Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I hang an arched mirror?
Arched mirrors make stunning focal points in entryways, above mantels, in dining rooms, or as statement pieces in bedrooms and living rooms. Their vertical orientation and curved tops draw the eye upward, making them ideal for emphasizing ceiling height. They work beautifully above console tables, sideboards, or as standalone wall features. Arched mirrors also create elegant symmetry when flanked by sconces or artwork.
How do arched mirrors differ from other shapes?
Arched mirrors combine the vertical emphasis of rectangular mirrors with the soft curves of round or oval mirrors. The curved top adds architectural interest and classical elegance that straight-edged square or rectangular mirrors can't achieve. Arched mirrors evoke European sophistication and work particularly well in spaces with arched doorways, windows, or architectural details.
What design styles work best with arched mirrors?
Arched mirrors excel in traditional, Mediterranean, Tuscan, and French country interiors. They also add romantic contrast to modern and contemporary spaces, creating an eclectic, curated look. Ornate gold or carved wood frames suit classic styles, while sleek black or silver frames work in transitional or modern settings. For contemporary arched options, explore our modern mirrors collection.
What size arched mirror should I choose?
Arched mirrors typically work best in larger sizes to showcase their dramatic silhouette—look for heights of 48-72 inches for maximum impact. For above furniture, choose mirrors where the width is roughly two-thirds of the piece below, and ensure adequate vertical space to accommodate the arch. In rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings, leave at least 6-12 inches between the mirror's top and the ceiling.
Can arched mirrors work in modern interiors?
Absolutely! Arched mirrors add unexpected elegance and soften the hard lines of modern spaces. Choose arched mirrors with minimal frames in black, silver, or natural wood for contemporary appeal. The curved top provides organic contrast to angular modern furniture and architecture. Mixing arched mirrors with round or square mirrors creates dynamic, layered modern interiors.
How do I hang an arched mirror securely?
Arched mirrors are often larger and heavier than other shapes, requiring proper installation. Use heavy-duty wall anchors rated for the mirror's weight, and ensure they're appropriate for your wall type. Many arched mirrors have D-rings or wire systems—use a level to ensure the mirror hangs straight vertically, even though the top is curved. For very large arched mirrors, consider professional installation for safety and proper positioning.
