Different kinds of frames are used for the round wall mirrors which gives them a distinct and unique appeal.  Some frames that can be used are steel, wrought iron, wood or plastic.  Each frame has its own characteristic which can be used to enhance the style and design of a room.  In formal and chic rooms, it would be advisable to use mirrors with wooden frames.  While if you want the room to have a trendy theme, use round wall mirrors with wrought iron frames instead.  The ones with plastic frames are easily adaptable because they offer a variety of colors and styles that one can choose from.  The choice of round wall mirrors that will be used in a house depends on the style and theme used for decoration.  Just make sure that the type of frame to be used with the mirror would complement the style of the room.

Just like round beveled mirrors, general round mirrors also come in different sizes, both big and small.  The size to be used would depend on the room where it will be located.  For big rooms, use big round wall mirrors that will be proportionate to the size of the room.  While for small rooms, just use a small or medium sized round wall mirror.  Be sure to use a size that will not disrupt the balance of the room.

Round wall mirrors are easy to find, and you can even find some discount or wholesale prices in home furnishing stores, or even online.  So getting one would not be too hard because it is readily available.  There are a lot of good online stores that sell them which are also reasonably priced.  So ordering one online is very convenient since you can have it delivered to your home.

Initially, mirrors were made of highly polished metals and they are small in size.  And in the 1st century AD, from hand held pieces they evolved into full length mirrors.  While in the 16th century, heavy carvings and scrollwork or decorative metalwork was used to create ornate frames for the mirrors.  But a piece of glass backed with tin and mercury were the components used for creating the mirror itself.  This style spread throughout Europe which started in Venice.  By the end of the 17th century, silver, ebony, tortoiseshell and ivory were the materials being used to create mirrors and their frames.  Others use needlework and beads for the frames.  Frequent frames used in mirror for mantels are carved frames while replaceable frames are used for table mirrors.  If you find an antique mirror that you like, first take a photo of it and try putting it in the place where you want to put it to see if it will blend with the décor.

In buying round wall mirrors in general, try to avoid getting ones that are wavy and grayish looking.  Also do not buy thin antique wall mirrors for the reflection they produce is not good.  Lastly, do not get antique wall mirrors that decrease the size of the reflection.

Here are some suggestions where to place the antique wall mirror so that they highlight the space remarkably.  Place it in the entry hall in order to reflect the image of whoever is entering the house.  It would also be good located opposite a window to showcase the view outside.  Just like oval wall mirrors, they can serve as a strong focal point if they are placed on a mantel.  And they can lighten a dark area if located above a hall console or corner table.

Furthermore, in choosing antique wall mirrors, try to find ones that would go together with the style of the room.  Also take into consideration the finish used for the mirror, as it should blend with the other furniture pieces.  For non-traditional setting, choose ethnic and whimsical antique wall mirrors.  A different approach would be to choose an antique wall mirror that would be in contrast with the furniture; this would create an eclectic design.

In displaying an antique wall mirror, the size should be taken in consideration.  There are many ways in arranging the antique wall mirror, the size should be proportioned to the size of the furniture in the room.  If the antique wall mirror is narrow, it should be grouped with other paintings or scones.  If it is a large vertical mirror, it should be hung alone without any furniture underneath it.  If the mirrors are small or medium size, they should be grouped together.  They can be a collection of small antique wall mirrors or they can be grouped with art pieces, porcelain plates or figurines.

Just like when choosing sunburst wall mirrors, pick out one with the right angle and style that would complement the style of the room.  The mirror should help emphasize the beauty of the room by showing of the other decorations inside the room through its reflection.

Ideal round beveled mirrors can help complete the look of a room.  They can change the perception of a guest about the room.  Use the same pattern throughout the house when designing.  Also make sure that you place the mirrors strategically where people will stop and look at it, while checking out their reflection, in turn they might also become aware of how everything in the room is perfectly in place.

A room also looks more spacious when round wall mirrors are placed there.  Avoid putting them in an area where they are not needed or where they are isolated from other decorations.  Occasionally it is hard to decide if it is better to use a mirror or an art piece as décor.  It would be easier to decide if you ask someone to hold each in the spot so you can check out which one would fit better before putting it in place.

But before buying round beveled mirrors, check out different types to make sure that you get one that you really want.  They come in different types, and the quality of the mirror itself differs.. not only the frames.  So check out how objects are reflected in them before deciding on which one to buy.  A round beveled mirror not only shows how much you care about the decoration but it also says that you want to have an elegant looking room.

Hang your oval wall mirrors safely and correctly by following these simple steps.  But first you will need the following:

  • mirror clips
  • screwdriver
  • drill
  • stud finder
  • tape measure

First, decide on a spot where you want to hang your oval mirror.  Locate the wall studs in the area where you will hang the mirror by using the stud finder.  Once you have located the wall studs, put a mark on it.  If you cannot find any wall studs, make sure to have sturdy anchors instead.  Next, ask for somebody to hold the mirror against the wall so that its outline can be traced.  Put down the wall mirror first while you install the mirror clips.  Place the mirror clips on both sides and at the bottom to make sure that the mirror is secured.  Do not tighten the screws yet.  Erase the outline of the mirror.  Now, like all round wall mirrors, put it in the mirror clips and put a fourth clip at the top of the mirror.  This will make sure that the mirror is securely in place.  Lastly, tighten the screws to ensure that the mirror will not fall off.

Sunburst wall mirrors usually come in semi-circular or semi-elliptical form.  When using a semi-circular form, the design uses the shape of a circle which is divided producing two equal halves.  While a semi-ellipse form looks like an oval that is divided into two.  These are the most common forms of sunburst design that can be seen sold in stores.  But lately, more unique designs are coming out aside from these two.

Some variations of the sunburst mirror used in the market are Tobacco finish, Cherry sunburst and Three-color sunburst.  A Tobacco finish uses golden yellow at the middle and black toward the edges.  It starts with a subtle color that gradually turns into a deeper color.  While the Cherry sunburst uses the same golden yellow color at the middle but turns into a cherry red hue toward the edges.  And the Three-color sunburst mirror is a combination of the tobacco and cherry sunburst.  It still uses the golden yellow color at the middle but turns into red as it spreads outside and eventually into black at the edges.  This produces a more vibrant color because each color stands out regardless of the blending of colors.

Because of technology and creativity, a lot of different types of sunburst wall mirrors are being produced.  They showcase more bold and playful shades.  No matter what kind of round wall mirrors you like, just remember that sunbursts epitomize brightness, energy and happiness.
