Devon Loft Walnut Finish Mirror

Safety is a top priority, especially for families. This mirror is designed to be securely attached to its matching dresser using heavy-duty support brackets. For added peace of mind in high-traffic areas or homes with children, our experts recommend also using a furniture anti-tip kit to anchor the entire dresser unit directly to a wall stud. This dual-attachment method provides maximum stability and prevents potential tip-over hazards.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend a two-step approach to maintain the integrity of the materials. For the walnut frame, use a soft, dry lint-free cloth to dust regularly; for deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient—avoid harsh chemical polishes which can cloud the finish over time. For the beveled glass, apply a high-quality glass cleaner to your cloth first rather than spraying the mirror directly. This prevents liquid from seeping behind the frame, which could eventually damage the silvering or the wood.

A mirror of this scale (42" x 35") is a powerful tool for small-space living. By positioning a large mirror opposite a window or near a light source, you can effectively double the natural light in the room, making a compact bedroom or studio feel significantly brighter and more open. The beveled glass edges further enhance this effect by catching and refracting light from multiple angles, adding a sense of depth and architectural interest to the wall.

To maintain a balanced aesthetic, interior designers generally recommend that a mirror should be approximately two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the dresser it sits above. With a width of 42 inches, this rectangular mirror is an ideal scale for dressers ranging from 56 to 63 inches wide. This proportion ensures the mirror feels substantial enough to be functional without overwhelming the furniture piece below it.

Absolutely. While this mirror is part of the Devon Loft collection, its walnut finish and clean-lined, mid-century modern profile make it highly versatile. The "dark wood" family of the walnut finish pairs beautifully with other natural wood tones, as well as neutral grays and beiges. To create a cohesive look across mixed pieces, we recommend coordinating other dark wood accents or metallic hardware throughout the room to tie the different styles together.

In bedroom design, placement is key to creating a restful environment. To maintain a sense of balance and avoid disrupting sleep, it is often recommended to place the mirror on a wall that is not directly opposite the bed. Instead, consider mounting it over a dresser on a side wall or adjacent to a window. This placement allows the mirror to brighten the room during the day without creating distracting reflections while you are trying to rest.
