Hi Elpi. What a lovely room and you have an eye for detail. Immediately after seeing the first pic, I thought colour was what was missing. Then, when I saw your second pic, the beautiful and colourful artwork provided that missing element. So, are you wanting to replace the artwork with the mirror? If so, where will you hang the art? I'm wondering if it is possible to have both in the same room. May I ask why specifically you wanted the mirror in place of art?

What I notice is the mirror reflects the heat/air con unit and although the unit is functional, seeing it twice in the same room is not as visually pleasing as the artwork. Is there another wall where the mirror can be hung (in this room)? What are your thoughts about this?

Also, I wonder how your brass (?) objects on buffet would look ALL grouped together rather than spread out across buffet?

What a lovely room, loving the soft colours and furniture. I like mirrors just standing on side boards and floors as you have shown in your photo. Are you able to lower the pendant over the table, is it off set? From the photo it looks like your art work could be hung between the windows and parallel to the table. Would love to see some more angles of the room cheers

I think our posts crossed over

From the second photo I think you could move the side board and mirror across to the right, it looks a bit squashed into the corner at the moment. I would also take the ties off the curtains to keep them simple. The pendant does look like it could be lowered and moved across by adding a longer extension cord and using a cup hook in the ceiling, Ikea used to keep these. Sit someone at the table to check height, you don't want to be looking at it. The painting might look better lowered as well, check this when sitting at the table, by lowering it your eye will be drawn down from the AC lovely

Seeing other perspectives of room helps a lot. I see the mirror wouldn't fit properly on other wall. Agree with siriuskey to move buffet toward the doorway a bit so it's centered on wall. What a wonderful abundance of sunlight coming into the room-just lovely.

Elpi, what specifically did you wonder about 'not blending' - referring back to your original comment? Is it to do with buffet & mirror? Try repositioning the orchid away from the edge of buffet so it's more in front of the mirror, and group the other objects together and move them away from the other edge of buffet a little. Experiment and see if that addresses the blending issue you see.

I still think colour might help...the colours in the artwork would be where I would start. Maybe a wide elongated bowl or tray, in one of the colours, positioned in centre of buffet? Or an arrangement of more colourful flowers in vase in place of orchid. Orchid could go on table?

Or, see how it looks swapping positions of orchid and the other objects on buffet. It may be the colour of orchid is lost a bit so close to similar coloured drapes.

I love how the light reflects off that beautiful mirror and again at night it will look perfect in that position, could you try swapping the art works over to see how that works. You have a lovely room and love how the support beam has been done cheers

I think your other artwork has a silver frame and is tall rather than wide, which would look lovely off set to the left side on the wall with the AC, and I would look into dropping the pendant light and centering it over the table, this should then position the shade lower and in front of the AC and now blank wall space cheers

It is a beautiful room, but possibly your issue might be that the colour scheme doesn't flow through to the kitchen, rather than specifics about the room itself.

Hope you work it out!

Thanks, the Clipsal team

Hello Elpi,

I really love how you have chosen to display the mirror and artwork on the chosen walls. In regards to the buffet, I think you will find the space isn't blending nicely because it may be a little over crowded. If possible, I would see how it looks mounting the mirror to the wall, and changing to decorations with noticeably different heights. You could still use some of the items that you already have, but possibly opting for a few more that are shorter and rounder, as opposed to tall and skinny. A good place to start might be adding items that are similar colours to that of the artwork. I also, I think this would also help the dining room merge with the living room, which seems a lot softer and doesn't feature as many straight lines. Look for small, rounded coloured decorations, similar to the attached images as inspiration.

Good Luck!

Looks lovely Elpi!
