Sunburst Wall Mirrors

Sunburst wall mirrors are a type of design that is becoming very widespread.  The inspiration for the design is the sun, mixed together with its radiating rays.  This type of design when used gives life to decorative pieces.  It is not only used to design mirrors, but it can also be used for different decorative pieces as well as buildings.  It can also be found on stairs and doors.  It can also be used in stained glass, dome interiors, top carvings, façade, porthole, insignia and church pillars.  The design is usually applied by carving it directly on the wood.  It can also be put on steel and cement.

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.
