Entryway nook

Beau B
8 years ago
Straight on from our entry is a nook that is wrapped by the stairs. We are struggling with how to use it/make it look nice. The dimensions are 43" deep and 50" wide - awkwardly square-like.

Any suggestions on how to use this space/how to stage it?

      i'll share my 'next to stairs' photo. i found having mirrors/objects/ whatever that are round or have indeterminate borders make for better nesting against a slanted top wall. i think a table would look good in your space.

      How about a pretty demilune with a few decorative objects and a piece of art hung on the wall?

      This is the very first thing your guests will see when you open the door. Put a small chest and a beautiful piece of art. Keep it simple but striking. Also, be realistic. Will anyone ever sit at a bench in that spot?

      I agree that best to treat this area as purely decorative (with maybe some light storage). So a console/art combo sounds best

      I would make the space as useful as possible. When you walk in the door you usually have things in your hand, keys, packages, etc. Having a counter height place to set them makes great use of the space. A drawer for keys and mail helps organize. If you don’t wear shoes in your house, a shoe closet below offers a good way to keep clutter down. Then use the wall space above for pictures, mirrors or other miscellaneous design items.
