Originality of the shape: Diamond modern mirror Cattelan Italia
One of the characteristics that make a mirror modern can be its shape. Today it is possible to find mirrors with classic shapes (rectangular, square, oval), with sinuous and original lines (abstract shapes, of animals and plants) or with shapes to say the least whimsical for those who want to give a touch of panache to the entrance of the house.
Having said that, it all depends on personal preferences and on the result to be obtained. An optimal solution in this sense is represented by the modern mirror Diamond Cattelan Italia which, with its original design and attention to detail, can embellish everything that surrounds it.
The shapes of a mirror can be many. That of Diamond is very particular because it recalls that of a diamond, which is the most precious stone that exists in nature. Like this gem, Diamond will be able to reflect the warmest glow, thanks to the mirrored crystal it is made of. It can be positioned at the entrance, in the living room or in the bedroom, both horizontally and vertically.
With or without frame? Bonaldo Hang up modern mirror
First of all, we specify that when we are in the presence of a small room, it is preferable to opt for a modern mirror without a frame. The latter does not help if the intent is also to give depth to the space. An important frame can make a small space heavy. Therefore, it is advisable to carefully evaluate the location of the mirror within the chosen context and the impact it has on the overall view of the space.
In the case of large spaces, on the other hand, modern mirrors are preferred with the frame since this, especially when it comes to design mirrors, is an added value, capable of increasing the aesthetic value of the environment.
Indeed, this is what happens when we choose the modern Bonaldo Hang up mirror. Indeed, Hang up is one of those large wall mirrors capable of giving dynamism thanks to the play of shapes. The shape of the mirror itself is rectangular, but the mirrored part is positioned irregularly with respect to its frame, giving movement to the wall on which it is placed.

Combining different styles: Tonin Casa Dreamy modern mirror
Even a modern mirror can have its own style: minimal, rustic, Scandinavian, shabby, just to name a few. Similarly, in terms of decorations, the possibilities are many because according to the style of the mirror you can have decorations and ornaments of various kinds, bright colours or turning to neutral. A modern mirror can be simply essential and linear, devoid of any design or embroidery.
The choice must therefore be the result of a compromise between personal preference, the style of the environment and the result you want to achieve. After having evaluated everything well, the mirror will prove to be an instrument of charm, capable of making a home bright and welcoming.
Equipped with a chromed metal frame and wood and fabric inserts, Tonin Casa Dreamy modern mirror is a fitting example of how a mirror is capable of embellishing a space.

The importance of sizes: large Fiam Phantom wall mirror
Another factor that should not be underestimated is the size of a mirror in relation to the environment. These in fact must necessarily depend on the space. So you will have to opt for a small mirror if the division that will host it will be small, such as a bathroom or a walk-in closet.
Otherwise, in the presence of usually larger and brighter environments such as a living room or a bedroom, we can indulge ourselves by choosing large wall mirrors. In fact, in these latter mentioned divisions, the mirror will play respectively a furnishing role or functional visual extension of the space, and a role in relation to body care.

Variety in materials: Pashà Cattelan Italia
A modern mirror can be made by combining different materials, such as ceramic, metal, wood, leather and many others. These combinations play a significant role in defining the style of a mirror: the results that can be obtained are many, each of which can be adapted to one or more furnishing styles.
