Well since you asked.
Proper height for dining room mirror.
Mirrors above toilets or near furniture not above furniture should abide by the same rule.
If the height of your furniture is below 35 inches then an eight to 12 inch space is ideal.
Focus on size shape and the.
The second companion picture is on a wall that has nothing else on it or under it.
Mirrors reflect light and make a room feel larger and when hung above furniture they act as stunning yet simple wall decor.
Hang your dining room mirror on the wall nearest to your table to give the room a brighter more open look and feel.
Like all mirrors in the house you should hang it at eye level.
For a rough idea count on hanging your mirror approximately 57 to 65 inches off the floor.
I like mirrors in any room of the house for the reason you mentioned it bounces light around the room.
One is above a 33 buffet which i placed it 10 inches above and it looks great.
Mirrors placed above headboards and couches require a 5 to 10 inch gap between the mirror and the item.
I also placed it at the same height as the picture above the buffet.
I just hung 2 pictures in my dining room.
The ideal space between a mirror and the furniture below it is six to eight inches if your furniture is approximately 35 inches high.
I do have a question though on hanging pictures.
I miss not having a proper dining room pantry laundryoom but am grateful for what i do have.
