mirror choice on dining room wall- HELP!
Comments (4)That's a lot of mirror...I think art of something else would be more interesting than just mirror. Can you mix them?...See MoreMirrors in dining rooms ...
Comments (83)Thanks for the additional thoughts! Patty, you are not a weirdo! I like your idea and would love to see a photo. I think we are satisfied with our current arrangement though, and the mirror really doesn't look too low when you see it in person. (My parents stopped by today and they really liked it hung there. I know they wouldn't have been so vociferous if they didn't think it looked right.) ;-) I have played around with items on the windowsill today and think I'll stick with these things for now: The plant (still want a better pot for it though), my long-legged iron bird, couple of favorite blue and white plates in the Asiatic Pheasant pattern, and a couple of pieces of complementary art pottery. I really like the mix of "finer" items with more rustic things, and that's what I'm trying to pull off in this space....See MoreIs this dining room mirror too small?
Comments (52)Read the entire thread again. You said: Room is too small to be a dining space. True. At least it is with that table Your health and happiness depend on using the table Okay, but what of the health and happiness of those who dine? It is claustrophobic. How does one even back up a chair? Hubby holding the mirror, barely can stand behind the chair, you can barely up on the long sides of the table . You asked if the" mirror is too small". The mirror is too small for almost any spot with the exception of a dressing table. Fact is, the only place you have room for ANYTHING is on the walls. You are determined to have art, which a mural can be. You have no window, nothing interesting on the wall. It is literally coming AT you, or a diner. You want a mirror? Fill the space. Don't worry that people can see themselves dining. It beats being stuffed into a space too small to breathe in, let alone eat. Visually enlarge the room. Go big or stay home as the saying goes CLUSTER! Five of these..........Yes, five!!!. Fill some serious space. You will end with a "mirror" that is 65.5 x 65. and the room will double visually. The chandelier will sparkle. https://www.antiquefarmhouse.com/gold-framed-window-pane-mirror.html Or ................Won.t have quite the same effect, but at least it has some bang. OTHERWISE? Hang the "man" where you are attempting the mirror, Leave the other three on their wall, with the landscape centered, and flanked by the ladies. Done. Nobody can help, because you want what you want, whatever that shall be. There you go....See MoreDining Room Mirror
Comments (5)I think your mirror would look nice on that wall ... that’s definitely the wall I’d want it on. It’ll give nice movement and dimension in the room, as well as reflect light. Good choice....See Moredrsaj
