Collection: Contemporary Mirrors

Contemporary Mirrors — Modern Statement Pieces That Transform Light and Space

A contemporary mirror does two jobs at once: it's the most effective tool in interior design for amplifying natural light and visually doubling a space, and it's a sculptural statement in its own right. Elegant Collections' contemporary range favours clean geometry, slim metal frames in gold, black and silver, and asymmetric silhouettes that read as wall art — designed for modern Australian homes where every piece earns its place.

Pair with: a console table beneath | table décor | candle holders | mirrored furniture.

Visit our Melbourne showrooms or Sydney showroom to see the scale and finish in person — mirror proportions are hard to judge on a screen. Open 7 days, no appointment needed.

Where a Contemporary Mirror Works Hardest

Opposite or beside a window — never facing a blank wall. A mirror is only as good as what it reflects; placed to catch a window, it effectively adds a second source of daylight to the room.

Above a console: The mirror should be roughly two-thirds the width of the console beneath it, hung with 15–25cm between the console top and the mirror's bottom edge. Browse our console mirrors sized for exactly this.

In the hallway: A generous mirror near the entry is both practical (the last-look-before-leaving) and makes a narrow hallway feel dramatically wider.

The dining room: Positioned to reflect the table and pendant lighting, a large mirror doubles the sense of occasion at dinner.

Choosing the Frame Finish

Gold warms a room and pairs naturally with brass hardware, warm timbers and neutral palettes. Black is architectural — it sharpens a contemporary space and anchors light-coloured walls. Silver is the quiet all-rounder, cooler in tone, at home with greys, whites and marble. Match the mirror's frame to the two most dominant metal finishes already in the room, not to everything.

Frequently Asked Questions — Contemporary Mirrors

What size mirror should I hang above a console table?
Roughly two-thirds the width of the console. A 120cm console suits a mirror of 75–85cm wide. Hang it with 15–25cm of wall visible between the console top and the mirror's lower edge.

How high should a wall mirror be hung?
Centre the mirror at average eye level — approximately 145–150cm from the floor to the mirror's centre. Above furniture, let the furniture set the height instead using the gap rule above.

How do I clean a mirror without streaks?
A microfibre cloth with a small amount of glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth, not the mirror — spraying directly can seep behind the frame edge and damage the backing over time. Wipe in an S-pattern, not circles.

Are these mirrors ready to hang?
Our wall mirrors come with hanging hooks fitted or included. Wall anchors, fixings and mounting hardware are supplied by your installer to suit your wall type — and for large or heavy mirrors we recommend professional installation rather than hanging them yourself.

How long does delivery take?
Metropolitan Melbourne and Sydney — typically within 7 business days, with delivery cost calculated at checkout. Regional and interstate delivery is also available: standard shipping is calculated at checkout, and XL and XXL mirrors are bulky-goods items that can be quoted via accounts@elegantcollections.com.au before ordering.
