So, I've finally decided that I need to actually decorate our apartment, and I've started shopping for color swatches of paint, deciding what type of theme I would like for the rooms, etc.
I'd like some input on our entryway.
This is what it looks like right now.

I'd like to get rid of the dog organizer on the wall (it was a present and I actually like it a lot, but it's not very...decorative, I guess. I will probably hang it in my bedroom on the door instead, for treats and such.
I'd like to put in something like this along the left wall, to put shoes in, a key bowl on, etc.
And I feel like I can find one with the larger cubby spaces, and then put a nice storage container in it with leashes and such for the dogs.
Not this design, but something like this...
and then I can still have all the dog stuff at the ready, but it will be less in your face.
Other than that, I'm having a hard time deciding on things like color (it's already small, and I don't want it to seem any smaller by making it dark!) and just general ideas for decorations that look like and take up some wall space?
I really need to get another area rug for right inside to help with keeping the carpet clean. And I'd like to hang a picture or SOMETHING over that atrocious grey box on the right.
The whole house is going to be pretty simple in decoration, nothing crazy. I am a big fan of simple, lightly colored rooms.
P.S. the wheels and car suspension will be leaving. Soon. lol
I'd love to see what everyone else has in their entryways as well, so I can steal all of your ideas
