Which wall to put the mirror on?

[kronenbourg]

The smaller wall closest to the door or the larger wall with the radiator?

THANKS!

Bumping bump

The larger wall, I think.

One vote for each!

What are the dimensions of the mirror

Larger wall for me

90cm x 75cm

Traditionally you’d put it closer to the door.

Radiator wall

Also any ideas to make the place more homely would be much appreciated. Its a cold new build

Closer to the door to bounce the light around

Good idea!

I’d have it on the radiator wall, with a console table.

Near the door, from someone also in a new build! You want maximum light. Then something else on the other wall that reflects you/your interests. Like a film poster or a picture you like. But not cheesy word slogans.

By the door

Paint or wallpaper the walls to give some colour.

Shelf above the radiator. Pop on photo frame, candle, post vase etc.

Artwork above the radiator.

Patterned rug in the hallway.

*posy vase

I'd put it next to the door.

Radiator wall with a shelf or hall table. Hall table can then be gone to keys, pot plant and (if you live in my house) random crap.

Larger wall with radiator. A small painting/photograph on the small wall near the door. Putting the mirror next to the door makes sense BUT it will make the doorway look really heavy/busy/messy/crowded.

By the door, as it'll provide two functions; 1 to reflect light around the area, and 2 for people to check their reflection as they leave the house.

Closer to the door

It's a "second gen" new build so it has had a previous owner who painted the hallway purple! We have since re-painted it almond white to make the space lighter.

I think we will go for the mirror on the smaller wall - was swayed by the light reflecting! Also, we have a cupboard opposite that wall that stores our coats, so we can have a final look in the mirror as we leave the house.

There isn't enough room for a console table, the hallway is far too narrow.

Keep the ideas coming to make the place cosier! I will send pictures of how the place currently looks. Attached is part of our open plan kitchen/living room.
