Convex mirrors may not present a true image but they sure do present a statement! Especially if you choose the right frame for your dcor. There are metal frames, wood frames, plastic frames, and even no frames. There are ornately detailed frames, Gesso frames, gilt frames, and molded frames.

Those with no frame often have been beautifully hand painted. Of course flowers are always popular but nautical scenes like lighthouses and dolphins also look great.

And of course depending on your room you could try something fun and funky like zebra stripes or perhaps a southwestern theme. Remember you are only ever limited by your imagination.

There are many different ways you can use this technique....
