Tips for Choosing Beveled Mirrors

Bevels add a very significant change in the look of a mirror, making them an important decorative element for almost any room. Beveled mirrors come in a variety of shapes, designs and materials, which is why it's important that their style and look complement the existing theme and design of the room. The following are some of the materials and styles of bevels and the kind of effect they can have on your rooms.

• Wide but plain metal bevels give mirrors a classic contemporary look both in matte and polished finishes.
• Pewter and brass finishes, as well as intricate carvings on metal mirror bevels, suit a room with a vintage theme.
• Wooden bevels, on the other hand, give mirrors a more homey and relaxed country feel.
• Fancy bevels with unusual designs, such as small pieces of mirrors, stained glass and faux jewels, work well in rooms with an Art Deco design.
• Thin bevels, regardless of material, give mirrors versatility, as they go well with most types of room designs.
