Mirror, Mirror …

Their function is constant but their forms vary widely – reflecting on mirrors’ artistic possibilities can pay huge decorative dividends.

 


On the bathroom wall, over a chest of drawers or the fireplace, near the entryway, all of the above and more – the mirror is an essential staple in the home. They come in all shapes and sizes and styles from modern to traditional, classic to funky, and while you don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of time in front of one, it will reflect the style of the room it’s in. That means you will want to get it right. And even if you don’t always want to spend a lot of time looking at yourself in the mirror, you can always love looking at it.
