What Kind Of Mirror Is Best For Your Room?

I've known some ladies who never passed a mirror they didn't fall in 'love' with

. And, for them, a big, bright beautiful mirror hanging on the wall is one of life's necessities. This isn't meant to sound unfair to the ladies... they just seem generally more concerned with appearance.

When adding a mirror to your dcor there are many options. Size, shape, frame color (or no frame) and style all come into play. Some mirrors are designed to hang on walls while others attach to a door. Some are freestanding models that are adjustable to your height. All should be capable of delivering an accurate reflection. Some cost as little as $20 while others can run many thousands of dollars. It's up to you.

If you happen to live in a small space your best option could be an over the door mirror. Renters will appreciate how easy these mirrors are to install and remove when moving out. Wall mirrors are often heavier in weight and require substantial screws or clips to hold them in place. Sometimes this can leave holes or marks that will need to be repaired when vacating the premises.

Door mirrors are usually lightweight and yet large enough to enable you to view your entire body in the reflection. It's important that it be installed at the proper height relative to your own height. If two or more differently sized adults will be using the mirror a compromise will have to be reached on height installation.

If you live in a home with a fireplace and you're considering adding a mirror to that room you might want to think about getting an overmantle mirror. These can have a big impact on your room's appearance by not only brightening it up but also by making it seem larger. The empty space between your mantelpiece and the ceiling can present you with a decorating challenge and a nice mirror can really dress up this space.

Numerous configurations exist for mantle mirrors although most often these units will be rectangular in shape. Any and all shapes are available, as mirrors are fairly easy to get custom cut. Triple sectioned mirrors (called the 'triptych" design) have always been very popular for placement over a mantle.

A freestanding, adjustable mirror is another popular choice, typically for a bedroom or an entryway. This design requires some free floor space in order to use and isn't the best choice for those without extra living area. For those in cramped quarters a door-mounted unit is usually the best bet.
