An arched brass mirror works best where a full rectangular mirror would feel heavy: above a bathroom vanity, in a powder room, in an entryway, or over a console or dresser. Its tall, narrow shape and slim frame add height and warmth without overwhelming the wall.
1. Above a bathroom vanity
The classic spot. Center the mirror over the sink and flank it with a pair of wall lights for even, flattering light. An arched brass frame looks especially good against travertine, marble and warm plaster. See it in place on our arched brass wall mirror with reeded frame.
2. A pair over a double vanity
Instead of one wide mirror, hang two arched mirrors, one centered over each basin. The repetition feels tailored and calm, and each person gets their own reflection. Our guide to choosing the right mirror size helps you get the spacing right.
3. In a powder room
Small rooms are perfect for a statement. Set a compact arched mirror against a fluted wood or tiled wall and add a single sconce to one side for a boutique-hotel feel.
4. In an entryway or hallway
A mirror by the front door bounces light into narrow spaces and gives you a last look before heading out. Hang it above a slim console with a bowl for keys and a small vase of branches.
5. Over a console table or dresser
In a living room or bedroom, an arched mirror above a console or dresser draws the eye upward and frames the objects below. Layer brass candlesticks, books and ceramics for a collected look.
