Theme

When styling any space, having a consistent theme is important. This includes matching colour palettes, textures and design style. For example, if your console is a modern black console, adding a white or black custom framed mirror with white and black elements beside it.

Frame

Customizing a framed mirror allows you to match the frame and size perfectly to your console. For a modern or minimalist space, a simple black, white or metallic frame is perfect. For a transitional, boho or farmhouse style room, a natural wood frame will look amazing. If your space is more glamorous a textured metallic frame might be the right choice.

Layering

When styling a console, the key idea is to create visual layers. This involves placing objects around the mirror. This can be any decorative object such as a candle stick, a stack of books or a dish. Try to overlap some of the objects with the mirror, for example, placing a candle beside or in front of the mirror. This will make the console seem more professionally styled.

Height

Try to use a medium sized mirror, with the objects that surround it varying in height. If all the objects on the console are the same size, the console will appear flat and uninteresting. Place objects such as candle sticks or mid sized vases beside and around your custom mirror, with some smaller objects such as a bowl or small trinket placed in-between.
