Decorative Mirrors
Decorative mirrors are as much about style as reflection. Ornate frames, sunburst shapes and unusual designs turn a mirror into wall art. Use one as a focal point in a living room, hallway or bedroom. Our decorative range changes often, so call our Southsea showroom for current pieces.
Decorative Mirrors: Art That Reflects
A decorative mirror does two jobs. It reflects light like any mirror. It also acts as a piece of art. The frame is the star of the show.
Popular Decorative Styles
- Sunburst mirrors – rays radiate from a round centre. Great above fireplaces.
- Ornate gilt frames – classic, carved designs in gold tones.
- Organic shapes – wavy, asymmetric frames for modern rooms.
- Natural materials – rattan, driftwood and teak for texture.
Where to Hang Them
A decorative mirror works best where it can be seen. Try it above a console table in the hall. Above a fireplace, it becomes the room's focal point. Over a sideboard, it reflects lamps and candles.
Balancing Frame and Glass
A bold frame needs space around it. Keep nearby decor simple. In a busy room, choose a slimmer decorative frame that adds detail without clutter.
Group Mirrors Together
Clusters of small decorative mirrors make a striking feature wall. Mix shapes but keep one finish, such as gold or natural wood. Space them evenly for a planned look.
Hanging Safely
Ornate mirrors can be heavy. Use fixings rated for the weight. Plasterboard walls need cavity fixings or a stud.
