Sonia's Bedroom Part II- the Night Stands

Today's post is a continuation of this one- for Sonia's bedroom- where she asked: "What do I do with the empty wall spaces above the nightstands?"

What would I do? I would add a decorative mirror above each. I feel like different art would compete too much with your horses. Mirrors will not.

Remember to have a little overlap with your lamp shade- don't hang them entirely over the shade.

These mirrors (from Uttermost) range from between 18 and 21 inches square. Anything in there would be a good size.

You could also do four mirrors- with two on either side- like the way the art is hung below. You just want to make sure that you are well below the top of the horse picture- so I would measure it and draw it out before purchasing.

Also- check out this post on decorating the night stand. One thing that would be good to add to yours is a vase of sticks or pussy willows or something like the arrangement below. Add them on the left- away from your plant.

See the pictures above the lamps below? See how they just barely hit the top of the lamp shade? I think they are hung too high. Make sure your mirrors are below your shade by about four inches.

Adding the mirrors will give more balance to your wall, which right now is a little too high centered. You will really like the feel of the addition. Thanks to House Beautiful and Veranda for the photos.

Those mirrors look great! This is great in adding colors to the wall so the wall won't look so dull.
