Rectangular Mirrors That Add Structure and Style

Rectangular mirrors are a design staple for a reason: they’re versatile, timeless and easy to layer into nearly any room, leaning against a wall or mounted above a console or dresser.

Clean lines, clear impact

This pair offers two distinct options: one bold and grounded with a thick frame, and one more detailed and delicate with a thin, patterned edge. Together or on their own, they bring structure and polish.

Pro tip: Hang a rectangular mirror vertically to add height to a room, or horizontally above a long console or dresser to widen the wall.

Frequently asked questions

How big should a mirror be above a console?

Choose a mirror about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the console, and hang it 6 to 10 inches above the surface.

Do mirrors make a room look bigger?

Yes. Mirrors bounce light and reflect the room, especially when placed across from or beside a window.
