Entrance way help
Comments (11)Hi, not sure how the full length of your wall jutting out looks. But I think a mirror covering that entire part of the wall and then a fantastic piece of artwork on the wall above your small table would look great and open the space up a lot. Depending on the size of the artwork you could even do without the table. Imagine the gorgeous impact that would make....See MoreBest way to style an inviting entry?
Comments (3)What a beautiful home you have... sweet details on that door.. I feel the rug is too dark. It looks like a Persian rug? Maybe use it in a brighter space in the home and invest in a lighter one for the entrance. You could also consider some interesting white or lighter coloured ceramics for the sideboard to break up the dark tones already there... Will love to see what you end up doing...See Moreliving room and entry way
Comments (10)Hi mitz. The first thing I would do is add a slim timber console table to just inside entry, to serve as a place to drop-off zone for keys, wallet, mail, etc. As there is an electrical outlet there, a table lamp would be useful and provide pleasant lighting. You could hang a mirror over the table or a wall hanging or artwork, if you prefer. Just be sure to keep size in perspective to the console and entry area. A woven basket under the console would add texture and provide a bit of storage. By using an electrical power strip you would be able to tidy up the TV, etc. cords and contain them to one wall outlet. You certainly have the wall space to accomodate a large artwork, perhaps something abstract and colourful? I also love wallhangings. Etsy has a number of artists who will custom create to suit your colours, and also size. Whatever you choose, take your time and be sure you really love it. You could also add a potted plant in a raised pot stand and a basket or two (vary size and shape) for greenery and texture and baskets make great storage containers. A grouping would help fill in wall space as well as be practical. At some point, you may like to add an area rug to ground your lounge area and help delineate it from kitchen/dining space. Take things slow and have a good look around before committing to purchase. I check out our many local op shops for used baskets - I've found some lovely ones to hold magazines, plants and throws in my house. Best wishes!...See MoreJooosh up our entrance
Comments (8)I too think putting timber frames around the windows and painting them white would break up the starkness of the grey. Just an opinion, but I don't think the shutters go with this style of house. With white painted garage doors, your house will look great. Agree your creeper is stunning....See Morebigreader
