I personally prefer the first one as it's an unusual and attractive shape. Cream would not stand out against the wall. The room looks nice. You do not have to have everything in a particular style, just choose things that you really like. Just my opinion. Good luck.

Hi thorpesa, I can see why you went for it, it looks really nice. But if you have it and don't like it I would suggest you sell it on. Someone is going to love it just as it is. You could end up titivating it yet still not love it and then it would be more difficult to sell. So, look for something you really like then when you are ready buy the new mantel or stove, and sell this piece. I hope that's helpful?

I had this issue when we moved into our house :) The original mirror that we had was a rectangular one. This actually got cracked during the move, and I even took it to the local glazier and for £40 had it all made good again. We'd always had a rectangular, so we didn't think of changing. Then whilst out, I came across this round mirror and instantly wanted it. IMO there is absolutely no contest in which one I prefer. (round one if you're guessing) I'd never even considered a round mirror as an option - but I bought it, hoping that it would be ok as I had nowhere else to put it should I not like it. I don't know how this will help you in your question - but just go with what you like. Bang a nail in, and if you don't like it, change it, if you still don't like it, hang a picture on it - be flexible, When you find something - you'll know that it's correct.

What a lovely room. I would probably go for a round gold mirror in that space but it’s a matter of preference. Gold would add some nice warmth to the film. At the very least something with curves like the overmantle piece poster above would look good. I’m useless with photoshop but this kind of size..!
