subject: The Perfect Choice For A Bedroom Mirror [print this page] While it is up to you to pick the type, size and style of the mirror you want to convey your own individual style, you really can not go wrong because a mirror is one of the quintessential focal points for every bedroom. With an eye on design and function, you have a large selection with varied price ranges to consider.
Purpose
Designer Style: The type of mirror you choose can enhance the sophistication and classiness of your bedroom, especially when you make it a major visual feature. You can place it against a side wall at an angle, or opt for one of the more flashy design styles that hang above a piece of furniture.
Catching the Light: You can use a mirror to give the impression that the room is larger, or you can use it to echo the existing sunlight, but either way it is just the right thing to do if you need to visually enhance the size and feel of the space.
Display Art Work and Keepsakes: If you wish to call attention to keepsakes on the surface of the dresser, or expose different viewing points of a favorite piece of wall art, a mirror can create this type of visual interest.
Personal Appearance: You can place a mirror on a side wall, or attached to a vanity, or hide it behind a door if you want to use it for the more functional purpose of checking your personal appearance.
Room Design
Formal: Go for a mirror that has an old world or traditional feel for this type of style. Look to rich wood, antique, or a gold covered frame that is elaborate and complex. It can closely resemble or mimic the other style touches choices in your bedroom including the set itself if you wish.
Modern: Frames of this type of mirror should be smooth and uncomplicated, like that of black high gloss paint, or a metallic finish that highlights this type of style. Also, you can go without a frame all together or arrange different shapes and sizes to make a contemporary statement.
Eccentric: The bedroom is one place that makes a personal style statement, and as such, you have to follow your heart when you go for a more unconventional look. Take an existing mirror and update it to reveal a funky new inspiration even if it goes against the other styles in the room. The way to follow this style is not to be ruled by it. Be unpredictable and see where it leads.
Kids Room: Use your creative instinct to dress wall frames with an artistic flair that your child will appreciate. Beading, glitter, stickers, feathers and silk flowers can all be attached to the frames you choose and used to produce a unique mirror that will enhance and add a touch of whimsy to your child room.
