Collection: Rectangle Mirrors

Rectangle Mirrors — The Most Versatile Shape in the House

Arches make a statement and rounds soften a room, but the rectangle is the workhorse of mirror design — the shape that fits everywhere, suits every style, and never dates. Hung portrait it adds height to a wall; hung landscape it stretches a room wide; leaned against the wall it brings relaxed, full-length glamour. Elegant Collections' rectangle mirrors range from slim metal frames in black and gold to ornate French Provincial and beaded designs, in sizes from compact to full-wall XXL.

Pair with: console tables | buffets & sideboards | candle holders | table décor.

Visit our Melbourne showrooms or Sydney showroom to see the full size range in person. Open 7 days, no appointment needed.

Portrait, Landscape, or Leaning?

Portrait (vertical): The right call above consoles and in hallways — it draws the eye upward and adds perceived ceiling height. This is also the orientation for checking your outfit.

Landscape (horizontal): Made for wide walls — above a buffet, a sideboard, or a bedhead. A landscape mirror visually widens the room and reflects more of it, doubling the sense of space.

Leaning: An oversized rectangle leaned against the wall is the most relaxed way to use one — instant designer look in a bedroom or living room corner. Lean at a slight angle on a non-slip base, and secure the top to the wall with a safety strap or bracket, especially around children.

Choosing the Size

Small (around 80×100cm) suits powder rooms, above consoles, and gallery-style pairings. Large (100×150cm+) carries a feature wall or a landscape placement above a sideboard. Extra-large and full-length rectangles (170cm+) work leaning or hung in bedrooms, entries and dressing areas — as a rule, buy one size larger than your first instinct; undersized mirrors are the most common styling mistake we see.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rectangle Mirrors

Should I hang a rectangle mirror vertically or horizontally?
Match the wall: tall narrow walls and console placements suit portrait; wide walls above buffets and bedheads suit landscape. There's no wrong answer structurally — most of our rectangle mirrors can hang either way.

Can I lean a large mirror instead of hanging it?
Yes — leaning is a popular designer look. Set it on a non-slip surface at a slight angle, and anchor the top edge to the wall with a strap or bracket so it can't tip, particularly in homes with children or pets.

What size rectangle mirror should I buy?
Above furniture, roughly two-thirds the furniture's width. On an open wall, larger than instinct suggests — a mirror that's too small for its wall looks like an afterthought.

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?
