Dining rooms can be a little intimidating to decorate as they’re probably the most formal room in a house. You want the room’s vibe to be elegant but not cold and unapproachable. Maybe you’ve got the set of chairs and table, but the decor isn’t working. Instead of a hug painting, why not add a mirror?

Mirrors are perfect for dining rooms, not only are they a classic design choice, they can really add to the overall ambience of a room. Whether you have candles on the table or hanging lamps, the mood lighting will be reflected in the mirror, creating a cozy perfectly lit space.

In terms of sizing, you can either go for a larger mirror, or you could try a gallery wall of smaller mirrors, which is a great way to fill up a large empty wall, and also a wonderful conversation starter. Having interesting interior design choices can really keep the conversation flowing in a dining room. With dining room decor, keep it simple and classic, no need for fancy modern abstract paintings that you’ll hate in another five years after purchasing it (Susan why did you buy that bright red blob?), just add a mirror and your guests will think you have a classic design sense.
