something like this but make sure the curtain also hides the side of the exposed wardrobe (your second picture) so your curtain rod should be L shaped. You should use heavy fabric that hides the wardrobe altogether instead of using sheers and should match this up with the same curtain material that you would be using for the windows in that room

Also for console ideas, there are thousands of ideas on Houzz just search for foyer or entryway console in photos and I am sure you will find something that you fancy. If you don't have enough space for a standalone console use a large Art piece for the side wall or a full-length mirror, which will reflect light and make your entryway look bigger and also which guest doesnt like to look at themselves, I do. :)

or this notice how the curtain wraps around the storage unit:

Hi Anindita,

You can actually give the foyer with wardrobe a somewhat mud room kind of look.

Add a closed shoe-rack right between the door and wardrobe (slim enough to accommodate opening main door and wardrobe door comfortably). Put a vase with paper flowers really bright colored(Orange or yellow) on the shoe-rack.

A Ottoman next to it (in bold print) and by a tall plant (like royal/lobster claw plant) on the open end (end facing the living room).

The wardrobe doors can be covered with quirky funky posters/decals of anything you like.. fav. rock bands..attitude quotes..wanderlust places..or just color blocking diy on paper. I think you can safely stick paper paintings/posters using two-way tape.

Something on the lines of.........

On the wall adjacent to wardrobe, add a really nice looking hanging hooks and hang a mix of hats, jhola bags & any quirky art or any hanging indoor planter.

Add a area rug (toward the living room) to give some definition and such that it would look all in place when viewed form inside the house.

P.S. The images for reference are sourced from different sites and copyright of the images lies with respective owners.

To brighten up the place and since the wardrobe is quite prominent, you can change the frame of the wardrobe to stained glass and then just leave that area free.
