Dungarrie Black and Cream Mirror

Based on our expertise in furniture care, we recommend dusting the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the intricate black, brass, and cream bone-tone accents. For the glass, use a standard glass cleaner, but apply it directly to the cloth rather than the mirror itself. This prevents liquid from seeping into the frame’s joints or damaging the delicate bone-tone finish. For stubborn spots on the frame, a very mild soap and water solution is sufficient, but always avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads which can dull the brass finish over time.

This mirror serves as a sophisticated focal point that bridges multiple styles. Our design guides suggest coordinating it with other "Modern" elements, such as furniture with clean lines or metallic accents. You can create a cohesive look by pairing the mirror with a brass-finished lamp or a black-toned console table. To enhance the "E-E-A-T" (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) of your room's design, try layering the mirror with wall sconces on either side to illuminate the frame’s unique textures and provide soft, balanced ambient lighting.

Yes, this mirror is an excellent tool for urban apartment living where space may be at a premium. At 44 inches tall, its vertical orientation draws the eye upward, creating the illusion of higher ceilings. Strategically placing a rectangular mirror opposite a window or an open doorway reflects natural light and depth back into the room, effectively "doubling" the perceived square footage of a confined entryway or small living area.

To create a professionally styled look, aim for the "two-thirds" rule: the mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture piece it sits above. With a width of 34 inches, this mirror is perfectly scaled for a 50-to-60-inch console table or sofa. For the best visual balance, we recommend mounting the mirror so its center is at eye level, typically 6 to 10 inches above the top of your furniture.

While the modern brass and black finishes are durable, the cream bone tones and mixed-material design are best maintained in climate-controlled environments. In high-humidity spaces like bathrooms or non-insulated coastal sunrooms, moisture can eventually affect bone inlay or mixed finishes. For those specific environments, we generally suggest mirrors with rust-proof aluminum or specifically sealed moisture-resistant frames.

Because of its substantial size and high-quality construction, we strongly recommend mounting this mirror directly into wall studs for maximum security. If studs are not available in your desired location, use heavy-duty wall hardware such as toggle bolts or snap toggles. Always verify that your chosen hardware is rated for at least twice the weight of the mirror to ensure long-term stability, particularly in high-traffic areas of the home.
