Hi Grace! I would love a reading corner in my home, what a dream! Were you looking for advice from others who have done something similar? It would help if you uploaded a photo of your hallway, so we can see what it looks like.

Hi Sofia. I would change the mirror to a longer one maybe with a more ornate painted frame to echo the lines and curves of the console. I'd also place a chunkier piece on the back left hand side of the console, with grouped accessories around it - like nice black tea light holders with metallic finish inside. I know you said you don't want to paint, but that area would be nice painted a different colour to the rest of the hall. It would really create a corner of interest. Maybe a soft stone, or if you really wanted to go for it a bright pop of colour.

Hello Robin, No need to remove anything just add a huge mirror on the right hand wall with some height as I suggested earlier in the thread, then you will get a border reflected and also the arch! It is quite important to work with what you have, and you can cleverly with the oversized mirror! eBay have a shop for them! Once you paint frame to match the walls you will see how useful it could be. Possibly 8ft by 8ft as high as you can go to get the arch in! It's what I would do.. :))

How about a small circular table with a statement ceramic piece on it?
