The Irissa mirror is a frame-less, free floating, tempered glassthat was inspired by the French technique of Verre Eglomise in which artist's literally painted the back of clear glass so that when viewed from the front the painting is brought to life under the depth of the glass. This colorful piece with inspiring words takes that same tempered glass and displays a beveled mirror in front of it. Two strong steel hangers are attached to the back of the mirror for quick and easy vertical installation.

How do I determine if this mirror is the right size for my room?
With a height of 72 inches (6 feet), this mirror is a significant statement piece. A common design rule is that a wall-mounted mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of the furniture below it, such as a console table or sofa. Because this item is designed for vertical installation, it is particularly well-suited for rooms with standard or high ceilings where it can draw the eye upward, creating a sense of grandeur and improved scale.
What is the Verre Eglomise technique mentioned in the description?
This mirror features an artistic finish inspired by the French "Verre Eglomise" technique, where the reverse side of the glass is painted to bring the design to life under the glass's natural depth. By placing a beveled mirror in front of this colorful, tempered glass backing, the piece functions as both a high-quality reflective surface and a piece of contemporary wall art. The beveled edges further enhance the piece by catching and refracting light at the borders.
Can a large rectangular mirror help make a small urban apartment feel larger?
Yes. Utilizing a tall, 72-inch mirror is one of the most effective ways to visually expand a compact living space or a narrow entryway. By reflecting light and extending the sightline, this oversized mirror creates an "internal window" effect. The frameless, free-floating design is especially beneficial for smaller apartments, as it provides a clean, contemporary look that adds depth without the visual bulk of a heavy frame.
What is the best way to clean and maintain a frameless glass mirror?
To preserve the clarity of the beveled mirror and the vibrant colors of the painted glass, our care experts recommend regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth. For smudges or fingerprints, use a mild glass cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water applied directly to the cloth rather than the glass surface. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, which can damage the beveled edges or the specialized tempered glass finish.
How do I safely hang a mirror of this size and weight?
Safety is paramount for a large-scale item like this. This mirror comes equipped with two high-strength steel hangers attached to the back for secure vertical installation. Given its 36" x 72" dimensions and tempered glass construction, we strongly recommend locating wall studs for mounting. If studs are unavailable in your desired location, ensure you use professional-grade heavy-duty wall anchors (such as toggle bolts) rated specifically for the weight of large-format glass decor.
