I'm unsure of the correct way, but I like the first styling best. Looks really lovely and interesting.

HiJulie I decided not to get the fiddle leaf from tvsn are looking at another one which is a bit higher. Those baskets are lovely. Maybe I can try a lamp there, but need to get a power point put there.

It looks great.

I knew what you were talking about !! Thanks Julie yes its all coming together just moving a few things around and just need to update décor items ive had for a while. I sometimes second guess myself when I'm styling. I think maybe it would be easier to hire a interior stylist to help as I'm not sure what works and sometimes I buy something and think that looks great and get it home and it doesn't work and Ive wasted money.

If I put a table lamp on the glass console table in entry should I stay with a silver one like I have or go with glass???

Julie which website is the glass lamp on?

Julie I quite like that one will have a look. Do you think that style of lamp will still fit in with my other home décor. I'm not sure really what is my style a bit of scandi, modern.?

I have this lamp as well what do you think?

Debbie, I just noticed you placed your potted plant in the basket-looks wonderful!

I like that particular lamp there. Ties in with flooring so well.

Thanks Julie and annb1997 ive had the lamp for a few years but was packed away with other things I haven't unpacked. Have brought my fresh flowers for the week so have updated all my vases around the house with lovely fresh blooms.

A nice reunion then! I too love fresh flowers in the house. Enjoy!

spmm I felt it needed something there but didn't have anything else any suggestions?

Now my interest is peaked...what is the title of the book? I think any book serves as a talking point and is never out of place anywhere.

I vote for second. Elegant, less cluttered so I can see the beautiful table and get feels no of space, less is more as they say.

Im thinking of putting some artwork possibly on the opposite wall of mirror and maybe a floor runner. With the artwork not sure whether to go for something abstract to work with existing artwork and end of entrance. I did have a print with pinks, grey but didn't quite look right. Black and White print or photos and frames???Any suggestions please.

Good morning, Debbie. Gosh, I really loved the way you styled your console and had it on the left side of hallway as your entry. I'm not sure I can explain it other than to say it was visually more pleasing. With the large painting on left wall of entry, it seems to dominate and the beauty of your console table becomes secondary and therefore not as visually pleasing. Maybe it's just me; seeing a photo isn't the same as actually being there, so trust your own instincts!

The nook you refer to, is that further down the hallway, where the large painting was before you moved it? If you leave that painting where it was originally, would your ordered console table fit under it? I love how that large painting drew the eye down the hallway, and it's certainly possible a console table would work there as well. Any chance you can share a pic of the console you have on order?

cheers!

I prefer the second option it looks less cluttered to me, one again just my personal opinion I think a hallway can look cluttered with too much if adding larger art on the opposite wall so maybe use a 'test' one to see if you would like it you must have something else in your home of same dimensions that you could use as a tester?

That was you won't make a mistake after you've bough something.

My personal choice would be to leave it be there is the interest on that side and nothing else is really needed, it looks lovely the way it is.

Hi m_mdimond thanks for your suggestions I have decided on not putting artwork on opposite wall after having a look on numerous websites and in stores I just couldn't find anything I thought would work. I may at some stage just get photos I have of grandchildren at put in really nice frames and have on that wall. I did a style quiz the other day which was pretty spot on with my style indicating I was a bit of a minimalist. So will leave as it for the moment and move on to another project which is not house related but planning overseas trip next year to Italy and Greek Islands.

Good for you, nothing better than the thought of a warm country when it's winter, it is a beautiful destination, well actually both places are, good luck:)

Sounds wonderful, Debbie! All the best.

Hi Susan Ballard I love the glass table and I think it does look good where I have it positioned as it works well with the mirror. Your probably the only person that has suggested it doesn't look right but thanks for the suggestions anway.

Hi Susan Our front entry is only really used when I have guest we either go out the back door or via carport so that's probably why I thought this would be ok as an entry table. As we recently built our house im tying to make furniture I already had work. I also understood what you were saying about not overcrowding the table.

Im looking at a floor runner for the entry not sure on whether to go sisal, patterned or plain. My carpet throughout is a light grey wool. Any suggestions please.

Personally if I were to put a runner down the area I'd keep it either plain or a very soft muted colour palate maybe with the grey and natural colours as right now it looks quite classy so you don't want to make it to bold or in your face just soft and calming for the area to enhance it all as one look. I don't really think you need one at all as I love the softness of the area as a whole as it is, sometimes less is more but it once again comes down to personal taste.

I too like the richness and beauty of your timber hallway, but I also like runners and rugs for their practical purpose of protecting the floor. I think sisal would look good; it's simple and doesn't compete with elements around it. Here are a couple colours to get an idea how it might look:

The light one would be my preference as it still allows the eye to be drawn all the way down hall to your beautiful artwork.

I agree with Anne re the lighter rug if you decide to go that way, it does draw your eye to the artwork which you have placed perfectly for that reason.

Oh, and a rug mat/anti-slip mat placed under rug! Cheers.

Your styling is on point I think with a lighter rug the whole area will look amazing. Well Done
