For anyone who loves metals, mixing textures…
I believe that extra large leaning floor mirrors can add beauty and bold design to any room of a home.

With tall ceilings and larger rooms than my previous house, it was a no-brainer that extra large mirrors would be making an appearance to keep everything at the appropriate scale and proportion. There are so many reasons that mirrors are one of my favorite decor pieces to use in any space. One of the main reasons is that oversized…
