Decorative Wall MirrorsMirrors do not need to be hung on the wall. A floor mirror may work great in the corner of your bedroom that just doesn’t get enough light. Not only will it brighten the area and add to the décor, but it will also serve as a full-length dressing mirror. Of course, if you simply can not find what you are looking for, mirrors can be custom made. There are various sites on the Web where you can order exactly what you want. Some offer the services of a designer to assist you in developing the design that is just right for you. A mirror with a natural tin frame will work well with a southwestern, Spanish colonial or rustic decor. Try to find one that can be hung horizontally or vertically. That way, you can change your look without having to purchase something new. The hand-hammered copper frame on a simple mirror is a good selection for a mission style décor. The light from a matching copper lamp set on a nearby table will reflect beautifully from the mirror. Many Web sites offer coordinating tables (or consoles) with their mirrors. Fine art mirrors will reflect light as well as serve as an art object. A wall mirror with a cherry, maple or walnut frame and design will be a conversation piece that you can display proudly. These mirrors add depth and light to any room as well as enhance the décor creatively. An oak mirror with a shelf and wood pegs will be functional as well as decorative. The shelf will provide a place to put makeup and other items. Remember to hang your keys on one of the pegs so you don’t have to spend a half hour trying to find them when you are ready to leave! Another favorite is the oak mirror with brass coat hooks. These are wonderful in the foyer or wherever you need a convenient place to hang coats and jackets. It also provides a great way to teach small children to hang up their things when they arrive home. Contemporary mirrors come in many designs. If you have selected a celestial theme for the nursery, then a contemporary mirror with a quarter moon around the edge may be what you are looking for. These mirrors tend to have more of a modern look to them. The Victorian mirrors present a more traditional look. However, if you are looking for real historical value, then an antique dealer may be able to offer you what you want. Be sure that the dealer is someone who can validate that the mirror is truly an antique, not a reproduction. If you need to stay within a budget, then there are some handmade reproductions of antique Venetian style mirrors, delicately etched with highlighted, beveled edges, which are not as expensive and offer all of the charm of the antique mirrors. Along these same lines, mirrors that are made from windows recovered from homes, inns and churches built in the past-century blend a bit of history with your decor. Colored mirrors are another way to complement or contrast the color of your room. A blue or green colored mirror with a rustic, wooden frame can add something a little different to a room with the nautical look. Or, for your little girl’s room, a peach colored mirror can be hung to complement the bed linens. Mosaics are an ancient art form that can be used to frame mirrors. Are you shopping for a gift to buy for that special person? A mirror framed with mosaics may be just what you are searching for. If the recipient is an animal lover or gardener, they’ll love the colorful bird, parrot and floral designs that can be achieved with the use of mosaics. Whether you choose a traditional or contemporary style of mirror for your home or office, it is sure to enhance the décor and brighten the room! | ||||||||
