Wow, that's a lot of furniture for a foyer. Way too much.

I think it's beautiful and elegant. Not too practical....but very pretty.

@stevieb

Lovely.

I have a similar large granite sphere on my front porch....it's perfectly useless

When I saw it at a local nursery, I commented on it and, evidently DH thought I really wanted it! Yikes, the thing showed up on the porch and I've been moving it around ever since to keep from tripping on it.

Didn't have the heart to tell him I only thought it was interesting, but not at MY house. It's near impossible to roll around and dangerous when it gets going

This space is very grandiose, but it appears they've converted it to a living room. I bet they have at least 2 or 3 other living/family room spaces, so is all that furniture really necessary?

This must be the foyer of Marie Antoinette, right?

Wow, this looks like a French country home. For a foyer, there's a little too much furniture for my taste, but I love the space.

It's beautiful if you like this style. Not for me though.

Love the space but not the furniture.

Grand? I'm inclined to call it ostentatious and theatrical.

@stevieb It looks very much like the hotel lobby where I visited on the Amalfi coast. Love it of course!

A place I would love to visit but if it were mine I would furnish it differently.

I like the space and chandelier but some of the furniture is too formal for me.

The foyer is nice but I don't like the furniture.

A bit too theatrical....especially that gold colored seating, dont like the sphere and too much furniture

i think it's very well done, if you like that sort of thing. feels like it must be a lobby in a hotel or restaurant, though.

That gold, round boudoir setee reminds me of a Golden Girls episode "Love Rose." When Rose's date, Isaac Newton, comes into the ladies bathroom at the party...

********************************

Isaac: I was wondering where the party got to.

Dorothy: Isaac, this is the ladies' room! This is where ladies go to the bathroom.

Isaac: [looking at a large sofa that resembles a toilet] Whoa, how do you lift this baby up? I guess you have to stand back when you flush this thing."

***********************************

Sorry, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw that photo. I have to stay off the Lifetime channel.

I do love the floor.
