St. Clare Antique French Pewter Wall Mirror

Wall Mirrors and Wall Art

When faced with a choice between hanging a wall mirror or wall art, there are a couple of décor factors to consider. Art definitely adds personality to a space, but the wrong piece can many times overpower a room and make it feel more crowded and busy than it needs to be. A wall mirror eliminates many of these concerns. Mirrors enlarge and expand the perceived space of a room. They are particularly useful for adding depth and a touch of glamour to dining areas, sitting rooms and offices. They are functional as well. Place a small accent mirror in a hallway or next to your front door to check your appearance before heading out the door. And like wall art, a mirror can make a wonderful fashion statement. Choose a sleek, modern look in bold color for a contemporary room, or use wrought iron scrolls and wood tones for a warm and traditional feel.
