5. Pointed Lancet Archway Wall Mirror with Distressed Black Frame
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Mirrors are vital in dark rooms for bouncing natural light, but standard rectangular frames can feel too conventional. A large wall mirror custom-built or sourced in the shape of a Gothic lancet arch introduces historic cathedral geometry.
How to Make It
Hang a tall wall mirror featuring a pointed gothic arch top on your main living room wall. Choose a frame finished in distressed matte black wood or rusted iron to give it an antique relic appearance.
Tips
Position the arch mirror opposite a window so it reflects outdoor greenery and natural daylight into your dark living space.
Variations and Essentials
- Variations: Use smoked bronze mirror glass inside the arch frame for a sepia-toned, mysterious reflection.
- Essentials: Lancet arch wall mirror, distressed black frame, heavy-duty wall anchors.
