OvalandRoundMirrors.com Provides a How-To Guide for Hanging Mirrors
Online, December 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Many novice and professional decorators already know that adding a wall mirror to an empty wall can brighten up any room and provide an added touch of elegance. At OvalandRoundMirrors.com, online customers can browse through an amazing array of wall mirrors in all shapes and sizes. Not only can customers find prefabricated mirrors, they will also be able to order a custom mirror to fit any size wall. Once that mirror is delivered, the task now becomes properly hanging it. OvalandRoundMirrors.com rises to the challenge by providing a thorough how-to guide on hanging wall mirrors. This guide is based on their years of experience in this home decorating area.
The how-to guide available on OvalandRoundMirrors.com suggests that, as with any hanging project, complete measurements should be taken of the mirror itself and of the wall space to determine the best position for that mirror. It is suggested that a small pencil mark can be used as a placement point for where the mirror is being considered to be hung. Once this point has been determined, the mirror hanger needs to factor in the give-and-take of the wire or hook used to hang the mirror.
The how-to guide on the company's website also breaks down the various options for hanging hardware. The mirror owner will have to choose between hooks, screws or brackets depending upon the size and weight of the mirror. For larger mirrors, it is recommended that more than one person take part in the mirror hanging effort.
Of course, there's also the opportunity for a homeowner or apartment dweller to measure a wall space to help decide what could be the best shape of mirror for their needs. Mirrors don't just have to be squares. It might also be decided that a variety of smaller mirror could create a sophisticated look along one wall or hallway.
Mirror hangers are also cautioned not to hang a heavy mirror with a small nail or hook. Although it might look like that hardware is holding initially, over time, the weight of that mirror can cause a fracture in the plaster of the wall, which can lead to a mirror falling and breaking, and seven years of bad luck!
