Buying Decorative Wall Mirrors...
A wall mirror is a timeless look and one that will complement your home whilst remaining beautiful for many years. Statement pieces make striking focal points in living spaces, while more minimalist options will slot into your existing interior easily. The right mirror on your wall can give the whole space a brand new life.
You will need to think about the following 4 things when buying a decorative wall mirror:
Shape
While square and rectangular options are usually the most common, you can find wall mirrors in a variety of shapes. It can create a mood, accentuate what is already there or give an illusion of something else.
Size
The size of the mirror should be influenced by a couple of factors. Size does matters because the size of your mirror can influence the impact you want to create. The selection of size should also be based on whether you want the mirror to be a focal point, an accent, or merely act as the background.
Style
When you're shopping for a mirror, however, you can also opt for a style with a frame that packs a decorative punch all its own. Choose a simple wooden, metal or plastic frame for a sleek, streamlined look. A more frame with simple lines or unusual materials is often more suitable for a casual or modern interior. For a more formal, dramatic look, seek out a mirror with an ornate, gilded frame to serve as a strong focal point for your room.
Colour
If you decide on a mirror with a decorative frame, choose an option in a colour that works with the rest of the room's decor. A basic black, white or wood tone frame can coordinate with virtually any decorating scheme. If you're choosing a wall mirror with a coloured frame, think about how the frame's colour plays against your wall shade and aim to create a contrast that draws attention to the mirror.
Mirrors are almost everywhere in each room of your home. You are more likely to have a mirror in a bathroom or bedroom. When aesthetics are more important than practicality you can choose any style. A large mirror hung adjacent to or opposite a window will reflect plenty of light around the room and create a sense of expansiveness, which is great for small or darker rooms. Since mirrors will only reflect what's in front of them, choose the wall with care. The reflection becomes a part of your room. The key is choosing the right mirror for your room and the look that you want to create.
