Something seems off

13 years ago

I just purchased this antique dresser for my foyer. I pulled most of the items from other areas and bought a new lamp. But something still feels off in the vignette. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would pull the dresser ouf of the corner, center the mirror over it. Put the candle sticks to the right of the vase and move the vase to the left of the candle's. Love your choices.

center the dresser. having candlesticks and a lamp seems redundant. if the tray is needed, lose the little piece behind it. very pretty dresser and mirror. nice mix of styles.

Yes. Would have suggested exactly the same as Keusadilla.The dresser must be centered with the mirror.

Center the mirror and the rest looks good, The lamp could be painted silver which really would help.

Thanks for your input. I centred the dresser over the tiled area in the foyer. Hardwood flooring begins just to the side of where it is now opening into the great room. Hubby said the mirror needs to be in the middle too so that may help.

The cat clock is interesting in the foyer!
