We had the choice between two condos, one was flipped-reno'd, the other hadn't been touched in 20 years. Neither were interior condos but they faced the sun slightly differently. The flipped condo had lots of mirrors installed everywhere. It never occurred to me they were manipulating the light on purpose, but now that I think about it, perhaps so. I can say the mirrors were off-setting to me because it did seem like old-style, even if it'd just been renovated. We went with the never-renovated unit that had the problem of so much light, the circa 80s yellow walls and yellow oak floor made the place seem on fire every afternoon.. unbearably too much sunlight. I guess you pick your battles! Since you have yet to buy this condo, my advice it to see if you can go over there and spend a long chunk of time, to see how the sun affects the place as it moves over the hours during the day.

What will the mirrors reflect? Will they double something beautiful or interesting? If not, then ditch that idea and just get some new canvases to change the ambiance. I always opt for art rather than mirrors, especially in dining rooms.

My reaction to your favorite mirror is that you want to place it in the same visual field as your quatrefoil-pattern backsplash and quatrefoil-pattern window sheers — but the mirror itself is actually not quatrefoil, but ”almost” like it, so it could end up up looking mistaken or “make-do”. I think it could be lots of fun to stick with a quatrefoil design for that spot, to carry it right across the joined spaces. Quatrefoil mirrors are very easy to find. Do a search on Houzz in Shop for “quatrefoil mirrors” and you will see they come in all sizes and finishes and prices. You could have one big one or hang a 4-square of smaller ones, or maybe 5 in a line... I might even go with this My other reaction is that your dark wood slat-backed chairs won’t look nice with your favorite mirror or even a quatrefoil mirror. Dropping simple neutral linen-like slipcovers over the backs of the chairs, keeping your dark bench and dark table, could look quite handsome. Or these chairs are inexpensive — and they have a quatrefoil design! Some people are utterly oppossed to repeating patterns in a fun deliberate way, and some of the warnings are worth heeding. Sometimes it can make for a great result, though, especially if you really love a particular pattern (i like grids). I particularly couldn’t live with generic art that I hung like wallpaper just to fill up space. What’s on the walls has to mean something to me. (For instance, I associate quatrefoil designs with Venice, Italy, so I might hang an artwork of Venice that appealed to me) If you end up thinking you’d like some off-the-shelf artwork up there, maybe something in multiple panels would be better than one big rectangle. Anyway, up to you! Stick with your favorites.
