Commercial Wall Mirror Size Matters
Mirror size is important to both design and functionality. A small mirror on a dance studio wall looks out of place and doesn’t meet the dancers’ needs. Conversely, a smaller accent mirror on a small lobby wall may be more aesthetically pleasing than a large mirror.
There are times when mirrors play with the perception of openness. A large mirror on the far wall of a shallow room gives the illusion of space, while smaller mirrors tactfully grouped in a large room offer a sense of order.
When thinking of how to pick the right size wall mirror consider its intended purpose. Are you looking for it to:
- Blend in?
- Stand out?
- Enhance lighting?
- Serve a function?
The Versatility of Commercial Wall Mirrors
Commercial mirrors help set wall space apart while providing function. With a variety of colors and types, commercial wall mirrors can be used to add flair to a space, create a sense of openness, and even improve security.
