Contemporary Mirrors
Contemporary mirrors are bold and innovative. By charismatically fusing form and function, contemporary mirrors can easily become the signature piece of a room.
What makes it Contemporary?
Contemporary mirrors are true to contemporary style; free of any fuss or frill, their shape remains simple and streamlined. They add interest by using unexpected textures or finishes and by focusing on form and shape. Contemporary styling is defined by its concise simplicity and a perfect balance of form with function. It’s no mistake to say that contemporary mirrors reflect this balance. By focusing interest on the materials used, there is no need for cluttered adornment.
Characteristics
You will find deliberate lines in contemporary mirrors. Textures are always bold—either sleek and smooth or sharp and intentional. Metallic finishes such as nickel, copper and chrome are often used, as are pale woods with little graining. If edging is slender, it is still substantial. Beveled mirror surfaces and unexpected turns in traditional shapes are examples of eye-catching contemporary innovation.
Care
The easiest and best way to clean contemporary mirrors is with a soft clean cloth and just a little warm water. You should avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning. Never spray or moisten mirrors directly; rather, moisten the cleaning cloth. Keeping the mirror’s frame dry is the reason behind the extra care. If the frame’s edge is perpetually moist, the back of the mirror might break down. Using a little bit of caution will go a long way to extend the life and beauty of a contemporary mirror.
Freshness is one trademark of contemporary mirrors. Just like any great work of contemporary art, you may be pleasantly surprised to feel that you are seeing a contemporary mirror for the first time, each time you look at it. |
