Shapes of Mirrors
     Shapes that mirrors come in are almost endless, limited only by the ability to cut the glass. The shape of a mirror should depend on the dimensions of the room, the style of the furnishings, and the preferences of the consumer. Mirrors can also be trimmed to fit snugly next to existing architectural moldings, such as ogee moldings.

Standard mirror shapes include:

  • Architectural (rectangular mirror with a curved top)
  • Circular
  • Octagonal
  • Oval
  • Rectangular
  • Square

     Mirrors can also be framed to suit the taste of the consumer. Some standard materials for framing include a variety of woods, metal, and plastic.

     Door mirrors can come in a variety of thicknesses and styles to adorn the back of a bedroom, bath or closet door. Choices include the simple pencil edge or the more upscale half-inch bevel in various sizes. Door mirrors can be framed or unframed depending on the taste of the consumer. Door mirrors are typically rectangular in shape.
