The Arlia mirror is a gorgeous piece. It is a rectangular mirror with angled corners that gracefully form an elongated octagonal shape. The frame is then trimmed in a gold leaf. The end result is a striking piece perfect (but not limited) for your Modern, Art Deco or Traditional look. It is a perfect focal point for an entryway, bathroom, bedroom or any room in your home. D-rings are affixed to the back of the mirror so it is ready to hang right out of the box in either a vertical or horizontal orientation.

Can this mirror be used in a bathroom with high humidity?
This mirror serves as a beautiful focal point for a bathroom; however, the gold leaf finish is best maintained in well-ventilated environments. In regions with high humidity or in bathrooms with frequent steam, ensure the room has adequate ventilation to prevent moisture from resting on the frame, which helps protect the integrity of the finish for years to come.
Is this mirror ready to hang out of the box?
Yes, this mirror is designed for immediate installation. It comes with sturdy D-rings pre-affixed to the back, providing the versatility to hang it in either a vertical or horizontal orientation right away. This allows you to easily adapt the piece to fit your specific wall space or the dimensions of the furniture it is paired with.
How does the shape and finish of this mirror influence a room's decor style?
The unique silhouette—a rectangular form with angled corners that create an elongated octagon—allows this mirror to bridge several design aesthetics. The gold leaf finish is a hallmark of Traditional and Art Deco styles, while the clean, geometric lines make it a sophisticated addition to Modern or Transitional spaces. It is an excellent choice for adding a touch of formal luxury to a casual room.
How can I safely hang a mirror of this size on drywall?
For the most secure installation, we recommend anchoring the mirror into a wall stud. However, if a stud is not available where you wish to place it, this 24" x 36" mirror can be safely mounted using high-quality drywall anchors, such as toggle bolts or heavy-duty snap toggles, that are rated for the mirror's weight. This ensures the piece remains level and securely fastened to the wall.
How do I clean and maintain the gold finish on this mirror?
To preserve the elegance of the gold leaf finish, we recommend dusting the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Based on our expert care guidelines, if a deeper clean is needed, you should use only a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip or dull the delicate gold leafing over time.
What is the rule of thumb for sizing a mirror over an entry table or console?
A professional design guideline is to choose a mirror that is approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. At 24 inches wide, this mirror is an ideal scale for medium-sized furniture like entryway tables, sideboards, or bedroom dressers. Hanging it in a vertical orientation (36 inches high) can also help draw the eye upward, making ceilings in smaller foyers or apartments feel more expansive.
