Colorful Striped Acrylic Wall Art fro Etsy

Kinda Dreamy Acrylic Sheet

Watkins suggests putting statement artwork on the opposite wall so the mirror will reflect it. She states, "I love stripes! The piece of art is big enough to hang out on its own on the wall opposite the buffet, and I like the long skinny shape. Incorporating all the colors in the rug and the colors on the wall, the shiny texture of the Plexiglas provides a little variety from all the wood in the room. Hang it in the center of the wall opposite the buffet with the top at about eye level."
