Now that the holiday season has come to a close and you have put away the wreaths and garlands (please tell me you finally put your tree away), maybe you find a gaping hole above your fireplace. Instead of just hanging a family portrait and calling it done, why not try something a little different? A classic and modern choice is to hang a mirror above your mantel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, now you\u2019re wondering what type of mirror would work well for this, you really only need to consider two things for this. First the size of the mirror and second the style. In terms of sizing, it\u2019s nice to have it big. Since fireplaces and mantels are pretty substantial, don\u2019t be afraid to go bigger for the mirror. I would recommend keeping it narrow enough to centre above the fireplace, but still a decent size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When thinking about the mirror style, currently more gold and ornate framed mirrors are very popular mantel choices but some other great options would be a large circular mirror or a taller rectangle sitting on the mantel instead of hung up. If you\u2019re not really into following trends and prefer to keep classic decor that won\u2019t go out of style anytime soon, I would stick to the circle or taller rectangle. For frames, I recommend metallic or black as neither of these are seasonal and will stay in style forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
