There is a wide range of styles and designs of are available nearly anywhere today, particularly online. Decorative wall mirrors will complement your existing home decor and affix a unique character to any design aesthetic.
Fundamentals:
First, you have to ask yourself, what is the style you are trying to achieve? For instance in a bathroom, the style of bathroom wall mirror, bathroom vanity and light fixture should all coordinate with each other. That doesn’t mean they have to match exactly though. Popular mirror styles include traditional or classic style, contemporary, and transitional mirrors such as full length.
Traditional style mirrors are considered to be ageless.
They often come with hand carvings and dark woods. If you like this style, look for rectangular and oval shaped mirrors. Contemporary style mirrors are more sleek and clean-lined with a minimalist feel. They often use dramatic stains, light woods, and brushed metals. If this is your style go for square, round, or frameless styles that extend beyond the edges of the vanity. Transitional style mirrors are those that carry a mix of established designs and modern influences. Styles involved here often come in all kinds of shapes from large wall mirrors to small groups of mirrors.
The next thing to consider is the size of mirror you want. Continuing with the bathroom design example, if you are working with a double sink vanity and a contemporary aesthetic, consider a large, frameless single mirror covering the length of the entire vanity.
For a classic aesthetic, try out two oval mirrors, one over each sink bowl. To add personality, you might even consider selecting two different mirrors to place over the individual bowls.
Some Additional Ideas:
Grouping: Group like mirrors into clusters to give a plain wall some character.
Try Interesting Mirror Surfaces: Mirrors that have designs sandblasted onto them can add interest and a unique quality to your room.
Custom Mirrors: If you have ideas you want to apply to your design theme, consider having a mirror custom-made for your design.
Combine Form and Function: Look for mirrors with a mix of both form and function. Large wall mirrors are great for creating an illusion of space and making a bold statement with an ornate frame.
Decorative wall mirrors placed throughout your home can create an amazing and unique living space. How a mirror functions in your decor relies on the decisions you make. Before you start shopping, make a budget and stick to it. Take your time shopping and you’ll be sure to find your perfect mirror and you won’t go over budget.
