Comments (2)I'm certainly no designer but if you already have a wall sconce either side of the mirror, then I would remove the lamp on the table and replace it with some other item like a nice piece of personal art, or vase and I do think a larger plant would look better on the ground as suggested by emwoodhouse. Would love to see other photo's of this entry to see if even a sitting area is a possibility. I think a rug could look nice too....See MoreStyling help with entry hallway
Comments (11)I would just LOVE a space like this in my home, for I would agree with dohraime above and keep the flow and view into your lounge space free-flowing. One can never have too many views to gaze at! I would make the space say "library" and: - keep the wall unit and include plenty of books - keep the gorgeous floor lamp - add 2 small lightish coloured, plain or patterned comfy chairs and a small coffee table underneath the stairs - add a complimentary console table on the wall opposite the stairs - add a large stylish mirror over the console table to bounce light around the fairly dark space - add a generously sized, patterned rug with some lightish colours in it, round or oblong, whichever you prefer. If the comfy chairs are patterned, ensure the rug coordinates with them Oh .... And a statement pendant ceiling light as well even though you have down lights already good luck!...See MoreHelp improve front landscape/entrance!
Comments (13)Keep an eye on your bromeliads. Now that the tree has gone, they might not like so much sun and will need to be moved. Maybe under your front window? The stone edging screams 80's, I agree with removing it or growing something to cascade over the top. Stump removal can be expensive. Maybe attack the multiple stump clump with shovels and an axe to get it below ground level. You could put a birdbath or sculpture on top of the large stump? Even a large decorative pot? Clumping bamboos grow quickly and could add some softness. I like the previous suggestion of grasses too. Good luck with it....See MoreEntrance ideas needed, please!
Comments (9)I love Julie's industrial table ideas -- my worry though is whether they fit with the fairly 'structured' front door ? Having said that , if you did a table top in the the same style and colour as the door , it would look too corporate . So just me personally -- I'd go for a black 'rough' table top and black industrial legs ( steel or wooden ) , and maybe a brass vase , or even one glazed in a primary colour to match the rest that I'll add ! Instead of mirrors , I'd get a large ( say 1.5mtr wide and 1.2mtr tall ) abstract or similar picture in colours that match whatever else you can see ( presumably the lounge area ? ) , and if there isn't much colour , add some -- maybe some red and yellow and orange cushions and a smaller abstract pic ; or blue and green and teal ; or brown and grey and charcoal if you want to be more subdued . Just me . And as bigreader says -- a rug in the predominant clour used too -- in fact , maybe a small rug 1mtr x 1mtr or similar , but a lot larger 3mtr x 4mtr in the lounge or family or dining or whatever you can see upon entering . just some thoughts . . . . . . . . ....See Moredecodilema
