Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Desert Lily — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 16:32:28 GMT

I recently bought a white-framed mirror that leans against the wall in my bedroom. My other decorative wall mirrors give a limited view, & the ones above my bathroom sinks are floating ovals. There is a plethora of mirrors to choose from. This is what I saw today from Restoration Hardware and Anthropologie.

#4 Lace Printed Mirror

#5 Helios Mirror

#6 Coquille Mirror

#7 Foglia Mirror

#9 Modernist Mirror

#10 Penny Ombre Capiz Mirror

#11 Peacock Floor Mirror

#12 Handcarved Menagerie Mirror

#15 Tonya Inlay Mirror

#16 Margot Floor Mirror

#17 Judarn Floor Mirror

#18 Imagined World Mirror

#21 Louis Philippe Gilt Leaner Mirror

All so very pretty! If I didn't have my grandmother's big glass vanity, I'd love the look of one of those big floor mirrors!

My fave is this one:

Mirrors can be very pretty and add sparkle to a room, in addition to making it appear larger.

However care must be taken in hanging them to assure that they reflect a pleasant view. Too often people hand them over fireplaces so that the reflect nothing but an unattractive ceiling. I'd rather see a bare wall. They can easily be an asset or a liability.

@ECBG That's one of my favorites too!

@Kachina624In my last house, the mover hung a mirror too high on the wall so it barely showed my neck & head. (I'm 5'4"). I'd also say that if a heavy mirror is going to hang on the wall, be sure to use anchors when hanging it.

There are so many beautiful mirrors & frames. I think the patterned glass mirrors are so pretty when used for home decor (& not for checking your outfit or makeup LOL.)

@Desert Lily

Years ago I was at a Rug and Home just looking around. There was the prettiest large rectangle gold mirror with 3-D slightly life size cherub heads and wings. Stunning.

I like #16. I would use it as a mirror on a bedroom door leading to the hall.

I have 11 decorative mirrors in my house and my medicine cabinet in one of the bathrooms has a triple mirror in the medicine cabinet well lighted above which is really helpful for checking face and hair.

The mirrors I use for checking head to toe are mirrored closet doors.

There are some very unique mirrors posted here.

@Desert Lily Oh my! Seeing this collection of gorgeous mirrors (and frames) makes me wish I had more rooms, and thus walls, for more mirrors. The only other home decor item that I find as appealing as mirrors would be lamps.

Maybe that could be your next assignment here... (j/k)

1,2 and 3 are gorgeous.

I love mirrors. The reflective qualities and just the light airiness that they provide and of course it's an added bonus when they reflect a beautiful scene.

I have more mirrors than pictures because I find I don't tire of them like I can sometimes tire of pictures.

These are so pretty!

I especially love the Foglia, Capiz, and Menagerie mirrors.

Thank you for posting...

Also this made me think of an inspiration picture in my pinterest.

I LOVE this whole look with the huge mirror. I guess you could use antiqued mirrored wall tiles and recreate it.

Terrific, diverse assortment, like the chairs you posted, @Desert Lily .

Mirrors glitter, bring the outside in, and bend light so you have more of it, in a room with mirrors.

In my living room where I'm sitting, on different walls I have a large, oval teak mirror, a small mahogany Chippendale mirror, and a small gold baroque mirror. Oh, and paired with the gold baroque mirror, is a vintage brass candle sconce, which technically is not a mirror, but the polished brass backplate acts like a mirror-- (if I remember to keep it polished....)

What a beautiful display of mirrors!!! There are several that stand out for me, numbers 3,7. 8, 10. 13, 12 and 18. I would love to have any one of these mirrors in my home!!!!

The mirrors are very attractive, but me personally I do not want or like my home decorated with mirrors.

I LOVE #6 including that wall paper!! I have a few interesting mirrors, in different shapes and sizes, that I used on my walls in the house I sold a few years ago--they just add light and depth to a room. But they are in storage now as I am in a small apartment----

I'm always a bit afraid those huge leaning mirrors will fall over or slide down.

My favorite is the carved wooden menagerie mirror with birds, butterflies, dragonflies, cattails, lily pads, etc.

@Desert Lily I love mirrors. My picks would be 5 and 15. I love round and oval shapes. I have no square coffee tables in my house. They are all round or oval. I picked some interesting mirrors in my current home.
