5 Design Tips On Choosing A Dresser Mirror

A dressing table is the second most important thing in a bedroom after the bed itself. It can help create a truly special atmosphere and change the overall feel of your room with just a few touches. And what dressing table goes without a mirror? Whether you are in a hurry or the bathroom mirror is occupied by other members of the family, it’s important to have a spare one. It also makes the room look more spacious which is always a good thing. Choosing a dressing table mirror tips and advice differ greatly, but here are a few simple ones to help you out.

Illuminated dressing table mirror

Nothing livens up the room space more than dressing table mirror light bulbs . First of all, they are fun and can create a private and intimate atmosphere when you create your look – for the day, or for your loved one before bedtime. Secondly, they really glam up the room as they are reminiscent of dressing tables of stars from the 20s when everything was about glamour and chic. A dressing table mirror with lights around it can look really special if you choose lamps with modern design.

A stylish framed mirror

Depending on the style of your dressing table  you can go for a framed mirror. Such mirrors have a great variety of designs – from minimalistic to more exquisite and complicated. Think about the colors you can use – either create some contrast with the overall palette used in the room, or try to match the color of the frame with that one of the table and other furniture in the room.

Choosing a dresser mirror tips and advice: think about the shape

Color is one thing, but shape is even more important! If you choose your mirror wrong, it can unbalance the whole room. Whether you go for an elaborate mirror design or a cheap dressing table mirror, you should choose the one that compliments the dressing table. For example, if most of the furniture in the room has straight angles, it’s better to go for a rectangular mirror. Of course you can experiment with curvy objects as well, but be careful to maintain the balance.

Mind the size of the mirror

To make the dressing table and the mirror look coherent, you should pick a mirror of the right size. There’s one simple rule you should follow to create a stylish and balanced look: the mirror should not be bigger than the dressing table. So before going to the shop or ordering your furniture online be sure to take all the measurements. The mirror should also not be higher than the dresser, as it is meant to balance to dresser in every possible way. You can either put a mirror on top of the dresser, or choose to purchase a wall mirror, which allows you to experiment with the proportions more as the dressing table won’t be supporting the mirror standing on it. Nevertheless, the mirror shouldn’t be wider than the dressing table.
