Mirror Frames Buying Guide — Chinioti Jharoka and Beyond

A mirror does double duty in any home — it is functional and it is decor. Choosing the right frame turns a simple mirror into a statement piece.

What Styles Are Available?

Kraft Store's Mirror Frames collection includes several distinct styles, each rooted in a different Pakistani craft tradition:

• Chinioti Jharoka mirrors: Traditional carved wooden window-style frames from Chiniot, Punjab. Deeply carved floral and geometric patterns surround the mirror, giving it a heritage, ornate look. Read more in our Chinioti Furniture guide.
• Iron art mirrors: Hand-forged metalwork frames, often with geometric cutout patterns, top borders, or coin-style detailing. A bolder, more industrial-traditional look.
• Hand-painted mirrors: Individually painted frames, often floral or motif-based, each one-of-a-kind.
• Balochi portrait mirrors: Frames incorporating traditional Balochi design elements, sometimes with added bill pockets for functional wall storage.

How to Choose the Right Size

For an entryway or hallway, a medium Jharoka or iron art mirror works well as a focal point without overwhelming the space. For a living room statement piece, a large Chinioti Jharoka mirror above a console or sofa anchors the room. Smaller hand-painted mirrors suit bedrooms or as part of a gallery wall arrangement.

Natural Polish or Painted?

Natural polish Sheesham wood frames show off the wood grain and carving detail, suiting traditional and transitional interiors. Hand-painted and golden deco finishes suit more ornate, maximalist spaces. See our Living Room Styling guide for placement ideas.

Is It a Good Gift?

A mirror frame is a popular wedding and housewarming gift in Pakistan — it is both decorative and genuinely useful in a new home.

All Kraft Store mirror frames are available with cash on delivery across Pakistan.
