Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I hang an oval mirror?
Oval mirrors work beautifully in entryways, above console tables, in bathrooms, or as statement pieces in living rooms and bedrooms. Their vertical orientation makes them ideal for narrow wall spaces, while their soft curves complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. For different shapes that suit various spaces, explore our rectangular mirrors or square mirrors.
What size oval mirror should I choose?
The ideal size depends on your space and purpose. For above a console table or vanity, choose a mirror that's roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture. For a statement wall piece, consider a larger mirror (36-48 inches tall) to create maximum visual impact and reflect more light.
How high should I hang my oval mirror?
The center of the mirror should typically be at eye level, approximately 57-65 inches from the floor. In bathrooms, position mirrors so the center aligns with the average eye level of users. Above furniture, leave 4-6 inches of space between the furniture top and the mirror's bottom edge.
Can oval mirrors make a room look bigger?
Yes! Oval mirrors are excellent for creating the illusion of more space. Position them across from windows to reflect natural light, or place them at the end of hallways to add depth. Their reflective surface bounces light around the room, making spaces feel brighter and more open. Round mirrors and arched mirrors also work beautifully for this effect.
How do I clean and maintain my oval mirror?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth with a gentle glass cleaner or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Spray the cleaner on the cloth, not directly on the mirror, to avoid damaging the frame. Wipe in circular motions and buff dry for a streak-free shine.
