I have 38 inches from the top of my mirror to the ceiling. I would like to hand a mirror over the buffet, but I am not sure how big a mirror I should purchase and how high off the buffet I should hang the mirror taking into consideration the frame? Would an oval mirror look okay or should I stick with a rectangular mirror? Thanks for your help rose My buffet is 56 inches high and 72 inches long.

Pick a complementary spot just up the wall there. See, how the plant and light fixture balances it. Plus often ladies would love to grab a peek at how they are looking all over(body wise) during a gathering. This will leave a clean look across your buffet top. Look at what is in your picture....

(I love the color of the wall, BTW). I think you should hang it low... So not to see the face or shoulders. Gives it more of an "off the wall" look. Also, thanks for the comforter idea (months ago). It worked. Take care! You have probably hung your mirror by now... (I love the color of the wall, BTW). I think you should hang it low... So not to see the face or shoulders.

We cannot seem to find a long enough stretch of time where we're both in the house to agree on height. I was really asking the question to find out if there were guidelines to follow.

I'm sure you can figure out the differences in scale and for other references (sitting, standing,etc) just take another photograph. I hope this is as easy as it sounds to me.

This way, when seated at the table, you and your guests will be at the appropriate height for looking at the mirror or artwork in that room.

If you start too high, you will need to patch and paint each time you lower it.

Hang at 69 inches max to the top so you can see your head when seated. This will put the bottom at 3'-9". Adjust a few inches lower, depending on your chairs so you can see reflections when dining.

It sits exactly halfway between the top of the buffet and the bottom of the crown molding. It looks very nice there. Something to consider...

Do you have spackle and more orange paint? If so, move the hook around until you like where the mirror is and fill in and paint the other holes :-) Just a thought.
