Mirrors aren't just for your walls!

Gone are the days where your dining room wall is covered in floor to ceiling mirrors. These days mirrors are showing up in many locations around your home. There are the obvious locations in your bathrooms and dressing areas, or as artwork above your fireplace and in your front hall. But now mirrors are showing up as your furniture pieces. Many furniture designers out there are using mirrors to create modern and flashy pieces or using antique mirrors to create a twist on a classic piece. Check out and “reflect” on the variety of mirrored furniture pieces below.

Mirrored furniture pieces are a great idea to add to your room to bring in a new level of sophistication. Mirrors can reflect other textures and colors in a room and create a new layer to your design.
