Need help with entryway ideas :-)

hace 7 años

Hi Houzzers, I'm trying to finally put together my entryway. I'd like for it to feel welcoming with a little drama ;-) I'd love suggestions for a rug (shape and pattern), smaller console table (less than 32"--should it be rectangular or demilune? I plan to put 3 small or medium sized sunburst mirrors above the console table and have been searching for a 4x6 rug with an animal print--maybe zebra--in taupe. I have found TONS of brown and grey animal prints but no taupe :-( My home is transitional style and has greys and browns so I though taupe would fit/tie in nicely. Open to and appreciate all suggestion :-)

Hi Stacy! Love the taupe zebra pattern, just out of curiosity have you considered replacing the door with translucent or obscured glass to let more light in? It would look great with the sidelites you already have there and would give the entryway a bright and airy look. Here's a few in this image we have as an example. Good luck and have a great day!

Would this rug color work? I love this rug but unfortunately, the manufacturer no longer makes it.

Hello Janice. I understand you already own the furniture and you wish to reupholster them or dress them, is it correct? Could you send us a picture of your space, so we can give more accurate ideas? Thanks :)

Hi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin

Help! I need ideas for roof design // Ayuda! Necesito ideas para techo
Q
(0) comentarios
My project is a small convenience store. The client pretty much wants to use as much space from the lot as he cant so the floor plan is just a rectangle, a simple rectangle. In front there's a covered terrace and i tried to make an entrance that can stand out. The problem right now is I dont want the roof design to be simple, but I'm having trouble with this. Im attaching the floor plan and two options for the main facade. HEEEELP! El proyecto es una tiendita pequeña. El ciente quiso utilizar el terreno al maximo, es por esto que la planta arquitectonica es rectangular, un simple rectangulo. En la fachada principal hay una terraza cubierta y trate de hacer una entrada que resalte. El problema que encuentro ahora es un diseño para el techo que no sea simple. Estoy adjuntando la planta arquitectonica y dos opciones de fachadas. AYUUDA! Mil gracias.

Hi Marina ! I think you have a place that offers a lot of design opportunities. First of all, you would have to see the direction of the sun to locate the places of stay and plan the vegetation. The best thing is that you use vegetation that absorbs the rain and does not need great maintenance and irrigation to minimize the work due to the access it presents. I could help you make a 3d design if you wanted to visualize ideas for your terrace, I would be happy to assist you! Greetings and good day!

I think a round rug would be gorgeous in this space. If you feel you have the room, a nice round weathered black table with a vase of flowers would be lovely. An animal print or a damask would be a nice pattern for a rug. (The rugs with the damask print do come in a round).

Thanks Art! I really like both prints -- the animal print is especially lovely :-) I'll see if it comes in a 4' round size. I never thought of Roy d but now that you suggested it, I like how it balances the sharp angles there--thanks for your input :-)

Thank you Art! I just put the 4' round animal print rug in my cart. My entryway is not big enough to put your original idea to use, unfortunately. Could I still get that look by putting a small console table on the left wall under the light switch? What shape though? Rectangular? Demi-line? And btw, I love the idea of it being weathered black! Should I still go with my idea of putting the small or medium starbursts above? I have a big sunburst in my living room so not sure if that would be too repetitive. I love tour rug idea--I've been contemplating rugs for months so thanks for helping me check that off my list :-)

I think the round rug will look great! I might nix the idea of the starbursts, though. Won't they interfere with the light switches?

Thanks Crespo! Love the pics and very inspiring :-)

@Indomom, I can't move the switch since it's too much $ -- electrician said it would be hundreds to move o ER plus I would need to hire a painter to repair the wall afterwards. The sunburst idea was to place a few around the switch but I'm open to any other ideas or suggestions :-)

Oh, I wasn't suggesting moving the switches; that would be a nightmare. Maybe something art-y on the table to draw your eye there instead of to the switches? A basket or bowl for keys? Also, I'm not completely against the sunbursts. I'm terrible at visualizing, so they might be just fine. :)

If you would like a little drama, I would paint the inside of your door black (and side window frame) and then add a rectangle sisal or hemp rug. You can easily work around the light switch by using a bench and adding hooks above and around (see below). Foyer will be personal and interesting.

I would love to put a mirror or art but whatever size would fit would cover the switchplate :-( I feel like my only option would be some sort of collage of items. I am also terrible at visualizing ;-)

@Maureen, wow, I never thought of that but I do like the idea of painting the door and side window frames :-) I ordered the animal print round rug but I'm game to trying out the sisal one as well ;-) I will post a pic of the rugs when I get them :-)

I think a nice rectangular, open table, or one with shelving would be nice. Make sure the bottom has more of an open design to allow for the heat vent to still be accessible. That light switch is dead center. like @indomom suggests - something on the table to draw your attention. Maybe that tall vase like I suggested before? I love the style of the pail @maureen posted - now only if you could get it in a smaller, narrower version! I do love the round lay out on the floor, and love the other suggestions for materials. My only concern on the sisal is that they are really hard to maintain (my husband is in the rug restoration business), and sometimes sisal shrinks when it gets wet. Just something to think about. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Would a console like this work?

Not sure if this is the style you guys hand in mind but I've been searching the everywhere online for a "transitional console table in black, no more than 32 inches" I seem to find a the majority are traditional. Rug is expected to arrive tomorrow :-)

Thoughts or visual suggestions for the console? TIA

I like that table. Nice curvy lines to go with your round rug.

Thanks indomom :-) I found a console I love but it's about twice as much as I'd like to pay :-( $650

I got the rug today and i think it looks too gray...this is the "camel/dark grey" color. I'm assuming I should return it and go for the warmer brown. I love the pattern but I thought the grey would go with more of the grey in my home...

EEEEK! Sorry, stacy_pon, but it looks kinda cheap. I don't think the warmer brown will work either. I don't find a circular shape to be all that serviceable for a front entry. MO.

I hear ya pat1250, not working for me either. I wasn't sure if it was the color or shape but I was game to try ;-) At $150 for a 4' round rug, I don't know if that's average price to pay but when I rolled it out, I wasn't like "Wow!" Lol

Too small for sure. Good try though! I think a rectangle woven wool/jute would feel more modern and see the dark grey in picture below. I have had one in my front hall and because they are inexpensive, I change it up every 2 years or so for a fresher replacement. Also have one in my kitchen and it is a work horse!

Yep, good try, but that's a no-go. I like the 2nd console you picked. I have a small console table in my entry and it has taken a lot of abuse. I didn't pay much for it, so it is definitely replaceable. Maybe spending more to get longer use is a good use of your money? I guess it will depend on the rug you choose, too. Sorry, not very helpful, I know.

@maureen, where can I get these rugs you shared? do you mean the second to last from the bottom?

I had suggested the bottom one, as you had referenced grey. These types of rugs can be found at many retailers and I live in Canada and know that Home Sense has some good selections. Wayfair carries lots of selections and thought you might like the attached. https://www.wayfair.com/Kosas-Home-Intoppo-Jute-Gray-Area-Rug-GHM1874.html#&gid=null&pid=1
