with a mirror or painting and a plant. I am planning on sconces on the walls beside the openings but haven't decided 100%. also like the benches in front of the doors that are "for looks only." i am thinking sconces instead of overhead lighting because i don't want to compete with the gas lantern on the front porch. thanks! the openings are 5' each.

    For sure no coat hooks or wallpper with those fab doors . Art and large even what would be considered by many too large and a real statement . I do wonder where you can put coats and I like the idea of the benches on front of the non operable windows maybe 2 Van der rohe ones in leather Not sure why no chandeliers but IMO 2 would be fabulouse to see through those iwndows

    Those are some beautiful doors!

    I would definitely add some fabulous light fixtures to show from the outside... wallpaper too for an intriguing peek inside... keep peeps wondering what else there is inside.



    ... this vignette or at least something as interesting (large format framed art) on the other side to draw you through the opening.

    Is there a single wall that separates the entry room from the main living space? Two openings? do they have doors? Will you be adding a rug?

    Consider this:

    • Large bold art for the wall in the hallway, seen through the door to the left as you enter the home from the Front Door. Lit would be nice.
    • A large mirror on the opposite wall to the right as you enter, reflect the bold art and the glass.
    • Sconces - one for each side of the Living Room opening...facing the glass.
    • Benches, plant pots as mentioned.

    Great ideas - thanks!

    Thanks for the like. I'm just thinking if incorporating the hall somehow would bring additional depth.
