Help with triangular wall section
by
Lu Howard
I just purchased this round, beveled mirror off craigslist with the intention of repainting it to hang above our TV/bookcase in our living area. It is a triangular space with the stairway to the second level located behind the triangular-shaped wall space. (I also need to do something on the big wall on the far side of the staircase... next project!) The framing of the mirror is wood and I'm looking for idea for a new finish for the frame, as well as hanging/decorating ideas for space above the tv built-in.. The mirror is 28" diameter, overall, and the length of the top of built-in is 103". Thank you!!

If you want o change the look of your mirror from wood to another finish, Lowes Home Improvement sells spray paint of sorts that can make a finish look like stone. Are you planning on painting the white built-in? I would. It doesn't necessarily have to be the same color as all of your trim. I would remove the wind direction stand and put the mirror above that. You could even paint that wall a different color if you want it to be your focal point. I would also put up some pictures of family maybe or other art work going up your steps.I hope this helps.

It looks like you need a pop of color with all that white! What colors do you have in your room? If all beige, try a cranberry with some shading (dark was or overlay of color). Or pick your favorite color...a bright blue or creamy yellow...then add that color somewhere along that space. I noticed your object (a moose?) figure to the right of the stairs...this needs to be on top of the mantel for height. This is a lovely space!
