Decorative and functional. Modern wall mirrors can make a great statement piece in your living room. They are sure to add sophisticated flair to your walls. And they also have the quite amazing power to make a place look larger, which is why many interior designers use them solely as part of their home décor.
Due to their adaptability and power to create a statement in practically any space of the house, mirrors have always been a staple aesthetic tool among interior designers.
While wall mirrors can be as inexpensive as they are functional, they can also be investment items that serve as art pieces (Art Deco style, anyone?).
If you’re still in the process of gathering statement pieces and trying to shop for your living room, but unsure which modern wall mirror to get, I’ve got you covered!
To help you pick the ideal wall mirror for your space, I’ve looked at many of the most stunning designs that can surely brighten up your home. These are mirrors you can add to your bedroom, kitchen, and entry way, as well.
But before you check yourself out or take that perfect mirror selfie, let me talk about a few things you should consider when you shop for a wall mirror.
What To Consider in Choosing Modern Wall Mirror for Living Room
Mirrors are not one-size-fits-all accouterments. There are a few things you should consider before getting that wall mirror you saw on Pinterest last night.
Are Wall Mirrors in Style?
Trends come and go. Wall mirrors have been a favorite design choice between the 70s and the 90s, and they’re back in trend. Depending on how you’ll use it and the type you choose, a modern wall mirror may be the best choice for your home. You can add it to your space whatever the latest trend.
As a matter of fact, most decorative modern wall mirrors are most commonly associated with vintage and classic interiors. The beauty of modern wall mirrors is that you can easily incorporate them into more contemporary spaces by adopting more simplistic and sleek designs.
You can also use modern wall mirrors as a clever way to make your space seem bigger, lighter, and brighter, regardless of your home’s décor style.
Location of the Mirror in Your Living Room
You should place a wall mirror at the center of the wall or in a spot that offers visual appeal and harmony to the design aesthetic. It is important to note that installing a mirror just off-center on a wall might seem obtrusive and can throw off the flow of a space. So, take your time when setting up the hooks in place to hang mirrors.
Also, you may want to hang the mirrors with their centers slightly below eye level. Hanging them this way allows you to see more of your reflection than it is of the ceiling or wall behind you.
A good rule of thumb to remember is that as long as it fits the rest of the design, you can hang a mirror on any wall.
Type of Decorative Wall Mirror
To create a pleasant and welcoming living room, you must consider the mirror’s size, shape, and style.
Is the mirror going to be the focal point? Do you plan on blending it in with the space? Those factors will determine the size of the wall mirror you’ll get. Anything between 25 and 31 inches in length is ideal for living rooms to create a bold statement.
Choose one in a shape and design that complements the rest of your living room’s décor. When it comes to shape, rectangular and square mirrors are the most popular. But if you want to bring a creative flair to your living area, you can go for round, oval, diamond shape, or even heart-shaped mirrors.
The design and color of your mirror can also have a great influence on its overall design impact. Looking for a simple, streamlined look? Then go for metal, wooden, or plastic frames.
If you go for metal frames there are several finishes to choose from. You can go for elegant, gold frames to create a focal point for a more sophisticated or striking look. For traditional spaces, you must search for something with a more ornate gold frame. Bronze and silver are also trendy, especially in industrial-style homes.
There are also many patterns and textures to choose from. Pick a striking piece to serve as the area’s focal point or you can go all out with a wall of mirrors from top to bottom. You can always explore which one best fits the overall aesthetic of your home and living area.
