You Got Your Framed Mirror Samples... Now What?

As convenient as internet shopping can be, there’s something to be said for holding a material in your hands and seeing it in its designated space. Ordering frame samples before finalizing your custom mirror frame order is the best way to ensure you’ll love your chosen material and color. Plus, at just $1.00 a piece, it’s a low-risk way to try out a few different styles before making a final decision.

If you have received your frame samples—congratulations! You’ve made a smart, conscientious design decision. That’s step one… but now what? If you’re choosing between a few favorite styles, don’t panic if a clear winner doesn’t immediately emerge. It might take a little while to decide which mirror frame looks right in your space, and that’s okay.

Whether you’re choosing a standard size or customizing the exact dimensions, here’s how to pick the best frame for your space: 

• Think About the Style You Want.

  Are you drawn to clean and minimal or something warm and traditional? Maybe you want a mirror that adds softness to a bold room or one that makes a subtle statement. Choose a frame that complements the tone of your space.

• Compare Samples With Nearby Finishes.

  Place your samples near your wall, floor, or surrounding furniture. Instead of just holding them up, prop them against the wall where your mirror will go so you can see how the frame interacts with nearby colors and materials.

• View the Finish in Different Lighting

  Lighting plays a big role in how a finish reads. A warm brass might lean darker in the evening, while a light frame might reflect more color than expected during the day. Be sure to check the samples in both natural and artificial light.

• See the Frame as Part of Your Decor

  A framed mirror is more than just functional. It is a design element that adds polish and intention to the space. Think of it as artwork that also happens to reflect your space beautifully.
