Natural and lacquered oak carries a honey undertone that sits happily beside cream, linen and warm plaster, and awkwardly beside grey, stone and cool white. That is the reason a lot of otherwise timber-friendly rooms end up with no timber in them at all. Liming answers it at the finish rather than by painting over the wood: pale pigment is worked into the open grain and the surface is wiped back, so the pores hold a lighter tone than the timber around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eWhat that produces is grain in reverse. A stain darkens the open pores so the figure reads as dark lines; liming fills them with pale pigment so the figure reads as light ones. The frame keeps every bit of its timber character while losing the honey tone, and it stays chalky and cool rather than yellowing. On a piece 1600mm tall there is a great deal of grain running the length of the frame, so the effect is easy to see rather than a detail you have to look for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003e1600 mm tall, 500 mm wide, 60 mm deep, 12.05 kg.

In a small bedroom, a narrow hallway or a scheme built on close tones, the useful thing a full-length mirror does is add light and depth without adding another object to look at. A pale frame does that job, and a limed one does it without going bland, because the grain still reads at close range even as the mirror settles into the wall from across the room. That is the difference between a piece that disappears and one that is simply quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d-h\"\u003eWhere to Put It and What It Will Do to the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d-p\"\u003eBedrooms on a cool grey or chalk wall, where a warmer oak would sit awkwardly. The gap beside a white or pale-painted wardrobe. Landings and hallways, standing against the wall without narrowing the route past. Dressing areas, where the pale frame keeps the corner light. Rented flats, where leaning avoids fixing the full weight to the wall. Limed oak works against white, chalk, stone, cool grey and pale blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d-h\"\u003eThe Practical Details Before You Buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"d-ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eFit the anti-topple kit.\u003c\/span\u003e It is included for a reason. A mirror standing 1600mm tall can fall forward if knocked or if the base slides, and the glass is unprotected.

Polished tile, laminate and sealed boards give less of it than carpet, so a rug or felt pads will help alongside the wall fixing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eThe wash sits on real grain.\u003c\/span\u003e How much pigment the pores hold varies with the timber, so tone and the strength of the figure differ between units and against the photography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"d-li\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-lbl\"\u003eFixings rated for 12.05 kg if wall hung.\u003c\/span\u003e Wall plugs and suitable screws into masonry, or hollow-wall anchors or a stud fixing on plasterboard.
