1. Size & Proportions

• Standard Large Mirror Sizes:

  • Vertical: 36″–72″ tall (common for bathrooms or entryways)

  • Horizontal: 48″–96″ wide (great over sofas or consoles)

  • Oversized: 60″–120″+ (statement pieces for living rooms or bedrooms)

• Rule of Thumb: The mirror should be slightly smaller than the furniture it hangs above (e.g., 2/3 the width of a sofa or console table).

2. Shape & Style

• Rectangular/Oval: Classic, works in most spaces.

• Round/Sunburst: Softens sharp lines in modern rooms.

• Arch/Ornate: Adds elegance to traditional or vintage decor.

• Frameless (Leaner Mirrors): Sleek, contemporary look.

3. Placement Ideas

• Living Room: Over a fireplace, sofa, or console table.

• Bedroom: Above a dresser or as a full-length mirror.

• Dining Room: Reflects light and makes the space feel grand.

• Entryway: Expands narrow hallways and adds functionality.

• Bathroom: Large vanity mirror or a decorative piece.

4. Frame Options

• Metal (Gold, Black, Silver): Modern or industrial.

• Wood (Oak, Walnut, Painted): Warm and rustic.

• Minimalist (Floating or Frameless): Clean and contemporary.

5. Installation Tips

• Use mirror clips or J-channels for frameless mirrors.

• For heavy mirrors, secure with French cleats or heavy-duty anchors.

• Hang at eye level (or slightly lower in seating areas).

6. Where to Buy

• Budget: IKEA, Target, HomeGoods

• Mid-Range: Wayfair, West Elm, CB2
