There is an endless variety of shapes and sizes available so it is easy to find something to meet your personal aesthetic; as well as materials (glass, metal or wood resin) and finishes available; many even boast elegant bevelled edges for an added elegant finish!
Use decorative mirrors to add visual interest and depth to any living space, dining area, bedroom or entryway. Hang one above a mantelpiece to make the room seem larger and brighter or position one near a window to maximise natural lighting in a space.

Before beginning any painting job on any metal or wooden frames, remember to sand them lightly and apply primer.
