Floor mirror or mirrored console

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I changed my living room around and purchased new furniture. I have a floor mirror facing my sofa and I’m thinking of maybe removing the floor mirror and place a mirror console of some sort there and a big wall art above it.

I purchased two nightstands from hayneedle and I moved it to the area that I want to put the console to get a better illusion of how it would look, I put the wall art above it. The mirror is very heavy so I can’t move it around multiple times. So, I just put everything in front of it.

Do you like it with the console and art work or the mirror?

I was thinking of putting the mirror between the sofa and the table on that blank wall.

Please ignore the table, that will be replaced.

I’m also looking for a rug, but I don’t have one yet.

Also, I think a square table would like nicer.

This is how I have it now


This is wanr I’m thinking of




Empty wall where I would put the wall mirror of i changed area.


This sofa faces the floor mirror, not sure where to put the art work too. That’s another delimna


Its a great room, not to many option

    Do you mean it should be near the seat of the chair?
  • 7 years ago

    Yes, Sweets, near the seat of the chair. I misread Flo's comment, too. Try to make it look like the rendering from Feb. 10.

    Probably needs to be about 20" above floor, which would put it just above chair seat height.

    My chair height is 32 inches

    Okay thanks it will be going up today for sure.

    Not the total chair height. ONLY THE SEAT HEIGHT. TRY 20” from bottom of art frame to floor.

    I think the wall art may be to far to let and my space mar be to closed in.

    The console/art solution makes sense. Who wants to sit on the sofa looking at themself?

    I dropped it down a little and moved it over to the right more

    Coming in late to this thread so haven't read everything, but the room looks nice- glamorous actually! And, again, perhaps answered elsewhere, but is this a more formal sitting area in you home? You have another space for lounging/TV watching? Wasn't sure since this is just off the kitchen.

    Following and love how this is coming together. The art, gallery wall and rug made all the difference in the world here Sweets. I actually like that you have removed the silver cylinder table from between the chairs. Could you place it in the corner with a nice fern on it to add some organic greenery to the space? I would also like to see that white vessel that is on the floor next to the nesting tables on your sofa table instead of the blue vase. It's profile seems to fit the sofa table better, maybe...?

    Need more pictures taken from straight on big art (looks 1-2” too high still). Chairs are too close to coffee table? Make a “V” with the chairs and put the round silver table in the “V”.

    Sorry been having problems with Houzz pictures posting. Takes forever and when I back out, it sometimes posts without the notice and its just a frustrating mess.

    Don’t know why Houzz can’t fix this picture posting mess. Sorry. Just can’t get pics and comments to post. Trying this for the third time.

    Those posts did not show as “posted.” I just deleted the app and reloaded it. Driving me batty.
  • 7 years ago
    We’re you able to see my post?
    We’re you posting pictures too?
  • 7 years ago

    haha Grover!

    I was just playing with you Flo! I had the same problem yesterday. And a couple other times recently Drives me nuts and then I look like a crazy person when they finally all post.

    Yesterday I figured out after I hit submit and Houzz stalls out, to just hit Refresh instead of trying again. And then I saw it actually did post but wasn't refreshing itself.


    !! But first select all and copy just in case! lol

    Annnnnd I see it is happening still today!


    It's not just the app, I'm on my desktop and it's doing it. I stopped using the app a long time ago. Can't remember why exactly but generally bc it sucked haha

    Him everyone

    Are these pillows nice on these chairs or do I need to remove them and keep the gray pillows?

    I also put the tin in the corner, so i need to put it back?

    Also, will it look out of place to put a desk in that pushed in area next to me door? Or maybe some type of low chest with drawers ?
  • 7 years ago
    Though they’re a pretty color, they seem to take up so much room on the chair. They look too large.
  • 7 years ago
    Thank you, that’s what I was wondering too.

    Yes. The pillows are a bit too big and boudoir looking for this space. Small lumbars would be best. Can you please slide the table back some and snuggle chairs closer to silver round table on angle? Kind of like this. Get front legs of chairs on rug. The big art could still be slightly lower. Is there a plug or something stopping this from hanging lower?

    Sweetshome. I was just scrolling back and you have come a long way with this space. Well done!! Keep tweaking. A small desk in that little spot where the wall juts out might work, but my instincts say it would be too much and distracting. The eye needs places to rest.
  • 7 years ago
    I see the lumbar, he’s that would look nice.. I have a lumber on the sofa but it’s one of those furry ones. I’ll looks for one similar to Grover .
    I agree, should probably leave that space empty or put something lighter there?
    I will also move the sofas back some and make the place look wider.
  • 7 years ago
    The room is looking so pretty! Modern glam with a serene feel to it. I wouldn't do any pillows on the chairs. I like them just clean. Sofa has enough for my eye.
  • 7 years ago
    Okay, so I lowered the larger art work.
    I tried to put the table in between the two chairs and place the chairs at an angle. I removed the big round pillow and placed it on the sofa and out the two lumbar pillows on the chair.

    Should i get rid of the two round pink pillows all together and place my lumbar back how I had the sofa originally?

    I have two blank walls facing the chairs, left wall and right wall. Should I leave those corners and plain walls the way that it is? I think Grover mentioned a plant in the corner.

    Next past will be the dining area and family room

    I think I’m almost finished in this area...
  • 7 years ago
    Flo, should I leave that wall near me door blank and not put anything there?

    Yes you have enough on the walls. Those pillows on the chairs are too big for the chairs. I would return the round pink ones. Just don’t think they work. Perhaps an upright palm might be nice in corner behind chair on right as you face chairs. Needs to be about 2/3 height of art. Probably 4’ high? Everything is looking so beautiful! Congratulations!

    Late to this thread, but we've just launched a new category of mirror at REFLIKO. Could interest you. :) We're working to become a HOUZZ merchant soon!
