What sized Mirror should you choose for the Fireplace?

With hundreds of mirror designs to choose from including wood finishes, and varied choices of material, (Plastic, MDF or Wood), mirrors give the ideal range and variety to any project that looks to harmonize a living space. A popular choice is to go for wooden mirrors. Fireplace mirrors are generally about 18” x 24” in size, however depending on the size of your mantle, a medium mirror 24” x 36” is a good choice. In case you have a larger fireplace, you may want to highlight the whole room and consider larger mirror sizes like 42” x 54”, 36” x 48”, 36” x 42” etc. This is because the fireplace structure in itself large, and the mirror gives depth to the wall and decorates it as well.
