So I just bought a true floor mirror (the one I’ve been using the past 20 years actually belongs on a dresser). The problem is, I can help but feel this area is lacking… something. And I’m not sure what it is.
For reference, this is our bedroom. The doorway on the right leads out to the living room. It’s a smaller nook, but when empty looks very “unfinished”. All plants are real (if it matters).

I would put the plant on the floor and put the mirror on the wall so the height seems compatible and not opposite
Tiny plants/pots make it look cluttered imo. I agree with the other comment saying bring tall plant to the floor and hang mirror.

What about something like this?
It likely feels “off” because everything is sitting low and clustered to one side, so there’s no real structure or purpose, just a bit like a temporary plant corner rather than a finished entry spot.
Here I basically gave it a bit of structure: added a slim shelf to anchor the mirror, swapped the small rug for a runner to define the space, reduced and repositioned the plants, and added a warm wall light so it feels intentional and finished instead of empty.
I thought it was a short doorway. I think that’s why it feels off. I agree with hang the mirror or maybe put it on an angle in the corner and put the tall plant in a nice basket on the ground where the mirror is now.
