i want to hang mirror in my entryway. My runner is colorful and there is a bench opposite the wall where mirror will go. Appreciate any color suggestions. Was planning to use spray paint.

last yearSorry, but that small mirror is not going to work with the scale of your architecture. I would recommend a large wall mirror with a minimal black metal frame for this area.

Help With Hanging Entry Mirror and Entry Table Arrangement
Comments (10)I think you need to decide if the mirror is for primping, or just for a design statement. If you look at many foyer pix, including a couple here, the mirror is practically covered up by a larger floral arrangement directly in front of it. It is not about checking your lipstick. The reason I mention it is because I think the mirror needs to hang on the lower 2/3 of the wall space between the light and the tabletop - and likely that will make it a bit low for some people to use for grooming purposes. I think the box is nice, and can certainly sit in front of the mirror a bit. I think the floral piece is way too casual and rustic for the other pieces in the group, and also disappears as the color of the vase is almost identical (at least in the pix) to the color of the table. I would rather see you find an interesting pair of antique brass or black iron urns to place on either side of the mirror, and fill with taller greenery and branches to add volume on either side of the mirror. The paired urns would also add a more formal feel there. Consider adding a decorative mirror hanger and cording to give the mirror more vertical presence....See MoreColor(s) to Paint Interior of Entrance Door
Comments (19)Blueberry blue or a dark red would be my picks for the outside, although a spinach green or dusky purple would look good too -- your brick is a good shade that will go with lots. Indoors I think all white w/ white trim (a white that matches your cabinets) would be fine, especially since your trim and stair are white also; but I think that I would rather try to match the wall. Using an enamel (gloss or semi-gloss) will change it enough from the wall to give it interest without being obviously different. If I didn't like it after a few months, I would repaint. It only takes an hour to paint a door....See MoreNeed decor, paint color advice for garage entryway
Comments (9)I think if you leave the angled ceiling white, painting the walls darker won't matter as much. You could also add a piece of vertical trim somewhere to the left of the hanging textile and stop the new paint there. Maybe at the bottom of the stairs that continue to the left? Hard to say without seeing it. What about something like this for lighting? I was looking for something with 3 bulbs and a clear shade. These are both Kichler: I think they now make LED Edison bulbs, too....See Morewhat paint color for outside entry
