Help me dress my front entrance please

9 år siden

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 :-)

It's gorgeous! I wouldn't put anything in front of that window. If you're not opposed to painting brick, I would paint the pillars the same color as your walls. Get a beautiful entry rug and call it a day!

It's the green, thriving garden view that people will notice, not the entry way. Just add a rug in the entry.

I wouldn't add anything in front of the window. I would focus on the garden outside.

Not everything has to be "dressed". The beautiful view speaks for itself.

Could 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...

Yes, 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!

The 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.

Create a floral flower layout in the garden and leave the entrance hallway unfurnished. The suggestion of a complimentary rug is a good one.
If, you must have a console table try to place a glass or clear plexi-glass table there and keep the view un-interupted.
