mirror for above my dresser

4 years ago

I'm thinking of a black framed rectangular mirror for the wall above my dresser to modernize the look and tie in with the handles on the dresser and the black headboard. How wide and how long should I be looking for would a 2" frame look nice or should it be narrower? I also have a black dresser I could switch to. The dresser is 63" long x 38" high. The black dresser is 2" taller. The tree is gone felt it looked crowded.

Thank you all, The night stand lamps sit on the night stands and a matching pair. The wall where the high boy dresser (my husband's dresser) is is not wide enough for my dresser and the TV is mounted above the high dresser so switching dressers isn't doable. Mimipadv, maybe I need to get a taller lamp for my dresser (or do away with it all together) ?

Do you have mirror(s) in bathroom? If so, I suggest no mirror over dresser. I would hang something that makes me smile in the morning. That’s when I need it the most. Is there any color in this room or all neutrals? The dresser has a Frank Lloyd Wright look about it style-wise. Look for a print of Falling Water. It is his famous house in Pennsylvania.

Agree with Patricia, a mirror there is really not very useful, it won't work for putting on makeup or viewing yourself after dressing, put some pretty arched windows with a wreath or a framed print there. I'd opt for a large rectangular mirror attached to your closet door or one that can lean against the wall in the corner to the right of the closet door.

I think it’s fine with nothing. I have more space than that above mine, once I got the rest of the room decorated, it didn’t feel so bare. Love your light fixture!
