Arched Lattice Window Full Length Mirror 180 x 90cm

Right: a plain wall that needs furnishing on its own. A landing with nothing on it, a bedroom in plain paint over 3m long, a living room wall facing a real window, a dressing room where the mirror is the only decoration. Here the arch takes the hard corner out of the wall and the lattice gives the eye a window's worth of rhythm, and the mirror does the job a picture would have done while still showing you head to toe. The Arched Lattice Window full length mirror at this size has the glass area for the fine grid to read as a window rather than a screen, which the compact 150 x 60cm does not quite manage in a small room.

Too much: patterned wallpaper, where two patterns fight and the plain Gentle Arch 180 x 90cm at £100 less wins; a hallway full of coats, where the lattice turns the reflection into a mosaic and the rectangular Window Pane 180 x 90cm keeps it calm; and a room that already has a lattice in it, a leaded window or a trellis, where one is a theme and two is a tic. The Arched Window 180 x 90cm is the same arch over a plain grid at the same price for exactly those rooms.

A 180 x 90 mirror hung with its bottom edge 20cm off the floor has its glass topping out at 200cm, so anyone up to about 205cm sees themselves head to toe by the half-height rule, with the curve starting 45cm below the top at 155cm, above the eye line. Ninety centimetres frames a person and an outfit or two people side-on; leant at seven degrees in a bedroom it shows anyone from a pace back. The glass in a 180cm mirror this wide is one continuous 1.62 square metre sheet at 16.2kg, and the welded frame, the arched lattice and the backing bring the delivered weight to 27.5kg: a two-person delivery, two people to hang, and fixings into studs or masonry rather than plasterboard anchors.

The two hanging points sit well below the top of the curve, so measure from the hardware to the floor and not from the top of the arch, or the mirror lands higher than planned. Every horizontal bar in a lattice shows half a degree of lean, so mark both points with a level, hang with two people lifting from the outer frame and never the bars, hook both points on before anyone lets go, and check the lowest straight bar before you tighten. At 27.5kg the fixings are two nylon plugs and screws rated above the weight into brick or block, wood screws into two timber studs, or a batten across two studs; dot-and-dab wants long frame fixings through to the masonry; cavity anchors are not an option above 20kg. The hanging guide covers each wall and the full length wall mirror page the weight-to-fixing tables.

Leaning is for a bedroom or dressing room: felt pads under the base, about 20cm out for five to eight degrees, and an anti-tip strap or screw eye and cable at the top on the day it arrives, because a slim window frame has little footprint and goes rather than wobbles if knocked. Not in a hall. The securing guide covers the strap, the cable and the L-bracket.

A black arched lattice mirror reads as a leaded chapel window in a dark frame and is at its best on white, pale grey and sage, where it adds architecture and hides the fingerprints a frame with this many edges collects; it vanishes on navy. A gold arched lattice mirror in satin champagne-brass reads as a gilded screen, warming navy, sage and cream and drifting to warm silver on pure white; in a bedroom in warm whites and linens it is the one. Same welded steel, same powder coat, same £339.95. The two-tone black frame with gold bars is made on this design at 180 x 105cm. The black full length mirror and gold full length mirror pages make each case, and the window mirror page has all 14 window designs and sizes.

The arched lattice has more bar edges than any mirror here below 200cm, so budget a few minutes. A dry microfibre cloth lifts dust from glass and bars; for marks, a cloth dampened with glass cleaner and folded over a finger does each pane on its own, and the fanned panes under the arch want a small cloth. Spraying the whole face pools liquid at the bar edges and runs it into the join where the backing lives. Nothing abrasive on the powder coat; a touch-up pen hides a scratch through it from two paces. The cleaning guide has the streak-free method.

Same arch, plain grid: the Arched Window 180 x 90cm at 27.3kg and the same £339.95, for a room with pattern or a hall. Same lattice, straight top: the Lattice Window 180 x 90cm at 27.9kg and £299.95, for a dining room. Other sizes of this design: the compact 150 x 60cm at 17.2kg and £229.95; the 180 x 105cm at 31kg and £369.95 with the two-tone option; and the 200 x 120cm at 38.5kg and £399.95 for a wall that wants a whole chapel window and has 2.2m of clear height to give it.
