LibrarianTellsAll on Jan 26, 2015I'd move the mirror off-center, and hang a lot of small framed pictures as a gallery wall. You can even find lots of inexpensive, smaller-scale art in a coffee table book at a thrift store. But first, I'd cover that tile floor with a rug! I love a rug under the dining table. Just make sure it's large enough that the chairs all sit on the rug, even when they're pushed out.Helpful Reply

Rusty Sinn on Jan 26, 2015For the mirror wall, how about finding other mirrors of various sizes to add to the one you already have. You didn't ask about your table, but I would suggest using fewer larger items instead of a lot of little items. The table is really pretty, so you don't need much.Helpful Reply

Glamistahome on Jan 27, 2015Is there an option to add wallpaper on the particular wall or chair rail? It will add some structural interest to the wall. A pattered wallpaper will make a big impact and create a nice focal point. I would also change out the light fixture. The fan makes the ceiling look very low. Also, swap out the light bulbs for some that give out yellow light instead of white or blue. Yellow light will make the space more inviting and warm. I would also hang the mirror horizontally, not vertically. At last, another idea would be to create a big arrangement on the table that would make the table a focal point. I'd go with a vertical arrangement. :)Helpful Reply

Country Design Home on Jan 27, 2015Hi goodcoffee (love the name, BTW), the table looks great, especially with your mismatched collection of chairs and benches. So you need to create some visual interest on that back wall that matches the style of the dining set. Since you don't show the rest of the room, I am not sure what the color scheme would be. But that wall would look great painted in an accent color. Since the table is barnwood, how about creating a rustic vignette wall starting with an old 6 pane window? You can either leave it as glass or create light reflection by painting the glass with mirror paint. Then hang a rustic barnwood shelf under that-you could use some of the items you have on the table to stage it- and then hang some vintage photos or favorite pictures on the wall along side the window.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jan 27, 2015You won't need to add anything if you change the orientation of the mirror from vertical to horizontal. Then it will be similar in width to the table, and to the dark bench at the end of the table.Helpful Reply
