Let the wall and furniture guide you

Upright

Try the taller outline beside a doorway, between windows or on a narrow hallway wall. Check that the full height fits around any lights, switches or artwork.

Sideways

Try the wider outline above a console or sideboard. Start with a mirror around two thirds to three quarters of the furniture’s width, then adjust for the space around it.

Our mirror sizes guide and console styling guide show how to work with the furniture underneath.

Try both outlines before you choose

Use painter’s tape to mark the full height and width on your wall, first upright and then sideways. Step back to your usual viewing spot and check what the mirror will reflect.

The curved glass sits inside that rectangle. The tape and illustrations are for planning the look, not drilling templates. Follow the supplied instructions for your mirror when hanging it.

All three are frameless with a bevelled edge and 5 mm glass. They’re the only three in our range made to hang both ways; other mirrors hang as shown on their product pages.
