Rectangular Mirrors

Match the mirror to the wall and furniture below it. A mirror over a console, dresser, or vanity usually looks best when it is narrower than the furniture and leaves breathing room around the frame.

Choose shape first when the wall or furniture proportion is the main issue. Choose finish first when you are coordinating with lighting, cabinet hardware, or nearby decor.

Mirrors work well in entryways, dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and above consoles. They add light, height, and a stronger focal point without taking floor space.
