When you have chosen a good foyer table, it is time to choose a nice mirror. This can be a daunting task, as there are hundreds of shapes, styles, colors and sizes to choose from, and choosing the right one takes careful consideration. If you need some help with decor ideas about the foyer, and especially the foyer mirror, you are in the right place. First, choose your favorite form and then follow some simple rules.
Rectangle or Oval Mirrors: These shapes are classic choices that you can match with almost any interior and any size. Many foyer tables are about thirty to thirty six inches high, so the mirror can be the same height, minus or six inches. If your foyer has a very high ceiling and you want to add some nice effect, choose a mirror that is extra high. You should also consider the width of the console table. Choose a mirror that is about half or three-quarters of that width. This means that if your table is thirty-six inches wide, your foyer mirror must be 18-24 inches wide.
Square mirrors: Square foyer mirrors with large frames and smooth surfaces are a logical choice for many interiors, but getting the scale right can be a tricky task. Try to follow the guidelines mentioned above, but remember that your mirror looks heavier than a rectangle mirror, so it's true to say that they usually look better with larger furniture. Square mirrors work well over long brackets that are 45 cm or more.
Round mirrors: These can be quite difficult, but if chosen properly, they can add a surprisingly wonderful effect to the interior of your foyer. Like the square mirror, the size will be selected according to the height needed. A small mirror (for example, one that is twenty inches or less) is a poor choice for a few reasons. A small mirror can give people a feeling of a borehole – which does not look good at all. And when you hang it, it may look good as a decorative element, but it may not be practical in terms of height to look. There should be a few inches between the top of a console and the bottom line of a foyer mirror. A decorative mirror with a star defect may look fantastic, but if the mirror itself is small or convex, it means that it really is not the right choice. You can use these types of mirrors in other rooms in your house.
Once you find the right shape, think about the style. According to your decor ideas you can choose a style that fits perfectly with your foyer table or a style that is a little contrast. For example, if your foyer table is wood with carvings, you can buy a gilded mirror or a mirror with a tile frame. If you have a foyer table made of metal, you may want to heat it up with an exotic wooden frame. Once you have the shape and scale right, the design options are endless and an unlikely combination can really surprise you. A functional and stunning mirror is a great way to welcome your guests and add light to this little area. So make your measurements and start the mirror search!
