What walls should I put mirrors on in the hallway and living room?

6 years ago

I am trying to finish off the details for the hallway and living rooms with regards to art, mirrors and photos to hang.

I am unsure where to hang the mirrors. I want to have a really large one, preferably a sheet glued or screwed to the wall.

Is it best to place on the opposite wall as you open the door and come in or

This is the wall I would like to hang the mirror on.

I have an eero sarinen tulip table in front and then a circular pendant light yet to be fitted. So my thoughts are to stay away from round mirrors.

Ideally, I wanted to cover the full wall but how can I work around the switches without removing them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Your photographs are lovely and very high quality. I would advise you to pick one favourite image in portrait format and have it made into a wall-mural. There are several companies that will use your own image to create a bespoke wallpaper, including Photowall and wallpaperink. Whichever firm you choose can make a bespoke, image that with fit the wall perfectly.

Pam Gascoyne Hi Tom, As the focal point of the room is quite definitely the fireplace perhaps you should start with making something welcoming and eyecatching be it with candles, fake but really convincing burning gas coals in the grate or even good lighting it needs to really glow. The room is not really huge and perhaps keeping the walls light with, say, a warm very light grey with similar colour linen curtains or white venetian blinds would lighten the whole room and white bookshelves would be really excellent. A rug is essential but keep it cool too like the John Lewis multi stripe grey/neutral. A print or prints are a good idea and with the neutral scheme you could have anything you liked and pick out a pop of colour from the artwork and add to the cushions. The mirror is definitely too big and too gold. If you want to keep it hang it landscape and tone it right down dry brushing silver leaf over the gold but it’s a good place for a striking piece of artwork you like. Good luck Tom and enjoy your new room when it’s finished.

A deep neutral colour rug to help bring the furniture together with a silver riveted metal coffee table and Tassimo (or similar) coffee machine. OrThis is a bit disjointed, I don't have decent soft-wear on my computer but you get the idea. Still a curve in the sofa for a cosy get together feel, solid colour designed chairs with metal and glass occasional table and a fluffy rug for that warm snuggly feeling under the toes.

Hi Robin, Lovely room - I love the wall colour and bookcase! How much of the bookcase does the leather sofa block? I used to have a sofa against a bookshelf and while I grew used to it it did annoy me a bit with the wasted/hard to access shelf space! You could rearrange the furniture in the room so that the leather sofa had its back to the radiator and the seating area was in more of an L-shape rather than with the sofas opposite each other, and then put a rug/layered rugs down (which always looks nice on floorboards, at least I think!). In terms of what to do above the fireplace - I like the idea of hanging a big artwork, or photographs, or you could hang a large mirror, or both a mirror and artwork!
