Hardly any piece of furniture changes a room as quickly and effectively as a large mirror. It brings light into dark hallways, makes small rooms appear larger and at the same time makes a strong design statement. This is particularly impressive with a baroque mirror by Casa Padrino: hand-carved frames, gold leaf or silver finish and magnificent ornaments turn every mirror into a true work of art on the wall.

Why baroque mirrors work so well in Düsseldorf homes

Many apartments in Düsseldorf – whether in Oberkassel, Flingern or Derendorf – have long hallways, high ceilings and rooms with only one window. This is exactly where a baroque mirror plays to its strengths: it reflects daylight, creates depth and becomes an eye-catcher at the same time. A magnificent wall mirror above a baroque console in the entrance area welcomes guests with a touch of palace atmosphere – and offers one last check before heading out to the Königsallee or the Old Town.

Gold, silver or black – the right frame colour

The colour of the frame largely determines the effect:

• Gold: The classic for festive, warm rooms. Perfect with cream, beige and brown tones.
• Silver: Cooler and more modern – ideal in combination with grey, white and blue.
• Black: An exciting contrast in modern apartments. Black baroque frames look elegant and at the same time a little extravagant.

Wall mirror, floor mirror or round mirror?

A large wall mirror works well above chests of drawers, fireplaces and sideboards. A floor mirror is the perfect choice for dressing rooms and bedrooms – here it offers function and elegance at the same time. Round baroque mirrors loosen up strict wall surfaces and fit particularly well in bathrooms, guest toilets or above a small side table.

Styling tips

• Place the mirror so that it reflects a window, a chandelier or a beautiful piece of furniture.
• Above a baroque chest of drawers , a classic, harmonious ensemble is created.
• Two baroque wall lights to the left and right of the mirror provide atmospheric light in the evening.
• In modern rooms, a single large baroque mirror is enough as a statement – the rest can stay simple.

Conclusion

A baroque mirror is much more than a practical everyday object: it is a light source, a room enlarger and an art object in one.
