Need help decorating foyer
Just moved into a new home and I have not decorated our foyer. The double front iron doors lead into a foyer that is 7ft wide by 12 ft before it opens into our formal dining and living area. I have purchased this console table but I am not sure how to accessorize. Also, need advice on art for that wall. The ceilings are 12 ft. There are french doors leading into a formal living room opposite of this console...and there is also an antique round oak mirror with hat hooks. Attached you will see entry, the console and wall that needs help....I've also attached some accessories that I currently have placed on the console.

I'd place the tree sculpture somewhere else - find that perfect mirror or sparkly bit - bigger is always better, less is more mentality - and I love the roses idea...
These photos are first one of a design scheme I'm working on using roses, 2nd and 3rd photos are from Global Views.com - my favorite accessory store. Giving you ideas on how to stage your foyer - maybe you need some wallpaper to dress this area and give the walls some substance and interest!
Good luck buckeyemamato2
May I suggest adding a huge floor mirror that goes behind the console and straight up - you need to create drama. Don't worry if it doesn't fit to the edge - but it must be as wide as the central part - it is the height that will validate it. Then add an orchid to one side and a pile of interesting hardcover art books below.

I can't see your ceiling - but perhaps a dramatic chandelier (reflected in your mirror) could work.
All the best in this lovely project
