Best Gold Mirrors: Brushed, Vintage and Full Length Gold Frames Compared

If the rectangle feels too hard, the Brightify oval gives the same practical frame with a softer outline. It is a solid aluminum alloy frame with a gold powder-coated finish described as corrosion-resistant and anti-rust, around shatterproof float glass.

Its best feature is the size range. The listing says this oval comes in 12 sizes from 20 by 30 to 30 by 60 inches, and in black and silver too, so you can match one mirror to a powder room and a larger one to the main bath in the same design.

It comes fully assembled with six expansion anchors, six screws and two wall brackets, and hangs vertically or horizontally. Hung lengthwise over a wide, low wall, it suits a dining room or a bedroom as easily as a bathroom.

The Sweetcrispy is the inexpensive way to get a gold arch over a sink. It is 24 by 36 inches with a thin brushed aluminum frame that the listing describes as moisture-proof and rust-proof, which is what you want in a bathroom, and the glass is HD and shatterproof.

The frame is slim, so the effect is a fine gold line around the arch rather than a heavy frame. That suits a small bathroom or a modern room. On a large blank wall, a slim frame can look under-sized, and the HARRITPURE below will fill it better.

The listing does not say how it hangs or what it weighs, so check the hardware when it arrives. At this tier it is a good test of whether you like a gold arch before you spend more.

For a living room, an entryway or above a dresser, the HARRITPURE gives you a big gold arch for a modest outlay. The listing gives 75 by 100 centimeters, which is about 30 by 40 inches, and a weight of 5.8 kilograms, about 12.8 pounds.

The frame is aluminum alloy with a slim, minimalist profile, and the glass has an explosion-proof membrane. It arrives assembled and can hang vertically or horizontally, or lean on a console or the floor against the wall.

An arch adds height, which is why it works above a low sideboard or a bench in a hall. It also fits a fireplace: my guide to the mirror over a fireplace covers the sizes for a mantel.

If you want gold that looks like it has been in the family for a while, the Wemily is the one. The listing describes an antiqued metallic gold with a vintage patina, specifically not shiny brass, on a full metal frame with moisture-proof and rust-proof treatment.

At 36 inches wide by 30 tall, the seller pitches it above fireplaces, consoles and dressers, and that is where it looks best: a wide arch over a long piece of furniture. The glass is tempered with an explosion-proof membrane.

It weighs 20 pounds and comes with two heavy-duty hooks. The seller itself recommends anchoring into studs, and I agree. If you love the antique look but want to make it yourself, my guide on how to antique a mirror covers the glass side.

The PERFNIQUE is the gold mirror for a corner that needs a little personality: a nursery, a powder room with a fan, an entryway shelf. It is a 30 by 18 inch oval with a wavy scalloped wood frame in a brushed gold finish.

The scallop is the point. It softens a room and reads vintage without being ornate. It comes with pre-installed hooks and mounting hardware, or you can lean it on a shelf or a dresser.

Because the frame is wood, keep it out of a bathroom without good ventilation. The listing mentions a mantel too; at 30 by 18 it is small for a full mantel, but it works as one layer in a leaning arrangement.

A gold full length mirror is the biggest gold accent you can put in a room, and the Prywot is a generous one at 70 by 26 inches with an arched top. That height shows you head to toe, and the width gives room to check an outfit.

It has a U-shaped bracket so it stands on its own, hooks on the back so it can hang, and the listing says it can also lean against a wall. The frame is aluminum alloy and the glass is explosion-proof.

Leaning is the easy option, but a 70 inch mirror should be secured: my guide on securing a full length mirror explains how. For more floor mirrors in other finishes, see my full length floor mirrors.
