I like the photo of the chair at entrance with green wall behind and round timber mirror above, all you need now is a large simple pot plant, round perhaps in white, with something like a rubber plant or large leafed variety, or Mother-in-laws tongue perhaps then add a white marble top small table on the other side of the chair, closest to the door with legs to match or similar to the chair. Remove the timber hall table all together and the letters and dragon fly on the opposite wall. That should do it. Pot plant examples photos to follow

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 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 . . . . . . . . .
