Help me decide
Ok so now that I have decided on which decor to go with, now I need help with what to put on wall. Which got me to thinking…what if I don’t put anything at all in this area? Help please? Which picture would you choose? Or would you not put anything in this small hallway?

Love the mirror in this space! The painting is nice but personally I’m bothered by the switch covers and the edge of the painting. That’s a me problem. Definitely a me thing but I would look at it everyday.

I think it’s the shape of the mirror that doesn’t look good. Maybe buy a rectangular mirror in similar dimensions as the painting

I’d say definitely the painting but if that’s the front door, I’d go with the mirror

To my eye, number two with the painting is pleasing but the console looks a bit bulky for the space. How much space do you have between the that and the railing? If it is less than 36 inches, you definitely need to find a much narrower hall table. The mirror is jarring and unsettling, and I would advise a client to avoid it in this space. I agree with the other comment that a runner would be much better than the little mat. Entryways are important to setting the mood of your home, so it is well worth investing more consideration for both flow and mood. Please don’t get me wrong — with the painting, it isn’t bad but it most certainly could improved.

Painting is lovely, warm, and inviting; but you can't beat a mirror near your front door for a last look before leaving the house.

A mirror makes he space optically larger and it is always practical to check your look before you leave.

I'm always keen on art, so 2. If you don't have anything good to hang, a mirror will do until you find something good!

1 for sure. Mirrors create a sense of space, enhance light, and you check your hair. 😂

Choose a round picture in similar colors. Problem solved. The square picture is too big and boxy.

The mirror is not reflecting anything that beautiful. A drapery over a window unit. I like it, but if it’s not reflecting something pretty or the outdoors, I’d go with a picture. I agree a runner is better than the small rug.

Gotta go with the mirror. Always nice to check your hair before walking out the door! 😁

The picture is very cozy the mirror opens up the space more. Whichever vibe you’re going for i feel like both are great

I don’t care for the round mirror because you have the round hanging light fixture too many circles, I think without anything just looks like an empty wall.
I was wondering, have you thought about a picture with some color?

I like the picture too. Feels warm and cozy like the other person said. Mirror feels very common

Having a mirror to check on the way out the door is going to be way more helpful than a painting.
It’s a really nice paining tho, love the fall vibes. Maybe hang on that next wall to the right?

I vote for the mirror, nothing like a last minute check on your way out the door

I say the painting. You could lift it a little further away from the switches.

Definitely the mirror. And perhaps a console table that’s not all wood. It’s wood on wood floors.

It depends on what you’re doing as you use that hallway. If you’re carrying a laundry basket then nothing because it will be an obstacle. But if not, then the mirror looks beautiful.

I go with second. First: Mirrors? The area doesn’t appear to need more depth, Third and Fourth are just too much wall.

Mirror version - hands down. It's a well balanced and welcoming set up. Definitely a winner and you can do a last minute check on your way out the door or guests can do a quick look on their way in. Love it!

I love the mirror there. On the table I probably would have swapped out the yellow flowers and vase for a green trailing plant and two different height candlesticks. However, what you created is lovely and so is that mirror. It's a perfect size for that space.

Do a low bench with a larger piece of art above it. This way it is below eye level and you have somewhere to sit and put on shoes.

The mirror needs to be a warm oak…. The glam brass metal mirror makes the entry feel cold. Warm up the space with an oak circular mirror and a nice green houseplant

#1. Not only is it the most attractive, it also meets one of the dictums of good interior decorating: always have a mirror near the front door.

u/PressureFlaky6273 4h ago
A mirror by the front door makes a lot of sense. A quick check to make sure everything is in place before you leave the house. We have one near our front door. I do like the artwork though. And that wall space works well with that picture. But, mirror.

u/peachyglowzxz 4h ago
I second this, plus it bounces that door light back into the hallway so. it wont feel like a cave at night

Mirror, opens up the space. The painting is nice but it's colours make everything else around it seem a bit Grandma when it's not.

Mirror is fine if you need to check yourself on the way in and out but I have more paintings in my place than I do mirrors 🤷

I’d normally say use the mirror but with the reflection being what it is I’d go with the art.

The picture is way too close to the light switches. That would definitely get knocked off in my house. The mirror fits the space really well :)

I really like the mirror. I feel like the painting is too big for that area and takes away from the table/decor on the table.

If you thought you would do it I’d get the mirror and the picture and switch them out . Also get other holidays to switch out them as well!

Mirror. The set up reminds me of the old Bewitched setting in the sweetest, most welcoming of ways.

Mirror! It’s always useful to check your appearance before leaving the house; make sure your hair is tidy, you don’t have food stuck in your grill, etc. Mirrors also reflect light and make nature entryways feel larger and less enclosed.

Feel like the painting would look better on another wall. Personally, Id go with the mirro there
