Several days ago my friend send me an email asking about wall mirrors. She wanted some information about them, knowing there are many different types of wall mirrors, she would like me to give her an idea of options concerning those types.
She gave me a list of topics I needed to expand, I then broke down those topics and fill in needed information, here they are:
Wall Mirror Themes
I tell her that when it comes to the themes, her choices are:
- Floral
- Nautical
- Tropical
- Exotic
She'll find a good examples on these themed wall mirror on online stores.
The Styles
There are large variety to choose from, they are:
- Commercial
- Oriental
- Transitional
- Novelty
- Modern/Contemporary
- Traditional
- Ornate/Gothic
- Venetian
- Casual
- Mission
- Craftsmen
- Shaker
- Children's

- Exotic.
There are more styles but these are enough to give her a general idea of available styles.
The Materials of Wall Mirrors Frame
There exist several different materials for wall mirrors frames, including:
- Glass Frame
- Resin Frame
- Wood Frame
- Metal Frame
- Wrought Iron Frame
- Mosaic Frame
- Pressed Paper Frame
- Wood/Metal Combo Frame
- Synthetic Frame and Leather/Faux Leather Frame
Not all mirrors are framed, some rooms just want to be decorated with frameless wall mirrors.
The Color of The Frames
When it comes to colors, there are many options, these list are all but complete:
- Cherry
- Silver
- Oak
- Gold
- Mahogany
- Pewter
- Bronze
- Copper
- Nickel
- Black
- White
- Light Wood
- Medium Wood
- Dark Wood
- Multi Color
- and sure you could get your custom colored frames
The Shapes
Probably the most important part of wall mirrors are their shape. When decorating a themed room you can't help but think about the shape, just relax and use your feeling, you need to examine the entire feel of the room with all the furniture shapes, their colors, wall colors, the lightings, and then determine what the shape of wall mirror would complement the room. Here are some of their shapes:
- Oval
- Rectangle
- Round
- Arch/Crowned Top
- Square
- Sunburst
- Octagon
- Heart
But it doesn't stop there, on some online stores you'll find basically any shapes that are imaginable.
Commercial Wall Mirrors
Not just for residential use, there are also commercial use of wall mirrors, some of them include one of these additional features:
- ADA Compliant
- Beveled Glass/Frame
- Eco friendly
- Fog Free
- Magnifying
- Tilt
- Hooks
- Lighted
- Shelves/Drawers
- Stemware Storage
- Artwork
Surely these wall mirrors came in varying size, from small to the very big ones, and anything in between.
With all these information you'll know better of your available options, when you know your options it would be easier to choose the wall mirrors that you need.
