When you decide to decorate interiors with mirrors, there are several elements to consider. The choice of the frame (together with the manufacturing quality of the mirror surface and of the lighting, if any), is obviously one of the most important, when it comes to reorganizing your rooms and trying to get a completely new look. A wood frame mirror harmonizes with different styles, from classical to baroque, but also contemporary, for high contrast decorating, dramatic and breath taking!
Treat a mirror like you would an artwork
Mirrors by their nature are like artworks, as a viable alternative to paintings or expensive photographic prints. This is even more true when you choose a mirror with a handcrafted wooden frame, handmade from natural wood.
A wooden mirror adds a classic touch but can become incredibly interesting in unexpected settings: if you have dedicated a room or area for a home gym, for example, a wooden full length mirror, can completely change the way you look at this space.
Smaller and hung on the wall, in the dining room, a wood mirror creates an extraordinary effect when it reflects the flickering flame of the candles, giving an old charm to your dinners. The only thing you need to watch out for is its strategic placement …so that the tablemates don’t have to watch each other eat!
Place the mirror with a silver or golden wooden frame above the fireplace, to reflect the ceiling (here, don’t skimp on the size of the mirror, to create the illusion of higher ceilings) or the opposite walls.
To create a trendy composition, try tilting the wooden mirror above the fireplace and adding decorative elements, such as transparent or slightly colored glass vases.
Wherever your wood framed mirror is placed, always make sure you consider what it will be showing. Any ideas? That chandelier that you have chosen for its spectacular design but which is not valued enough, for example. Or the wall where you have hung your best snapshots, for an “art gallery” effect.
Design and functionality: wood mirrors with lighting
For the overall lighting of a room, a mirror plays an important role in diffusing the light. But if it is also equipped with a lighting system, it can also serve as a light source in the room or in a specific corner, as in the case of the walk-in closet. Finally, if it is equipped with an excellent lighting system, it also becomes functional for specific activities, such as makeup and skin care treatments.
