Need: Mirrors

Interestingly, in my search for mirrors in room design, I came across more examples of what not to do...a few tips: if hanging over a console or chest, let one be the star of the composition; scale the mirror to it's purpose; don't hang opposite direct sunlight and reflect something worth seeing twice...my favorite mirror as a tool are convex mirrors: provides some movement in a room and really love them tucked behind lamps, especially on nightstands...

Fair amount of glare here, but imagine the light dances at night from the hanging pendants

Love what it's reflecting




May blind if this is a western exposure


A bit contrived overall, but an example of proper scale of lamp to mirror
