Rethink the Average Mirror (with a roundup of our new favorites)

Mirrors are often the ‘best friend’ roll in the romantic comedy. They typically aren’t the star, but at times can shine and standout. For designers they are extremely useful because they can make a space feel bigger, and they can make a wall feel addressed without costing as much as art. But the traditional rectangle above the mantel has lately acquired some competition. First it was the ’round’ which has become pervasive (of which we still love) but there are some new hot shots in town that you should consider. Yes, folks this is me telling you to ‘Rethink the Mirror’.

First off mirrors of massive scale either hanging or leaning are an extremely high impact way of addressing a wall and bringing in light, but are still way less than a piece of art.

We are going to get a couple for the office, custom-made.

If going the custom route isn’t your thing then think about different shapes or colors, and major retailers are killing it these days with affordable options.

A non-square, rectangle, oval or circular mirror can make a space feel more modern, edgy and fresh.

A smoked, amber or pink mirror can do a lot more to a room or vignette than the traditional because it has more visual weight and can work with your color palette.

It looks more intentional and designed, and becomes more of an art piece than a vanity piece.

We rounded up all our favorite special mirrors on the interweb for you. So the next time you are considering a mirror for your home ask yourself, Could this be the time I bring in something more interesting or more stylish? Forgo buying the ‘statement starburst and hit one of these up instead. They are more modern, edgy and yet many of them are still timeless (the simpler the frame the more timeless it will be).

Here you go, folks. These may not be great for eye-liner, but they sure are nice on the eye ….

    Yes! And what about art-piece mirrors? One of my favourite Canadian artists, Zoe Pawlak, just released a really beautiful collection. http://www.zoepawlak.com/mirrors/ (I have no affliation).

    I really love some of these mirrors. For authentic MCM mirrors, check out this fabulous Etsy seller: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/uulipolli I bought a shapely teak mirror (similar to #17) from her shop and it STUNS in my little basement bathroom.

    I have the number 7 mirror by anthro and I love it. It hangs over my bed; I live in the south with very little earthquake activity. https://flic.kr/p/dWdm2S

    Love the mirror in the first image. Any idea on a source?

      It’s from Consort and here is the link: https://www.consort-design.com/products/bellissima-mirror-series-no-2

      It’s so pretty! xx

    That is a serious treasure trove of random shaped mirrors that you dug up! Who knew?!?! Perfect amount of whimsy to distract from our distressing times!

    I have been OBSESSED with the mirror in your bedroom and have been looking for something like it for months. The problem is it only ever shows up in your stories and I have to screen shot it…. not a great result😅

    Would you mind sharing your source, or at least showing an actual picture of it?!

    1. Sarah says:

    Oh gosh, I wanted to expire when I saw the amber mirror a few photos down. We bought a (dated fixer upper) house last month where every dang thing in it was orange or gold, from the wallpaper to the kitchen to the window tint to the GIANT AMBER MIRROR in the dining room. I’m biased after this orange overload but truly I can’t see the appeal of tinted mirrors. They’re not so useful for appearance checks and they do reflect light back… in the color they are tinted. (Obvs my house did not need more orange reflecting around.)

    Emily, I adore you and your work, you are amazing! Consider a proofreader tho, there are almost daily examples of misused words. It takes away from the wonderful content and beautiful photos.

      I respectfully disagree, Jean. I love Emily’s word usage as much as anything, it shows she’s human.

    You have helped me realize I haven’t been taking full advantage of mirrors! They can be works of art too! I especially love the ones with the build in filters 😉

    The deco-inspired mirrors are exciting!

    They regularly aren’t the interplanetary, however now and again can sparkle and champion. For creators they are to a great degree helpful in light of the Buy_Assignment_Service.com fact that they can influence an intergalactic to impression greater.

Interior Design Blog by Emily Henderson

I started this interior design blog in 2010 as a journal of my style and home projects with the belief that design should be approachable, informational and accessible no matter what budget.

As a home style expert who has a strong commitment to peeling back the intimidating layers of the world of home decor, and showing how every person can have a beautiful home that represents their personality, no matter what the budget.

After styling for magazines and catalogues for years, I started my own interior design blog, won HGTV Design Star, and have gone on to host my own hit TV show Secrets from a Stylist, Author the book STYLED, and create the design firm Emily Henderson Design.

My motto has always been to write and publish on my blog what I personally want to read about.

My interior design blog remains personal, totally transparent and honest - documenting both proud and embarrassing design moments/mistakes and giving real life pricing and expectations.

I believe that your home should look like you, that every room is soul-less without something vintage or antique. I also believe in having fun. Like, a lot of fun.
