Decorating: Mirror, Mirror

More than a tool to check your outfit or hair on the way out the front door, mirrors are a creative and statement-making partner when showcasing your style, brightening up a room and allowing the spaces in a home to feel larger than life. “Mirrors can have a profound effect on a zone and are generally considered a staple piece for any interior designer when putting together a scheme,” says marketing manager Simone Rose of Xavier Furniture. Whether it’s from the hall or entryway to your bathroom – and everywhere in between – here is all the inspiration you’ll need to create magic with mirrors and complete any design style.

create a vision

Are you looking to bounce more natural light around a room, expand on a pretty outdoor view or simply decorate a blank wall? The beauty of a fabulously designed mirror is you can easily achieve all three of these goals. Elizabeth McClenaghan, the buyer at Zanui, explains: “Mirrors reflect light, which then creates an illusion of depth and space – perfect for making any room feel large.” And the look of the moment? Elizabeth says a striking round mirror, about 80cm in diameter, hung on the wall above a console, sideboard or fireplace is a popular trend to consider.
