A vintage mirror brings a distinctive frame and decorative character to an interior, with mid-century forms and proportions working particularly well against a plain wall; more traditional styles sit alongside antique mirrors. At Eleish Van Breems Home we favour mirrors that bring character and visual interest to a considered room.
What should I consider when choosing a vintage mirror?
When choosing a vintage mirror, consider the proportions of the glass and frame, the shape of the surround and how the piece will work within your room; a vintage decor grouping can create a collected look. Consider the available wall space and how the mirror will relate to surrounding furniture and decorative pieces.
How do vintage mirrors add light to a room?
A vintage mirror pulls daylight around a room, and its frame often reads mid-century, a slim surround or a soft organic shape that suits a modern wall, at home among mirrors & sconces. Hang it facing a window so it doubles the light rather than staring at a bare wall.
How do I hang a vintage mirror securely?
Hang a vintage mirror using a fixing rated for its weight, into a stud or wall anchor rather than a picture hook alone; it pairs naturally with vintage wall decor for a collected look. Check the wall type first, and have a professional hang the heaviest pieces.
