Arched vs. scalloped vs. windowpane
Arched mirrors feel soft and classic; scalloped frames add a playful, decorative edge; windowpane mirrors mimic an old cottage window and read more rustic. Match the finish to your room — warm gold for soft cottage, black for moody farmhouse.
Size it to the wall, not the table
A common mistake is a mirror that's too small. Aim for a mirror roughly two-thirds the width of the console or mantel beneath it, hung so the center sits near eye level.
FAQ
Are these heavy to hang? The metal-framed windowpane styles are fairly light; the larger arched mirrors need a proper wall anchor. Check each listing's weight and included hardware.
Will a gold frame look too glam for cottagecore? An antique or brushed gold reads warm and vintage, not flashy — it's the bright, shiny golds to avoid.
