If you only plan to paint part of the wall, leave it the same color as the rest of the space.

I love the mirror - great find! If the apartment is small, it is best to have all of the walls one color - this will give you a feeling of a larger, more open space. Would love to see a pic once you hang the mirror.

I am agreeing with the comments, thank you. If I can ask another question, it occurs to me that there is no overhead light in the living area. i have a couple of lamps, but wonder if a light fixture, chandelier or otherwise would give the room more light. I don't want to make the room appear smaller either. Thoughts?

If it's possible, I would recommend adding 4-6 pot lights (depending on the overall room size) and have them connected to a dimmer switch. It looks like you have two nice windows that potentially bring in good light. If your ceilings are the standard 8-9ft a chandelier could get in the way and minimize your walking space.

Sorry, as I know this was not part of your post, but I am worried about the mirror being large enough for over the couch. It should be 2/3 to 3/4 of the space it is over.....does that make sense? I have no idea what is next to the couch, but there is some art there that looks like a perfect size and color. Could the mirror go where the art is instead? Not even sure, but wanted to mention it.

I agree with the suggestions to keep the walls all one color. Too often accent walls become accident walls, and that is not good! You have a nice neutral place and little pops of color, which I love.

Yes, the art is a possibility to place over the sofa as the mirror width at the top of the mirror is the same exact width as the art- the photo is deceiving making the mirror look smaller than it is, but I will try both out and get your opinion. I had that art over the sofa at the other apartment before I had purchased the mirror. I appreciate the suggestion!! Did you have any thought about whether or not to add a flush ceiling light or some kind of light fixture to the ceiling as posted above? It is a rental so I won't be adding can lights or any other change in the construction. There is a cover over what appears to be an electrical wiring for a light fixture or a ceiling fan, I am just not sure why neither were installed.

If the wiring is already there for you....wow! Choose something that you know you would love whenever you move. Think about the color of other items already in the room and stay with that, too.....meaning if you have, say, oil rubbed bronze, get that again. I like a drum shade on a little hanging rod....that is pretty vague and I do not know how to post pics, so hope it makes sense. Flush ceiling lights are just now special....to me....and I think you would want something more dramatic anyway. I just walked through the light department at Menard's yesterday and such a selection a great prices, too.

Where did you get your sofa?
