show more of the room

Take it out it fools no one but we do need to see the space . Take pics of all 4 walls and post here in comments DO NOT start another post. We also need info as to what exactly you are changing

I would not want to include that picture mirror in your kitchen renovation. Can you find another place for the mirror.

I would remove it.

I've used mirror backsplash to bright dark kitchens and it looks great. I think that because yours has the little window panes that it doesn't work. You've lived there a while... do you like seeing behind you while you're at the sink? I placed a mirror in front of me while at my desk for the line of sight and a view out a window. Staring at a blank wall is not fun.

What's behind it?

Remove it.

Excuse all the mess .

So far we raised our sunken in living room. Knocked down a non load bearing wall. Got all the electrical done by an electrician. We are going to have an 10x5 feet island with a stove. Sink and dishwasher will remain. All new cabinets are coming and new painted walls (creamy white -shoji) .

Another vote to remove it. Looks very faux. Get a nice tile backsplash there that will be current and part of the whole reno look.

It looks like an interior room behind it? I assume a room where an open pass through wouldn't be OK. But if it's built into the wall, you could pull the mirror and make the niche something else- a light panel, slender sheving for display, other decorative action. The sill part as a place for your dish stuff. If you got enough depth, an herb garden with LED lighting. Since you say cabinets are coming, I'm going to guess you probably didn't order one for that spot.

Put the stove where the sink is currently so it can be properly vented and put the sink on the island.

I would remove it. Based on what you’re saying you chose to upgrade your kitchen, it will not add anything.

Pretty clever looking faux window, however, I would remove it. Finish you kitchen with that area blank. Live in it for a while, then see what it needs. You can always hang a mirror with a nice frame if .you miss the mirror. What is the other room behind the wall? What about a cut out in the wall with a plant hanging in it?

@hallet & co. We were planning to do that but I changed my mind. We have kids and I would love to face them while cooking to watch them or when they are sitting at the island.
