Modern mirrors use minimal frames, clean geometric silhouettes, and considered proportions to add reflective surface to a room without decorative excess. Black powder-coated thin frames, frameless beveled edges, brushed brass minimal borders, and round mirrors in simple metal rings all define the modern mirror aesthetic through what they leave out as much as what they include.

Above a console in an entryway, a large round modern mirror in a simple black ring frame doubles the light and adds a clean focal point. In a bedroom, a full-length modern mirror leaned against the wall or mounted low adds presence and function. In a living room, a large rectangular modern mirror above the fireplace reflects the room and reads as architectural detail rather than decoration.

We carry modern mirrors from Hudson Valley Lighting, Arteriors, WAC Lighting, Sonneman, and Visual Comfort Modern Collection. Free shipping on orders over $199 across Canada.

Buying guide
How to Choose Modern Mirrors

Size, placement height, shape, and frame finish determine how a modern mirror reads in a room.

Size it to the wall
A mirror above furniture should span two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the piece below it. For a 48-inch console, look for a mirror 32 to 36 inches wide. In entryways, a larger mirror that fills most of the visual wall reads as intentional. Going larger almost always works better than going smaller.
Set the mounting height
Center wall-mounted mirrors at 57 to 60 inches from the floor for standard eye-level viewing. Above a console, leave 6 to 12 inches between the tabletop and the bottom of the mirror frame. Full-length mirrors should be mounted so the bottom edge is 6 to 12 inches above the floor.
Choose the right shape
Round modern mirrors in thin ring frames suit entryways and living room accent walls. Rectangular mirrors suit fireplaces, dressers, and spaces where horizontal proportion matters. Irregular or faceted forms suit spaces where the mirror is the primary focal point and needs to earn attention without competition.
Position for light
A modern mirror placed opposite a window reflects natural light across the room and makes the space feel larger. Near a light fixture, a mirror scatters and amplifies the artificial light. In dark entryways, a large modern mirror is one of the most effective ways to add perceived brightness without changing any lighting.

Common questions
Modern Mirrors FAQ
What defines modern mirrors?
Modern mirrors use minimal frames, clean geometric silhouettes, and restrained finishes to add reflective surface to a room without decorative excess. Frameless beveled edges, thin metal ring frames, and slim profile borders define the aesthetic through subtraction rather than addition.
What size modern mirror should I hang above a console table?
A mirror above a console should span two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the table. For a 48-inch console, look for a mirror 32 to 36 inches wide. Leave 6 to 12 inches between the tabletop and the bottom of the mirror frame.
What is the difference between a round and rectangular modern mirror?
Round modern mirrors in thin ring frames suit entryways and accent walls where a softer geometric form works better than a hard rectangle. Rectangular mirrors suit fireplaces, dressers, and bathroom vanities where horizontal proportion matters. Both work in living rooms depending on the composition of the wall.
How do I hang a large modern mirror safely?
Mount heavy mirrors into wall studs using appropriate lag screws. For mirrors that do not align with studs, use toggle anchors rated for at least double the mirror weight. Use a French cleat for mirrors over 40 pounds.
Can modern mirrors be used in a bathroom?
Yes. Frameless beveled mirrors and mirrors with moisture-resistant metal frames work well in bathrooms. Avoid untreated wood frames in humid environments.

Yes, we offer free standard shipping across Canada on all orders over $199, including mirrors. Large or heavy mirrors ship with additional protective packaging.
