Picture frames are an easy way to create a focal point in any room and put an unused wall to work. After all, what better than your favorite memories to catch some eyeballs? Having said that, it’s easy to go overboard with frames, especially in compact spaces which tend to look stuffy and cramped if overdone.
Beveled mirror picture frames are just what you need for your small apartment. The mirror finish reflects light making the space appear bigger and brighter. And the slant edge on the bevel really adds the ‘pop out’ effect to the pictures. Win-Win! Beveled mirror picture frames are available in a gamut of configurations. Here are a few tips to make your shopping decision easier.
Glass is the unanimous first choice when it comes to a mirror finish. It offers a superior quality, unblemished mirror surface. The light reflection is top notch. And let’s face it. Glass is ethereal. Some frames have layered edges alternating between a mirrored finish and antique stained glass.
But glass is delicate. It is prone to surface scratches and finger smudges. Not to mention that an accidental bump will send it crashing. Definitely not ideal for a busy household or one with kids.
Metal is a much safer bet. It is durable, can be polished to achieve the same finish as glass and is easier to clean.
Silver, for example is a great choice for a beveled mirror picture frame. It is elegant and timeless. So is stainless steel. The caveat is that it can be heavy and exposure to moisture can wreak havoc with the finish in little time.
Wood is not commonly used in beveled mirror frames. But there’s no reason why you can’t bend the rules. A wooden frame makes for a sturdy and durable base. You can add a beveled metallic edge to it to create a great contrast.
Hang it at eye level, not more than four feet above the ground. This maximizes reflection and creates the illusion of a bigger space. Always measure the wall, the size of the frames and the distance of the hanging cord or hook from the top of the frame to ensure that you position it evenly on the wall.
The photograph in a beveled frame can be swapped for a mirror too. Take your dressing table mirror for example. Add a beveled edge to it to turn it into a functional conversation piece.
The frame can be a wall-mounted one or a freestanding one. Freestanding ones are ideal for use in side tables or center tables in a living room. A wall mounted installation will be a more permanent fixture. So ensure that you narrow down on a good place before hammering those nails in the wall.
