Here are some Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts to consider when you hang a mirror over your fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Hang the Mirrors Vertically or Horizontally<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mirrors<\/a> are very functional as they provide the illusion of space to smaller areas. Similarly, if you hang a mirror vertically, it would make your wall appear taller. Hanging a mirror horizontally will give the illusion of a wider wall. So, you need to play with mirrors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Balance the Mirror with the Mantle\u2019s Length<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Balancing the mirror size following the mantle\u2019s length is very important. The size of the mirror should be two-thirds of the fireplace width. Balancing the mirror with firepit length makes the area look equal and gives it a wonderful appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hang a Few Inches Above the Mantle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s common to place some decorative pieces above the mantle to create visual appeal. To enhance this experience, hang a mirror a few inches above the mantle. It will help in reflecting the decorative objects placed over the mantle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI: What to place above the mantle?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can place decorative items such as colorful flowers, figurines, candles, statues, clocks, picture frames, vases, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go For Different Shapes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

It is neither compulsory nor a tradition to opt for rectangular-shaped mirrors<\/a> above the fireplace. It is a misconception to have rectangular mirrors over the mantle. Play with the mirror shapes and go beyond the traditional ideas. A round<\/a> or oval-shaped mirror<\/a> gives a unique glance to the room. Moreover, you can also hang an octagonal<\/a> or diamond-shaped mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look For a Framed Mirror<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a framed or frameless mirror is perfectly the user\u2019s choice. However, the framed mirror looks more elegant and elevates the visual appeal of the space when placed above the mantle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opting for a rustic mirror or antique mirror adds a lot of texture and warmth to the fireplace area and also furnishes an old-school look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things To Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Don\u2019t Hang the Mirror Too High<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hanging a mirror too high above the mantle means that the mirror will reflect useless things like a bare wall, ceiling or a doorway, etc. To extract the benefits of fireplace mirrors, don\u2019t place the mirrors too high from the mantle as it will deplete its aesthetic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Tilt the Mirror<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A tilted mirror above the fireplace gives an awkward look to its viewers. To get the best out of the fireplace mirrors, don\u2019t tilt the mirror.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No Chandelier With a Bulb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When a mirror is placed above the fireplace, it has its own aesthetics that it spreads around the room. A chandelier with a lighted bulb hanging in the room will reduce the beauty of the fireplace mirror. Because the mirror will reflect the light coming from the chandelier and it can be glaring to the eyes. So, avoid a lighted chandelier in the fireplace area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go Beyond Boundaries with the Fireplace Mirrors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We mentioned some Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts of hanging a fireplace mirror. However, if you have any other idea that seems wonderful, you may stick to it. Just remember to place the fireplace mirror on a wide wall so they may give you the best outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down here is some useful information related to mirrors over the fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros and Cons of Mirrors Above Fireplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
