Mirrors Montreal

As a general rule, a wall mirror hung above furniture should span roughly two-thirds the width of the piece beneath it. For a console table or sideboard in a typical Montreal living room, that usually means a mirror between 90 and 120 cm wide. In compact condo spaces, a single large wall mirror of 100 cm or wider reflects light and visually deepens the room, creating the effect of an additional window. Visit Mobilart's showroom at 8260 Devonshire, Mont-Royal, where our design consultants offer complimentary guidance on proportions before you select.

Above a console table, sideboard, or fireplace mantel are the three most effective placements, each creating an immediate focal point and reinforcing the room's central axis. Positioning mirrors in Montreal apartments opposite a window maximizes natural light by reflecting it across the room, which is especially valuable where south-facing exposure is limited. As a general height guide, center the mirror at approximately 145 to 150 cm from the floor, adjusting slightly lower when the furniture beneath it is low-profile.

For a mirror above a dresser or bedroom console, the same proportional guideline applies as in other rooms: the mirror should span approximately two-thirds of the furniture's width to feel balanced rather than undersized. A full-length or floor mirror benefits from at least 12 inches of wall clearance on each side to maintain visual breathing room. Vertically oriented luxury mirrors create the impression of greater ceiling height in compact bedrooms. Visit our Montreal showroom to experience scale against your furniture in person.

Dust the glass and frame regularly with a soft, lint-free or microfibre cloth. When cleaning, apply a mild glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying the mirror directly, which keeps moisture away from the frame. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive cleaners on gold leaf, gilded or delicately finished frames. Beveled edges and polished metals benefit from gentle wiping, so a light touch preserves the finish. This approach to mirror care keeps the glass and frame in their best condition.

The collection offers gold leaf, beveled glass, polished metals, and intricate wood frames, and our designer mirrors are sourced from John Richard, Uttermost, and Bernhardt. Finish ties a mirror to the room around it: a gold leaf mirror or warm metal complements existing brass tones, while cooler polished metals suit sleeker schemes. Intricate wood frames add character to classic interiors, whereas a beveled glass mirror with a clean frame keeps the focus on reflection.
