need help finding the perfect mirror

11 years ago
I'm not sure what kind of mirror to use on top of this cabinet, since it's a little busy.

    Check out uttermost.com. I don't think they actually sell their mirrors but if you see one you like, google the name and you'll find tons of websites that sell it.

    I'm leaning towards a sircular mirror

    Horchow.com may have something you like.

    What budget are you working with for the mirror?

    Also, what's the size of the credenza?

    Have you thought of doing a collage of several mirrors, all different?

    This one from Z Gallerie may work too....it comes in a 32" or 54" (which may be too large?).

    I like the third one Avery posted from Horchow. That just might look pretty cool with your furniture.

    This one from horchow would be nice.

    A mirror this shape is quite nice with your cabinet.

    this is actually foe a friend of mine, but she wants a rectangular mirror, what do you think will look best? a round or rectangular?

    I prefer the one that I photoshopped because it references the pattern on the bottom of the cabinet. That being said if she didn't like the shape I posted then I would choose a round mirror and something in a sliver gilt finish.

    the credenza is about 60" long or a little longer, not sure.

    where can i find a mirror like the one Mark posted?
  • 11 years ago
    I know that she likes that shape Mark, but she thought it was going to look too busy.
    that's actually the one I told her to pick in the biginning.

    She knows what she likes and that's a good thing:) Maybe if you show her the photoshopped image she might think differently. If not have her browse through the mirrors here. https://www.onekingslane.com/art-mirrors/mirrors?display_grid=3&page=0

    They have lovely mirrors.

    where is that mirror from Mark?
    maybe we can see the dimension

    I was browsing Uttermost and went right to the shaped mirrors, thinking like Mark - to mimic the furniture pattern in large scale. But, then, I saw that big white flower mirror Avery posted in a pic near a pic of the furniture, and it really resonated for me. Looked like a very interesting combo. The size of that big white flower is 40+ inches, so that would be a nice size with the furniture. Not at all what I had in mind originally, but maybe my favorite suggestion so far.

    @celiarijo,

    I was close to suggesting that same mirror Mark posted as well....but did not since the OP noted that she thought the design on the cabinet was a "little busy" in the initial post.

    That shape of mirror can be found at both Horchow and ZGallerie plus I'm sure several other places.

    Mark, that's wonderful! I never would have thought of a suggestion like that one, but it's stunning. Wonderful suggestion Avery! I agree, I'd run to buy that mirror (and it's on a big sale).

  • 11 years ago
    thank you so much everyone, I'm loving your suggestions.
  • 11 years ago
    hi Mark would you be able to tell the brand of the first mirror you showed me?
    she decided to go with that one.
    thanks
  • 11 years ago

    Celiarijo, please consider the size carefully before ordering. You'll want to make sure it will look like Mark's rendering in size. Mark did the rendering before you mentioned the size of the furniture, so please verify the scale will be good.

    IMHO, the second mirror provides a more interesting combination with the cabinet. It coordinates well, yet has its own impact. It tones down the cabinet. The first mirror (almost exactly the same shape as the pattern is the mirrored cabinet) looks too matchy-matchy for my taste, and looks like it was bought as a set.

  • 11 years ago
    Thanks mark for all the photoshop work you do because you are kind!
  • 11 years ago
    she likes this one.
    it's silver

    celiarijo The mirror I posted is from https://www.onekingslane.com/product/30471/1158769

    The mirror is 36 x36 inches and silver, more silver than I realized. The second one I photoshopped as suggested by Avery is 40 inch diameter and is quite stunning with your cabinet and is on sale for $259.00 reg. $400.00. and it can be bought at http://www.horchow.com/Chantal-Pearlescent-Mirror/cprod103550003_cat000092__/p.prod?icid=&searchType=EndecaDrivenCat&rte=%252Fcategory.service%253FitemId%253Dcat000092%2526pageSize%253D30%2526No%253D90%2526Ns%2

    I am happy she liked my suggestion but my main purpose on here is to make sure that lovely people such as yourself make the best choices they can. I do have to say that my choice would not be the one I photoshopped first but the one suggested by Avery from Horchow. The decision is for her to make of course and what ever she decides I hope that she loves the end result. Have a great day !

    thank you so much Mark, you are very kind.
  • 11 years ago

    Your very welcome !

    I do like the quatrefoil mirror shape - classic shape
  • 11 years ago
    that's my favorite too, but she doesn't like it all, she likes contemporary .
  • 11 years ago
    I can see that. The mirror you just posted is very Art Deco

    Something like the pic below...these may compliment the multiple mirrored doors and once you flank with lamps and add accessories, it could be a real focal point.

    I like your very first round mirror. The simple line, circular shape, and color coordinate well. It seems like you don't want the mirror to compete with the lines in the credenza so keep it simple. You can add drama from season to season or scale back to this simple mirror as it suits your whims. You won't be stifled by one style that way.

  • 11 years ago

    I'm not sure this newest round one works with the furniture. I'm a bit surprised she picked the classic furniture if her taste leans toward the very contemporary mirror.

  • 11 years ago
    Mark could you photoshop the one I suggested just out of curiosity? It's ok if you don't want to I won't be mean! Haha.

    is it possible to put a fence in your front yard with an entry gate? if building codes permit this, then I would do this to create a new "entry". I would not enclose the front yard. the fence should be limited to create a court yard. from the gate entry, you could use a colored gravel to create a short path to your front door. you could border the outside of the fence with beds of flowers, and grow vines and climbing roses on the fence. I think that I would extend the full length of your house since that would make your place seem more like a cottage. you might put an arbor over the gate for the roses and vines to cover. I would probably incorporate a bell at the gate for guests to use to advise you of their arrival.

    Kelley, wrong dilemma, maybe?
