Almost more than any other decoration or piece of furniture, large wall mirrors have the ability to transform the look and feel of any room. On the flip side, if a mirror is not within the right size range, or does not go well with the general theme or decor of the room it is in, it can stand out and have a detrimental effect.
Large walls mirrors can serve both a functional and a decorative purpose. They are a great way to instantly make a room feel larger, brighter and more open. Additionally, with the wide range of options that are available as far as sizes, shapes, frame styles and colors, it is easy to find one that fits well in any type of room, and provides complimentary touch to the theme of the room. Here is what to keep in mind when beginning your search for these types of mirrors.
The term large wall mirrors is fairly subjective, but generally we are talking about mirrors that are large enough to be the main focus on a wall, or a major section of a wall. Obviously the bathroom is a common place for a large wall mirror, but they can also work as a great decorative piece in other rooms of the house such as a dining room, living room or game room. Whatever the room you are planning to put it in, take the time to find a mirror that fits well in that space. These types of mirrors will make a noticeable difference in the room, and that difference can be either positive or negative depending on your selection.
The good news is that with the wide array of sizes, styles, frame materials etc. that are available, you should have no problem finding a large wall mirror for any space you have in mind. If you are looking for particular color of frame, or one made from a certain type of wood, metal or other material, it is more than likely out there. It doesn't matter if your style is contemporary, vintage, antique or based upon a particular era. Whatever your decorating style there are wall mirrors to compliment that. No matter what your taste is you should find a mirror that's perfect for you.
Size and shape varieties will never be an issue either as there are large wall mirrors in virtually every shape or size you could want. If you want an oddly shaped mirror or one that is not a normal size, you can always have one custom made according to your wishes. The cost will be greater but sometimes getting the exact perfect mirror is worth the price. However, there are so many options available these days that finding a suitable one should not be a problem. We have found well priced, good quality options at many familiar department and furniture stores.
Selecting and hanging a large wall mirror demands a little more care than other smaller mirrors. As we mentioned above, be sure to select a mirror that blends well with the surrounding decor. A large mirror automatically draws attention, so if it doesn't fit with the theme of the room it is going to look odd and out of place. However, a mirror that does blend well with it's surroundings will tie the entire room together beautifully.
Choosing a large wall mirror should be similar to any other piece of furniture for your room. It is important that it is not too small, not tool large, and that it goes well with the rest of the furniture and overall theme. Start with measuring the area of the wall where you plan to hang the wall mirror, and settle on a size range that will work. At that point you can look for styles of mirrors that fit within those size parameters.
Generally, large wall mirrors will be best in rooms without a lot of windows, and preferably hanging on a wall without any windows, or at least not too close to them. This will serve to give the room a brighter, more open and spacious feel.
A large wall mirror should be the main feature of the wall, or the the section of the wall where it hangs. By this we mean that it shouldn't be forced into an area where you already have windows, pictures or other decorative pieces. You want to avoid too much busyness around the mirror as that will reduce the mirrors effect, and the mirror will drown out the other pieces. Let the mirror be the focus of the area.
Finally, you need to take extra care when hanging large wall mirrors as they tend to be fairly heavy. Unlike lighter mirrors that can be hung anywhere, heavier ones may need to be secured to a stud in the wall. If you are unsure about this it is best to consult with a builder or handyman. You want to avoid having the mirror come loose and causing damage.
Take a little time to decide on the optimal location and size, and then have fun shopping around for a style that will be the perfect accent to your room. Do these things and you will get great results from your large wall mirrors.
