Be the fairest of them all with these statement pieces.
More than a functional piece for making sure we’re presentable before we leave the house, a strategically placed mirror can make a room appear larger and brighter, or inject life into a dark corner or hallway.
It’s not just about the reflective qualities either, a beautiful decorative mirror can be hung instead of a piece of art to bring character to a space or to pull a room scheme together by subtly tie-ing in colours, shapes, materials or themes.
Above a fireplace or over-mantel in a living room or dining room is the obvious place for a beautiful mirror, but in a clean, white bathroom, a decorative mirror is a simple way to soften the look and take it from clinical to cool without a major refurb.
The latest styles span a number of different looks from pretty butterflies, glamorous crystals and spun gold to Scandi chic, graphic monochrome and lunar landscapes, so take a look and decide which is the fairest of all…
