Though mirrors have been used for personal grooming for centuries, human beings are finding new uses for them every day. Mirrors are increasingly being used to make spaces appear larger and brighter. However, today, the concept of mirrors as art has been steadily gaining ground.
Creating an entire wall gallery with mirrors is an innovative way to fill a blank wall, and create a unique look for a room. All it needs is some creativity, patience, and dedication.
By following these steps, you can design your own artistic mirror gallery
You have to think about the colours you want to use, the ideal style, as it has to blend well with your existing decor, how many you want to use, what type of mirrors, and what your budget should be. SGG Tinted Mirrors are a great idea to use for your mirror gallery, as by combining them with clear mirrors you can create a variety of designs.
While you’re planning the design of your artistic mirror gallery, consider adding a few non-mirror objects like some framed paintings or photos, vintage fabric, and so on for a truly distinct look. Saint-Gobain has some amazing geometric shaped mirrors that you can combine with artwork for your mirror wall gallery.
Once you are done with the planning, get your mirrors and frames ready. Saint-Gobain has a wide array of designer mirrors for you to choose from. There are stunning shapes, like geometric art, abstract shapes, tinted glass, frosted glass, and mirrors of all sizes too.
You can also get custom-made designs to fit your design needs. SGG Aspira mirrors are LED mirrors from Saint-Gobain; combine them with SGG Diamant mirrors, high definition mirrors, or with other mirrors for an exotic visual appeal.
Just lay out all that you want to use for your mirror art on the floor at first. Measure the wall you are going to hang your mirror art on, and use the same dimensions on the floor; use tape to make it easier to understand, and for greater precision.
Different mirrors need to be installed differently - some may need hooks, others plates, trays, screws, or clips, and so on. Talk to a Saint-Gobain representative for information on installation methods for professional guidance.
It is time now to hang or install your mirrors as per your planned layout on your wall. Mark the spots on the wall with a marker pen, and start the installation. Hire a professional if you’re not confident of doing it yourself. It may be better to pay someone to do a proper job rather than get clumsy and make too many holes in your wall.
With a clever combination of different shapes, sizes, and types of mirrors, you can curate a mirror gallery that is unique and dazzling. It can transform your room completely, lending a unique aesthetic appeal and become the showstopper.

Where, and how should I arrange mirrors on the wall for the best looking wall gallery?
Ideally, choose a wall that is opposite to a beautiful view - a window overlooking a garden or even the cityscape, your showcase, or some beautiful paintings and sculptures. Placing them opposite windows will also reflect natural light; along with wall art, you can create a brighter room as well.
Where should you not hang a mirror?
Don’t ever make the mistake of hanging your mirrors across from places that tend to get cluttered - the kitchen, kids’ play areas, spaces you use to store old stuff, like newspapers, or facing bathrooms. Hanging mirrors directly across the front door is also not a good idea.
What are the vastu rules for hanging mirrors?
Mirrors should be placed on northern or eastern walls, and should be a minimum of four to five feet above the floor. Replace broken mirrors immediately, and avoid placing mirrors directly across the bed.
