If you like this style, then it is very pretty. But for me it is too ornate and too much furniture. I like Foyers that are nice and streamlined with only minimal furniture.

No.  Silly looking.

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.

@Caaareful Shopper  I remember that episode. Too funny. And yes, there was a very similar piece of furniture in that ladies room. Personally, were it me, I'd remove that piece from this foyer.

@stevieb . Lord!  Too many little things in this photo.  It almost makes me anxious looking at it.  Many little pictures, too many little chairs, many little decor items.  Not for me.  LM

I love it.

If you have the house that affords that much room for a foyer, why not fill it up with interesting furniture?

A foyer can be used for a 'quick' sitting room, instead of heading into the living room or other areas of the house.

With all the different seating areas, you can pick and choose--to sit on the couch or on chairs or wherever.

I'm not one to complain if my house had a semi-circular drive that would accomodate several cars and a valet?

Too much going on for my taste, and most of the furniture, fixtures are not my style at all..... do not like formal!

We're all different with different tastes. I have to admit, I like this foyer. I'd get rid of the round settee and, as @Witchy Woman said, the impractical granite ball. I'd probably make other tweaks too, but I do like the space and many of the decorative elements. To be sure, most of us would not have a foyer like this in our 'average' American homes...
