Focal Point Mirror

wilma — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 19:10:56 GMT

Do you like this mirror as the focal point of this room?

I don't like this mirror at all. I dislike the overall shape & smaller circular shapes in it. I’d prefer a simpler tall rectangular mirror.

I’m not really crazy about how this room was furnished or decorated. I don’t mind the colors, but I don’t like the pattern on the chairs. I think the rug pattern would look better on pillows. I don’t think I would put a cabinet with drawers (like the one to the left of the fireplace) in this room.

I generally don't care for mirrors as decor as they SHOULD reflect something pleasant, interesting or beautiful but usually are placed so they reflect the ceiling or a heating vent. This one reflects nothing so has no function and to my eye, is an unpleasant shape to boot

I don't like it either. It feels really random and well, it's kind of ugly.

@wilma Eeek! The whole room is a horror show! Don't like mirrors as decoration and that rug is awful! I won't even start on the furniture LOL!

No, I don't like that mirror at all, but I really dislike the rug, it gives me the creeps for some reason, and I don't like the chairs either......I think this room needs a do-over for sure!

I really don't care for the mirror. They were probably looking for an item that was proportional to the space.

I don't like the colors or furnishings of the space.

The room is put together well, I just don't like the elements.

No, I don't care for the mirror as the focal point and actually, I don't really like the mirror very much. I do, however, find most of the other elements different, interesting and appealing and think this is a somewhat attractive and interesting room that certainly avoids a cookie cutter aesthetic.

The architecture of this room is awkward to my eye. The mirror doesn't appeal to me a lot, but it is a reasonable choice for that vertical expanse of wall. And it's not the most obfjectionable thing in that room, because rug! Oh, lordy, that rug! Stripes facing the wrong direction and colors don't complement the flowered upholstery. Or maybe it's too hot today and I just can't see the appeal. I need a room decorated with ice colors. Or just ice!

A plain rectangular mirror hung lower would be my choice.

I kind of like the rest of the room. I would prefer the chairs be a very pale aqua or cream. The rug is fine for me.

I actually don't mind it. Mirrors are used for a lot of reasons; sometimes just to reflect light. I don't love it, but neither do I hate it.

Agreed, @wilma , don't like the mirror. The architecture of the room feels very unbalanced to me, and I think that's throwing me off...

I don't care for the mirror at all. In fact, I really don't care for the room either.

To me, that mirror looks out of place where it is. I don't think I would like it being the first thing one sees. It confuses me. Of course, these days that's not hard to do!!!

@wilma I think that mirror fits perfectly in the room and the decor. You know, the more I look at this room, the more I like it. I'm not going to try to replicate it, but it's okay.

I like the fireplace and the bones of the room...BUT I do NOT like the mirror nor the rug...and I have a problem with the patterned chairs too......I think a solid color would be better..... And @wilma I agree that chest of drawers next to the fireplace has got to go, takes away from the fireplace, looks odd.....

Oh my, no. Don't like the mirror, rug and the two chairs. Otherwise I like the room.

Regarding the fireplace, I think they were trying to remedy the off-center placement on the wall.

Hate the mirror and I agree with everything you said about the room!

Are we sure that's a mirror? The reflection is off-color of the ivory colored walls.

Seems more like, perhaps, a silk screen or the like, that plays off the rug color, chair upholstery and couch pillows. All of which I like.

I just don't like the room itself. The bare windows, the fireplace, the inset shelving, the upper hall and railing.

I'd keep the furniture and ditch the house.
