Dining area wall

10 years ago

I purchased a mosaic round mirror but need something on each side. Any suggestions?

    Sure looks nice, but is it as wide as the chandelier is?

    It's a nice mirror, but way too small for your wall. Also, do you really want to see a reflection of your kitchen in the mirror?

    Seems too small, but-- maybe you have things already in your home that might make a large display? I have an ideabook named 'plates as art' ---

    please take photos from farther back - how many feet wide is that wall?

    Ideas? well I have time:

    Mirror is too small for this wall regardless of what is added. Find a new place for it like a powder room, or small foyer.

    the others wouldn't have to be as expensive as the center one ... walking by these though? in a dining area idk.

    The mirror looks smaller in the picture. It is actually 32in by 32 in

    It might be a good idea to share a photograph of a design from our portfolio. It shows a mirror flanked by two scones. Perhaps this will help your dilemma?

    Your room could be so much more with the right accents.

    The photo doesn't make the mirror look small, the mirror is small. Can you return it? Maybe the frame is more attractive in person, but IMO it has kind of a weak appearance. Also, by putting the mirror on the dining wall you are reflecting your kitchen cabinets...........not a good look.

    Consider adding a 4" shelf beneath the mirror. Move the to the left side of the shelf and add a framed picture resting on the right side of the shelf.

    No decision yet.

    Depends on what other items and styles, but an idea for a mix, to hang around it somehow / do people walk right by that wall?

    No one normally walks by that wall unless we have company and sit at the table

    drdeb might tell WHY it would be much more interesting.... can we talk....?

    Do you want to talk about art, everdebz?

    It very well might be, but what's wrong with groupings? Let's talk... canvas art is so easy to find at Home Goods etc.... but I was trying to work with what a person was interested in!!! mirror she liked.

    Well it seems the op wasn't so keen on the mirror by itself, and it's my opinion that putting a substantial piece of art instead would better than finding other things to just fill up the space.

    It's a grouping of interesting mirrors. I am curious what she'll find...and either way fine. Maybe she's at Home Goods right now!! :)

    For reference, this is what a large artwork will look like on that wall. I also think the mirror needs to be on a smaller wall, maybe the one on the left of the photo.

    Check out my artwork for ideas here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/shoagallery  Many colors and sizes to choose from.

    A picture is worth a lot! With one large piece, somehow your nice chairs 'show' better... :)
