A fireplace mantle can be a great place to add a wall mirror. Wall mirrors positioned higher up a wall can add additional height and make a room appear much larger. Placing a mirror high up on the wall can look funny without some sort of wainscoting to frame in the mirror, which are why mantles are ideal when it comes to featuring a mirror.
There are various types of mirrors you can use to decorate a fireplace mantle; you can choose different shapes, finishes, period styles and sizes. The most commonly shaped mirror above a mantle is a rectangular or square one. Many people choose this shape because it matches the mantle itself. If the wall space is quite tall, finding a rectangular mirror that can fill the space well would work best. A round mirror provides a contrasting shape to the overall shape of the fireplace. Finding the just right wall mirror for your fireplace mantle will go a far way of opening up your living area.
