Mirrors buying guide

Choosing by shape makes it easier to narrow down mirrors that suit your wall space and the look of the room. In this collection, rectangular designs are the most common, with round, arch, oval, abstract and square options also available, so it covers everything from simple hallway pieces to more decorative living room and bedroom styles.

Rectangular pieces are often the easiest fit above sideboards, console tables and mantel areas because their straight lines echo other furniture. Round and oval options can soften a room with lots of angular furniture, while arch shapes add visual height and suit traditional, modern and industrial settings depending on the frame finish.

Mirrors materials and finishes

These mirrors come in a mix of metal, wood, oak, glass, MDF and particle wood, with finishes that include black, white, gold, brass, natural, painted, matt and gloss. Metal and iron frames give a cleaner outlined look, while wood and oak frames feel warmer and more classic. For day-to-day care, a soft dry cloth is usually the safest choice, and a Care Kit can help with general upkeep.

Before you buy, check how the style will sit with the surrounding furniture and decor. With so many shapes and finishes to choose from, mirrors can be selected to either blend in quietly or stand out as a focal point.
