Hi all
We have just moved into a new place and I'm not sure how to dress my front entrance. There is a large window as soon as you walk through the front door. There are decorative exposed brick pillars on either side of the window. I'm worried that a console table would cover too much of the window. Any ideas are welcome and pictures would be awesome too. Thanks :-)

Comments (9)I agree with Red80 re furniture layout. There are lots of good things in this room, I just personally find the cushions and blinds clash with the chandelier and wallpaper. I would swap the 2 geometric cushions for softer patterns in lighter grey/white/duck egg. I'd get something with different textures as the cushions fabrics look the same atm? Add accessories to your coffee table, maybe just a pile of books, a vase of flowers, and an "ornament" in wood/ceramic/pewter etc again for texture. When budget allows swap the blinds for Roman blinds. Try blinds 2 go or Tuiss which is their sister company if you're in the UK. I can't remember the exact price but I got pure silk Roman blinds for 2 really large windows for c£450 which sounds a bargain to me although not yet up:) I agree the mirror is a little high. If you can, without leaving a hole on show in the wallpaper, I'd lower it as long as it doesn't reflect the tv! I'm not sure the pics to the left of the window work as they're obscured by the curtains. Perhaps also a taller vase/pot in the blue for the tv cabinet to detract from the tv a little more? Alternatively you could change the wallpaper and the mirror to give the room a contemporary rather than classical feel...See Morecan you help me design my daughter’s window dressings please?
Comments (3)Blind would suit the window better as it’s small; look through fabrics together and ultimately let her choose but guide her towards a pattern (since walls are plain) that will last as a style but go for funky cord and cord knobs. In terms of colour contrast the walls - don’t match. For coral, you’d need green/blue.....See MoreEntrance Hall Design Dilemma - help please!
Comments (5)I agree with Minnie it's already looking lovely. I think a bit of texture would warm it up a bit. So I was going to suggest painting the door too and/or adding a door curtain - maybe a nice heavy velvet? Bottle green? You have a nice space to right hand side to pull the curtain over too. Also maybe a rug in front of the console table. I have a bit of an obsession with Persian style rugs as they can introduce lots of lovely warm, burnished type colours but that's just my preference. Something else on the floor would break up the coolness of the tiles - although you might have to experiment with some rug grips. Also some more art above radiator etc. It's already a very lovely hallway and so nice to have such a large space....See MoreHelp with bedroom design with dressing room and ensuite please
Comments (5)I’m assuming the soil pipe is near to the top right corner. There could be two entrances to the bathroom if you had a smaller shower and placed the bath diagonally across the corner under the window. For added light to the wardrobe area, the bed partition need not be full height The TV position might be an issue, perhaps where the dressing table is shown….. Lovely big room, I am imagining a lovely view is through the patio windows…...See More

9 years agoCould you post a picture showing further to the right and left of the window. what your entry needs is wall color and connection to the beautiful outdoor scene. Consider to the right of the window where there is tile not wood (this is where a photo showing more would help) placing a ceramic pot either a bold color such as orange or an earthy color containing a live plant such as snake plant that grows up not out. This will bring a touch of the outdoor element into the entry. I agree that window dressing would detract and that a nice entry rug would enhance the area. Hard to give ideas without knowing what the rest of your décor is like...

9 years agoYes, the view does speak for itself. But if you would like to add some decorative accents so the space doesn't feel so empty, try placing a tall vase with bamboo next to the window to compliment the view outside. Add an entry rug that would also bring in the view from outside (like a green patterned rug). I hope this helps!

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoThe green rug is nice for a clam monochromatic feel. Consider also a more dramatic look by using as a complimentary color such as red-orange. This entry is large and dramatic so make a statement with your rug...and bring some color into the walls. Even a mid tone to dark gray would add some richness to match the beautiful window.
