Decorating space in foyer

Janet Pizaro on Aug 20, 2015I think possibly a wrought iron piece to compliment the light fixture might work for you. As far as the bedroom I would like to see pictures.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Aug 20, 2015Nice foyer. Would remove the wreath. I'd paint the whole door assembly a brighter/contrasting colour to draw the eye downward, and place a taller plant to the right to balance the mirror and plant on the left. Wouldn't worry about putting anything above the door.Helpful Reply

The Redesign Habit on Aug 20, 2015I think a big, beautiful metal wall piece between door and upper window would be nice. Also, some tall plants flanking the door to draw your eyes up. You have a beautiful, big space and you want to take advantage of that. Maybe think about painting that front wall a nice color a couple shades darker than the walls around it to draw attention to the window above and whatever artwork you put there. Remove your wreath from the door so that attention goes to new piece above. Just make that whole front wall a focal point.Helpful Reply

Dulce on Aug 20, 2015In my traditional point of view, I think the solution lies in the space between window and door. I would install something there, maybe a painting or group of small framed art (thinking of English homes with soaring ceilings and artwork hanging everywhere) that could be admired from the stairs, mainly. Perhaps a window treatment (draperies) as well to add interest. I would never paint the door and surroundings a different color, since all the woodwork is white and it would clash. I hope this helpsHelpful Reply

Jan Loehr on Aug 20, 2015You have gotten lots of good suggestions for the area around your front door, but have you considered a frosted privacy film for all those glass panels both above and on each side of the door? With interior lights on at night one can see inside your foyer and may be beyond & no matter what you decide for the wall decor, you may want privacy too. I have done my sidelights with a film that just cuts to fit then wet the window and squeegee it down and let dry. I feel much more secure knowing that whoever rings the doorbell is not peering in to see if we are home. JoAnn sells the product...Helpful Reply

LD on Aug 21, 2015You could hang quilt(s) in this space as long as the sunlight doesn't shine on them, for direct sunlight will bleach the colors.Helpful Reply

Constance Marshall on Aug 21, 2015I think the first thing I would do is make that one wall a different color. That could give you some inspiration. You may find that is all you need.. . There is so many ways to go. Take a cue from the rest of your house, I saw a wall of mirrors done once, Stencil something. Let us know what you did.Helpful Reply

Constance Marshall on Aug 21, 2015oh, you could also take the wreath off the door and hand a larger on in that blank area.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Aug 21, 2015I am a plant person so I would hang one of my 3' Rhipsalis there. I am always looking for places to put or especially hang plants in the winter and now will need places in the summer as the squirrels have been trimming all my plants this summer.Helpful Reply

Liliana Wells on Aug 22, 2015Since I see other plants in your foyer,I see stencils of vines above your door. Or if you like brick, use stencils to creat a brickstone wall. Good luck. Please post pictures of what you decide to doHelpful Reply

Thrifty Artsy Girl on Aug 22, 2015I was lucky and found this metal art that matches my chandelier :) I found it at a store called Old Time Pottery. Hobby Lobby and Kirklands also sell big metal wall art that is pretty affordable.Helpful Reply
