MIRROR WALL ART
If only I had a dime for every time someone asked me what to put on a particular blank wall in their homes.

MIRROR FURNITURE
Why to be basic when you can stand out. Now this idea may not be super cheap but definitely would not be as expensive as a teak table. Just getting one mirrored furniture item like small side table or a coffee table can change the look of the room. You can even just paint your bed white and get a pair of mirrored side tables for the wow effect.

VINTAGE MIRROR TRAY
Mirror trays are a great way to add some opulence to any console. Wether you might put one in your vanity area with your perfumes and toiletries or have one on your living room coffee table with a candle & small floral arrangement. Although if you get one with dark moisture stains, that’s even better. It will add the old world charm to your table.

MIRROR ACCESSORIES
So the thing is, there are candles that we buy to burn and candles that we just buy to decorate. But its always beautiful to have them in those antiqued mercury mirror glass holders. It makes it easier to add some sparkle without being too blingy out there. Or even getting a pair of vintage wall scones in wood with mirror in them should make any art piece look good in the middle.

ACRYLIC MIRROR PANEL
When staying in an apartment in the city, there is only enough that you can do with the given space. But rather than having a veneer on the door or a wallpaper that you might get bored of, you can go in for acrylic mirror panel. Which will reflect more light into the room & also make your living room seem expansive.
