Hi Michelle, Lovely table, pick a theme and go for it, could be minimal or over the top luxe, a large plant by the window a large painting or mirror and some beautiful items ... lovely
Megan from Bluethumb online art gallery here. While a mirror would look great there, why not consider having a really unique piece of art instead? It's more of a talking point to greet visitors with, and adds much more personality to a space.
Since the table is quite a dark timber, I'd suggest a bright piece or a light toned neutral to lift the space.
A more neutral, nature themed piece would by this print by one of our best selling artists, Sally Browne: https://bluethumb.com.au/sally-browne/Artwork/cockatiel-forest The benefit of a print is that it's more affordable, and Sally only ever prints a handful of limited editions, so it's still quite a unique piece.
As for styling the table, I'd suggest a vase with lots of greenery and white flowers for a nice neutral softness, plus candles and small accents. Natural elements would really suit all the timber that you have already, and create a really soothing entrance to your home (which is lovely after a busy work day!).
Let me know if I can help with any other artwork suggestions, or mock something up for you.
