Popular Accent Wall Mirror Styles

Frameless Wall Mirrors

A style that's often understated, frameless mirrors are essentially pieces of mirrored glass that don't come with a border or frame. Compared to other mirrors, it's fairly common to see smaller sizes or geometric shapes in frameless options. This design provides endless decorating options as it's available in simple and detailed silhouettes. Try surrounding a single mirror with intricate art work in a bedroom, living room or study. Mixing in artwork will help enrich the space with colour.

Sunburst Mirrors

Playful and sculptural, sunburst mirrors give a sophisticated and sometimes whimsical look to a room. Used as a focal point, sunburst mirrors blend well with any decor style from traditional, to modern, to country. A sunburst mirror above a bed is an unexpected and bold statement. Play down the rest of your bedroom accessories and let the mirror do all the work.

Vanity Mirrors

The most common vanity mirror shape is rectangular. This classic, polished style is easy to surround with complementary accessories. Available framed or unframed, these functional mirrors vary in size, shape and material. From large, wooden framed mirrors to small, round polished mirrors, they are most often found in the bathroom. Paired or used alone, add a vanity mirror above a bathroom sink. Its clean, fuss-free look won't clash with the rest of your decor.

Circular Mirrors

Whether large or small, simple or ornate, circular mirrors provide visual appeal to any space. A circular mirror can create a well-balanced look when contrasted against the sharp angles of a desk, square or rectangular table or fireplace. Add an eye-catching circular mirror into your hallway or foyer decor. The mirror's dynamic shape will instantly enhance the room's decor.

Tip After a dramatic look? Make a statement by resting a framed, full-size floor mirror up against a living room, bedroom or hallway wall.

Venetian Mirrors

Venetian mirrors have an ornate design that is suraprisingly versatile. The style features decorative edging along the frame, from the sweeping arches to the long lines. It will add a bit of glam, vintage or elegance to your decor. Hang a Venetian mirror above an end table next to your bed. It will add a feminine touch to your space and create depth.
