Mirror ....Mirror on the wall... wait is that too many?
I am in love with this mirror and would love the idea of putting four mirrors in this one wall ( just like in picture) but that will take almost all the wall space. Is 3 mirror up right better? This will be in my dinning area in an open concept floor plan. Is that ok?? Any thoughts??? I want it to look nice not “ what was she thinking!” When someone sees it. TIA.

Mirror too close to the wall for a sconce
Comments (9)We have the same situation as you. We have a 67 inch vanity that is fairly close to the doorway so we didn't really have space for a sconce on the side of the mirror. We consulted a bathroom lighting designer and he suggested placing the sconces (lugarno from Restoration Hardware), on top of the mirror and then place three cans in the ceiling across the vanity, thus light would come from different directions and help create more flattering light. We opted to not go with the cans, and, are just going with the sconces on the miror. We will also have a light fixture over the tub, and a can over the shower drain. For ambienece lighting we will have lighting in our linen cabinet and lighting underneath the freestanding vanity. Good luck!...See MoreHanging a wood framed mirror over a wall to wall bathroom mirror
Comments (33)ThatÂs what I was afraid of. I didnÂt want to put ideas in peopleÂs headsÂbut that is the reservation I have. I think having to use it on one side of the wall, asymmetrically, doesnÂt work. I was SO sure it would look great, and be really like the finishing touch in this room. Darn! The thickness, bulkiness, of it bothers me too, in that place. Too much mass. I thought, before I tried it, that it would balance the weight of the solid looking vanity. Instead it just makes it look like too much weight on the left side of the room and nothing on the right. Having to one side bothers me with the light fixture too, and I love that light. It doesnÂt show well in the photos, but is a stained glass repro I ordered from a craftsman lighting company, in a custom size. The mirror is discontinued, so I canÂt get another to balance it better. It doesnÂt look right centered on the big mirror either. Too odd when you are standing in front of the vanity. Sigh. I love this mirror. Buying this one when it went on clearance was what made me decide to have a craftsman bathroom in the first place! (Well, that and it opens off a craftsman family room.) I have one open wall on that room, where I used to have a framed picture. IÂll try propping it up there. The craftsman family room already has a mirror....See MoreHow Many Decorative Mirrors Are Too Many?
Comments (45)I tend to choose mirrors over art. I like the way they play with light in our little cottage and reflect the outside views. I can count art on one hand, but I can't the mirrors! Mustang, your wall reminds me of something we did in our daughter's room. I started with them different finishes, but I ended up painting them all the same shade of white. It bounced the light beautifully. (BTW, I love looking at pics but am scared to death when it comes to sharing. This has always been our "we'll only be here awhile" house, so I've decorated with whatever I can find for pennies instead of what I want. Read: hodgepodge!) In our living room I've actually lost track of how many different mirrors we've used for a little while then moved. That room has great morning light, and I just can't help but fill it with mirrors. This was taken before everything was in the room, but......See More? about complementing paint colors (mirror/red cabinet--too much

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoMy 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.

2 years agoTHANK YA’LL!! Been all been very helpful.I think I have every other wall covered right except this area. I was already debating the dining room chairs was going to change them hopefully keep same table( now I may want to change the whole thing that corner does look dark) I was going to change chairs only to something similar to this( picture attached). I was also see all the patterns /lines y’all mentioned my concerns was my backsplash didn‘t want to make a mistake. I was think this mirror would work based on my other art piece in living room and gold tone hardware....yikes now a bit more confused so much to consider.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoI just noticed something:
Is the birdcage on the table your usual centrepiece? Because, if so, you could make an arrangement of birdcage prints instead of the usual botanicals, framed in ways that compliment what else you are want to be in harmony. These prints themselves are near to your wall color, but you can bring in color and variety with the matting and frames

They come in more depictions.But if you would like something more striking, depending on your taste, these have merit if you are getting new chairs
