Home Decorating Design Dilemma Dining Room

Mirror Size for Hallway

2 years ago

I have a wall that is 49.25 inches x 10 ft. I want to place a large round mirror that will look into dining room. Is a 48" mirror too big? Here is the wall with red circle. You will also see the room that will look into. There is a hallway between mirror and dining room. Do you think the 48" will look too big? My concern with something sammler is that it will look too small on wall that has 10 ft?

As with anything you hang on the wall, there needs to be some wall showing around the perimeter of the piece. IMO a 48" rd. mirror is too large for that wall, and unless that wall is adjacent to the foyer I would question why even place a mirror on that wall. Is it going to reflect something interesting?

Wall art or decor might be a better direction.

The mirror would reflect a 72" long art that is between the sconces BeverlyFLADeziner. Thanks for feedback
