Cheval Mirrors For The Total Beginner

By Chip Klein


Mirrors are easily one of the most handy home furnishings. They can be used to add a bit of light to dark rooms, increase the style of your home, and of course give you a reflection to help you get ready. One of the top choices is what's known as a cheval mirror and here is a fast intro to them.

Unlike the lion's share of other mirror choices out there this type isn't made to be mounted on the wall. Instead it is specifically designed to stand upright on the floor. Because of this they are also sometimes advertised as a cheval floor mirror. To help support themselves they actually use four separate legs. This feature can help you to tell them apart from other options but also means you can move your mirror to wherever please whenever you feel like changing things up a bit.

The color of your mirror's frame can be used to complement the space you are planning to use it. For rooms of the house that have a more classic feel white is often the color of choice. However if you are looking for something to go well in a modern space, a black cheval mirror can do the trick quite well. But of course there are many other colors to pick from. Just be sure to pick something that will look great with the current color scheme of your space.

A mirror with a wooden frame really does add a natural touch of beauty. There are many different types of woods each with their own gorgeous color and characteristics. For example while it may be a little more costly an oak cheval mirror not only is handsome choice but one that also will be tough as nails. Metal frames are another way to go. And with these you can often find very intricate designs.

Since the cheval is such a fantastic looking furnishing it is often used not just for getting dressed but as a centerpiece. An antique cheval mirror is especially adept at this function. Luckily since they have been made for hundreds of years you won't have to look too hard to find one. There are plenty around particularly on the internet and in antique shops.

Having so many different choices you'll never have a problem finding a cheval mirror that you absolutely love. Just take some time and decide on an appropriate material and color and you'll be sure to add function and beauty to your home.
