Wall Mirrors

Ideas for choosing the right wall mirrors for your unique style
Decorative wall mirrors can really add style to your room. You want to choose a mirror that reflects the style of your home and fits proportionally within your space. Look carefully at the materials of the frame to help determine what might work for your decor, paint colors and general design sense. Natural wood frames are perfect for rustic, transitional, traditional, and eclectic styles. Metal frames with decorative details are a classic look that is ideal for traditional and transitional design. Alternatively, modern and contemporary mirrors might have minimal or no frames as well as unique materials and sleek lines.

If you have a long wall or buffet in your dining room, you can anchor the space with a big mirror, especially a horizontal rectangular shape. If you are looking for bedroom mirrors, consider incorporating a giant mirror that will add style and help you get dressed in the morning.

What to look for in the best wall mirrors
The best wall mirrors have distinct frames, with particular attention to materials and details of the frame’s style. Look for antique gold, antique bronze, brushed nickel, and industrial wood incorporated into the frame’s design. If you have a wall painted in a deep color - think a dark gray or slate blue - you can bring some high contrast into your room by installing a white wall mirror. Or if you have white baseboard, the mirror will begin to feel like an architectural element rather than a decorative item. Overall, a large mirror in any room is a good way of bringing style and decoration into the home.
