If they\u2019re all different, try to go for something neutral or that matches a room like their hallway or living room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Size<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Think about where they will hang it, do they have a big empty wall in their living room, or a bathroom in desperate need of an update? Try to think about where they would hang it, and custom frame it to that size. If you\u2019re unsure, the general rule is that the framed mirror should be around 2\/3 the size of the furniture it\u2019s hanging above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Hangers<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As a cute bonus, include everything they would need to hang the mirror. A single nail isn\u2019t always the right choice to hang a framed mirror. Depending on the weight of the glass and the frame, a nail in some drywall might not be supportive enough. If the mirror is larger or heavier, I recommend giving them threaded anchors, screws or several nails. These options provide a wider balance point to disperse the weight of your custom framed mirror. You can pick up any of these options online or through local hardware store.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Design Style Would you consider their space modern, transitional or boho?
