Rectangle + Square Mirrors
A rectangular or square mirror is the most architectural choice for a wall — it reinforces structure, works with the geometry of most rooms, and frames a reflection cleanly rather than softening it. At Lulu and Georgia, the rectangle and square mirror collection spans large-format wall mirrors in simple and elaborate frames, narrow console mirrors for tight hallways, square accent mirrors, and statement pieces in brass, blackened steel, natural wood, and gilded finishes — each chosen for the quality of the frame as much as the function of the glass.
What rectangle and square mirrors does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes large rectangular wall mirrors in a range of aspect ratios, square mirrors in accent and statement sizes, narrow portrait and landscape mirrors suited for hallways and over consoles, mirrors with simple thin frames and more elaborate molded and carved frames, and leaner-style pieces. Frame materials span raw and painted brass, blackened and antique-finish steel, natural and stained wood, and gilded finishes in gold and silver leaf tones.
What size mirror works above a fireplace?
A mirror above a fireplace should be roughly the width of the mantel, or slightly narrower — typically between 24 and 48 inches wide for a standard residential fireplace. It should sit 4–8 inches above the mantelpiece for a grounded look. For a more dramatic statement, a mirror that runs the full height from mantel to ceiling creates a room-expanding effect that works particularly well in rooms with high ceilings. The frame finish should respond to other metal or wood tones in the room.
Can a wall mirror make a small room look larger?
Yes — a large mirror on a wall facing a window reflects natural light and the perception of space, making a room appear significantly larger and brighter. Positioning a mirror to reflect a garden, a window, or another room creates a sense of depth. In a narrow hallway, a tall mirror on the end wall extends the visual length of the space. The effect is strongest when the mirror is large and the frame is relatively thin or simple.
