Description
A round wall mirror, 80cm by 80cm, in black. Round softens a room of straight lines without adding pattern, and it is the easiest shape to place because it has no wrong orientation. At 80cm it is about as wide as a standard interior door. A mirror is the one piece of decoration that gives something back: it doubles whatever light the room already has, and on the wall opposite a window it does more for a dark room than repainting it would.
Dark surfaces show dust and light surfaces show marks. Which is the easier problem depends entirely on the room, and dust is usually the easier one. Stainless steel resists corrosion through its own chemistry rather than a coating, so there is no finish to chip and nothing underneath waiting to rust when it does.
It hangs on a triangle hook. The triangle plate hangs from one point, which makes it easy to level but concentrates the load. At this weight use a picture hook rated for it, or better a screw and anchor rather than a pin. It hangs horizontally as well as vertically, so it suits either wall. It weighs 6.5kg.
A narrow surround keeps the mirror as light and space rather than turning it into a framed object, which is what a heavy border does. In a small room that difference is the whole effect. Hang the centre at eye level rather than centring it on the wall. On most walls that is lower than instinct suggests, and it is the difference between a mirror you use and one you only look at.
