A mirror can certainly be a great decorative element, but its appearance is often spoiled by a poorly chosen frame.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, shared advice on mirrors and frames that surround them.
As the specialist explained, a carved wooden frame looks good in a classic interior, but in a minimalist style it will look too pretentious and pompous.
Contrast won't work for you in this case, and the mirror can overwhelm the room.
If you are not sure which frame will work best, choose a simple, solid color option.
Moreover, some styles provide for the presence of "naked" mirrors. For example, the Scandinavian style, minimalism or high-tech allow for the placement of an accessory on the wall without a frame.
It is also important to consider the color of the frame. A universal option is black – it suits almost always. You can also choose a frame to match the walls, a couple of shades lighter or darker. In this case, the frame will not become a bright accent in the room and will harmoniously complement the mirror without drawing attention to itself.
Finally, when choosing a frame for a mirror, pay attention to its material.
Plastic looks the worst and automatically cheapens the interior. It is best to choose a metal or wooden frame. If you want to add luxury to your interior, consider the option of a frame painted in gold or silver.
