Choosing the right mirrors for the walls in your home can end up being harder than you thought. You may bring one home and feel like it just doesn’t work with the space. However, the right mirror can bring a new life to a drab space. At Indian River Furniture, we have extravagant mirrors to choose from, from modern/contemporary to casual to formal. But how do you choose one that will be perfect for your home? The most important things you should consider are shape, size, and style.
There are many shapes to choose from when picking out a mirror. Basic squares or rectangles will help give an orderly look inside your home. Long, horizontal mirrors help to accentuate, calling attention to its height as it sweeps your eyes along the vertical lines. Rounded or curved frames may provide a softer look, depending on the style of the frame. There are many whimsical shapes that will add flair to your room as well. You can even create your own by grouping several mirrors together on the wall for a gallery-type look.
Before choosing the size of your mirror, you will need to decide whether you would like the mirror to become a focal point, an accent, or just a background piece in the room. If you would prefer it to be a focal point, choose a large enough mirror that will stand out along with a unique frame. If you would rather the mirror become a part of the background, choose an extra-large mirror with a low-profile frame. This will make your space appear larger. For accents, use small mirrors to catch light and reflect objects here and there. Be considerate about the wall you choose for each size; a small mirror on a large wall can end up looking insignificant.
You can choose to add a mirror to the current style in your room or choose a whole new style that will accent the room in a whole new way. Ornate, carved frames will add contrast in a more modern setting. For casual interiors, frames with simple lines are often suitable. Distressed styles work great for country looks.
A carefully-picked mirror can make a space appear larger, create warmth, reflect lights, or even become a conversation piece!
