Mirrors have long been used by homeowners and interior designers to add light to a room, to make a space feel bigger, and to capture the functional benefits as well as the design highlights of a space. Over mantle mirrors offer all of this and more, set atop a feature in your home which already draws the eye and effortlessly combines practical function with design flair and style. Read more…
The mantlepiece in a home, be it in a living space, bedroom, or open plan area, lends itself to decorative accessories – providing a showcase surface on which to mount a variety of items.
Installing a mirror on the wall above the mantle infuses the surrounding space with additional light at eye level. What’s more, it has the added practical benefit of presenting a reflective surface at the right height to check ones appearance throughout the day!
Of course, the frame that you choose for your over mantle mirror has a huge impact on its overall presentation and the way it suits the space – with rounded edges helping to soften the room while ornate and decorative frames infuse a traditional vibe into your home.
And if you’re really looking for something different, why not layer different mirrors to present a unique and contemporary finish!
