More of the same, inlay, and, yes, to round.

STOOL- simple rectangular shape that supports the table as the star of the show, not steal the spotlight. Maybe a small light colored upholstered bench stool, or one with storage?

What size would you do?

Post a photo from further back of the whole wall. How tall is the table? What height are your ceilings? 15" is way too small.

They are 8 foot ceilings. Table is 29 inches high. Ahh I’m not sure if I have a further back photo besides this one below. It’s a small little nook like 32-33 inches. 30 inch table.

Cali I need you!

You can use a round mirror if the diameter is around 22-26" wide. It would need to be higher above the table with taller items on it to connect the table to the mirror since your table is fairly low.

Or you could use a rectangular mirror around 24-28" wide and taller so that it fills more of the space. I would look for a simple frame since your table is fairly delicate. This example shows the right proportions of the table and ceiling to the mirror.

Or look for a rectangular mirror with a shaped top, or other shaped mirror that echoes the geometric patterns in your table.

I would not use a stool there. Your table is not very deep, and a stool may look bulky and would likely not be used. If you're planning to put a small painting on the table (8x11 or so), a simple rectangular mirror would be best. I would look for a small horizontal painting to place on the right side with a small tray or bowl on the other side. If the painting is larger, you might be better off with the round mirror mounted higher, or put the art on the wall to the right of the table.

This is the type of instruction I need in my life lol. Thank you <3

I need the stool to be a catch-all for crap that will otherwise end up on the floor : /

Logistically the rectangular mirror makes more sense since I would use it to make sure I don’t look like a hot mess before stepping out of my house.

Stylistically the round shape is nicer (I personally think), except I am of the belief that if something looks inconvenient, it doesn’t good. For a round mirror to function well I’d probably really need a larger space (and mirror).

I think I’ll compromise by finding a rounded rectangular mirror. I’m very thankful for your middle picture because I would have otherwise picked an incorrect height mirror.

Although I do have a stupid doorbell box about 51 inches above my table so that’s an annoying limitation I noticed earlier today..

A stool doesn't make a good catch-all for stuff. What items are you thinking of? You can use a tray on the table for items like keys, sunglasses, gloves, etc. Maybe a different type of configuration makes more sense for function. Can you post of photo of the whole entryway from different angles? There may be a better way to make this function for you.

Suzy a basket is a good compromise!

I’m looking on Facebook market for some mirrors now : ). My budget is small since I blew most of it on Etsy paintings for my dining room lol

Cali hold on I look for better photo:

Here is the entry pre-console. It’s small. The house is small. It’s a cape from like 1940.

What about this guy? He’s 24 inches

I think a 24" square will have to be too high above the table to work, but you can put some tape or paper on the wall and then stand back to see what you think. If you're looking at Pottery Barn for about the same price these options might work. Avery bamboo or Eleanor large rectangle (bottom one in picture.)

I’m torn between the frameless beveled ones and a bronze frame now

I really like that Malina one. (Thinking about this now for my powder room with a 31 inch vanity). I also really liked the original round one you posted, Corinne, but I guess it was too big? I didn't see dimensions.

Nice and simple lines

ooh now I saw the dimensions---- and just started browsing other sites. How about this one? very similar to your original but I think better dimensions?Joss and Main Kinley accent mirror

I saw this one! I actually Like it very much but I read this article by Emily Henderson that picks on “faux distressEd” pieces and I was nervous that this fell into that category : (

what do you think?

currently torn between this and the malina mirror

Or this one from Lulu & Georgia. I like their aesthetic.

I like this size and shape but I’m not quite sure what a “rubberized” frame will look like. It seems to look good here though

Edit: damn the photo won’t upload

^ I just purchased this mirror- the free returns caught my attention. I will let you know how it works out!

You still think 12x8 is the only reasonable leaning artwork size ?

wait- which mirror did you purchase? (they are all really nice!).

This guy:

I am a brand team’s dream. this mirror came up as an Instagram ad and I went ahead and bought it lol. I have no idea what a “rubberized” frame will be like but I’m hoping maybe it will be add a nice and unusual texture to my mix.

Or it may just look ugly.

Did I show the rest of my living room for context?

Sorry for the darkness and Xmas decor. It seems I need to take better photos of my place.

***** HEY also one more question since I have this post already:

What size lamp should I be shooting for, if I wanted to place something on my entry table.

I figured I’d do a lamp, a key tray, and a small leaning painting.

Is the height of the lamps in the adjacent living room important?

Wait to get the mirror installed before you decide on the rest. Your table looks too shallow for a lamp, and you don't have an outlet there anyway. You can use a key tray and the oil painting on the table. You can decide on the painting size after you have the mirror hung.

I really love your comment-------I am a brand team’s dream. this mirror came up as an Instagram ad and I went ahead and bought it lol. I have no idea what a “rubberized” frame will be like but I’m hoping maybe it will be add a nice and unusual texture to my mix.

don't you love these suggestions? Effortless! and I think you don't need to worry about the height of the lamps in the other room. Really curious to see how the mirror looks with the console. I definitely like the round!

following

Salvona- I really do love the suggestions. Honestly I think they’re totally worth the unsettling awareness that I’m essentially being internet stalked by major corporations lol. I would literally let the owners of Wayfair film my life like The Truman Show if it meant they could cut down on my decision making anxiety even a little bit.

Cali- I’ve been telling that to myself all day. I have never regretted taking my time to purchase furniture but I always regret jumping the gun. Easier said than done though! Maybe in the meantime I can focus on finding that painting..

Actually to be total honest, I was wondering if it would be too cramped to have a lamp and a tray and a painting on the console. I was thinking it was too much, but when no one else questioned it I thought I was not seeing it properly. Again, it might all work fine. I know in my entryway, I have a cabinet with an oval mirror. On the cabinet, I have a vase with flowers and bowl for stuff. The bowl is not too deep - more like a tray but is pretty wide, so maybe the size of mine was coloring my opinion.

I didn't realize you don't have an outlet there either.

In any case, YES see how the mirror and console table fair on the wall and then go from there.

I was going to get a battery operated lamp which I only found out was a thing after googling “battery operated lamp” lol.

I do agree that it might look very crowded. And honestly, I’d prefer the useless painting over the lamp with a legitimate function lol.

I’d like a very shallow bowl that is basically a tray too. Gives you the best of both worlds imo. Still works but isn‘t as visually obstructive.

Well live and learn. Battery operated lamp.

Bless you and google!!!!

Honestly Google has opened up a world of options to me that I never thought possible. If you can dream it, somebody probably invented it.

Thank you for posting pics of the living room. The image is a bit dark. Could you post another during the daylight hours? What have you planned for wall art above the couch?

re: Rubberized Frame.... When I googled the term, many plastic framed glasses and safety goggles popped up as results. So, I think it is a plastic molded frame.

You might enjoy looking at these model homes to get an idea for your home- staging and accessories. Notice the use of plants in every home. They add color to the palette, which highlights the furnishings by adding texture & contrast. http://tours.stevenjamescollins.com

DK- Last year one of our cats ate my entire ASPCA approved pet-friendly palm plant. He ate little bits at a time so as to not raise suspicion.

When all was said and done, we had spent $5,000 in surgery & vet fees to have the contents of my plant removed from Hobbes’ lower intestines.

I love love love the look of real plants in any interior space. If I could, I’d fill up my entire house. Unfortunately I can’t risk endangering my babies again.

I don’t know what’s wrong with them lol. The other day my husband dragged a leaf in on the back of his work boots. It took less than 4 minutes for me to find Hobbes huddled in the corner having a little snack.

Hold on I’ll take a photo of my living room for ya

I'm glad your fur baby survived. Its likely your kitty is bored during the day -. A cat will eat anything out of sheer boredom.

This is the best I got for now. The husband playing video games is a permanent fixture.

Please ignore the cat toys strewn all over the floor. No amount of lecturing seems to motivate our little freeloaders to pick up after themselves.

Eventually I’ll be hanging these paintings above our couch. I paid about thirty million dollars to have them reframed so they won’t be ready until probably the end of the summer.

Of this were my space, I'd rearrange things....mount the Tv (or bigger) to the big wall and get a larger console to anchor it.; bring the couch opposite it, chair in the opposite corner. Bookcase- move to pther wall. You love the paintings, So, hang them around the tv, as seen here: https://www.younghouselove.com/tv-gallery-wall/

(I suppose long canvas drapes are out of the question, owing to the furry babies)

I actually do have linen drapes in my office that have managed to hold on so far. I’m having trouble visualizing the arrangement you mentioned. Maybe I have to draw it out? Do you think it’d afford more space?

At the moment, all attention (furniture direction) is focused to a small corner. If you broaden the perspective- a wider focus wall-, the room will feel bigger

If you need light for function by the entry table, get a better fixture for your ceiling. The issue with putting a lamp on that table isn't just the outlet, it is the depth of the table you have there.

DK that makes a lot of sense.

Alrhough I’m not as crazy about a gallery wall around my tv. I feel like that would sort of showcase the tv. Kind of like adding giant arrows pointing towards it, no?

I think you currently have the best arrangement for the room. I would just move the floor lamp on the left away from the sofa and closer to the tall bookcase and chair. The wall will look great with your new paintings.

Have you seen framed TVs? It can be a DIY project if you're so inclined.
