Mirrors

Mirror: decorative element and room enlarger

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Mirrors are an eye-catcher in any home. They are useful and help us to choose the right outfit. They also open up a world that would otherwise remain invisible to us by allowing us to look at our face, giving us a more intense awareness of ourselves. At the same time, a wall mirror or standing mirror is a popular decorative element. Mirrors can be used in the cloakroom, hallway, living room, bedroom or dressing room and even the bathroom can be made more cosy and personal by replacing the usual mirror cabinet with an individual mirror with a pretty frame.

We stock mirrors in many impressive shapes and designs, with frames made of different materials and with a wide variety of decorations.

A wall mirror as a wardrobe mirror is indispensable for many people. This is where you take a last look at your hairstyle and clothes every morning before leaving the house. The reflection of light in a mirror creates exciting effects. A mirror also reflects movement in the room. A room fitted with mirrors therefore appears more lively and full of energy.

Mirrors enlarge the room

A narrow, dark hallway with a wall mirror hanging in it appears much larger than it actually is. Of course, a mirror has no effect on the size of the room, but the optical illusion it creates may well be desirable.

The mirror reflects reality

Similar to a picture, a mirror can be used to bring something into the room that is not there in reality. But its effect is also included. Cleverly placed in a room with windows, you can project the green garden or the landscape outside the window onto the wall. Including a calming atmosphere, of course. In one respect, the mirror is clearly superior to the picture you hang on the wall: The picture always looks the same, the wall mirror also conveys the mood and lighting conditions that prevail outside. This prevents boredom from setting in. As positively as a mirror can influence the atmosphere, it is also possible to create confusion and discomfort. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the right placement. A mirror at the top or bottom of the landing can be unsettling and even cause falls. If there are too many mirrors in a room, it can create an oppressive feeling of being watched.

Wall mirrors: from minimalist models to eye-catchers

Depending on the size and design, the mirror plays a larger or smaller role as a decorative element. A flat, simple wall mirror without a frame or with a narrow frame in an inconspicuous colour blends harmoniously into the surroundings. A wall mirror with an opulent frame, on the other hand, is much more likely to be perceived as a living object in its own right. The fact that you can look at yourself in it becomes a minor matter. The more opulent the mirror, the heavier it is. When buying a wall mirror, you should therefore be aware that a strong anchorage with several drill holes is required.

The standing mirror as a flexible alternative to the wall mirror

A standing mirror automatically takes up more space due to its three-dimensionality. The standing leg allows it to be tilted backwards, where it offers the viewer a valuable full-body perspective. Standing mirrors are therefore very welcome in the bedroom or in the dressing room, i.e. near the wardrobe. Standing mirrors help us to perceive our appearance as a whole, from our shoes to our hairstyle, and therefore to decide immediately whether the chosen outfit matches, looks good on us and is suitable for the upcoming occasion. In purely functional terms, standing mirrors offer the advantage of being versatile. Many standing mirrors can be converted into wall mirrors when the stand is folded in.

In our beautiful, wide range of mirrors, you will find mirrors in a wide variety of shapes. From the round, small mirror that is hung on the wall at head height and provides information on whether your hairstyle and make-up are in place. From the square mirror that can be hung above a sideboard in the living room or above a chest of drawers in the hallway. To the rectangular mirror, which is almost as tall as your body.

Oval mirrors and mirrors with rounded corners - such as the Brass wall mirror with its bronze frame - are reminiscent of times long past and, with their retro look, are now more fashionable than ever. In a classically furnished home, it blends harmoniously into the surroundings with its soft silhouette. In a purist, modern setting, this charming mirror creates an exciting break in style.

Mirrors with an extravagant look

Some mirrors are so decorative that the function of looking at them becomes a completely secondary matter. One such example is the round Cordoba wall mirror. Its silvery frame is perforated to form a pretty floral pattern - the hint of oriental flair cannot be overlooked. Or the Delizi round mirror, whose frame is many times larger than the mirror itself. The golden, grooved frame is reminiscent of an antique picture frame.

The Eternal wall mirror also stands out with its artistic design. It consists of countless small, round mirrors that are linked together by platinum elements - undoubtedly an eye-catcher with character.

Which frame suits which furnishing style?

If you love functional home furnishings, it's best to choose a mirror without a frame or a frame that stays discreetly in the background. The minimalist Nordic living style with its clear lines and therefore a certain austerity is the perfect stage for such a wall mirror. More romantic furnishing styles are characterised by wooden mirror frames in gold, silver or rose gold. Wooden frames give the country house style a home.
