In the hallway, to set the decorative tone of a home the moment you step inside, in the living room to give a sideboard extra presence, or in the bedroom or the study, the mirror is without question the star piece for adding an aesthetic touch to your interior – and for giving us back the very best reflection of ourselves!
Depending on everyone’s tastes and expectations, this essential piece comes in a huge variety of guises: wall mirror, free-standing mirror, round mirror, large mirror, rectangular mirror, barber mirror, overmantel mirror, baroque style, gold, brass… mirrors take on every shape imaginable to slot into our interiors. Choosing a mirror to enhance the character of your interior decor is no small task, as it has to meet a number of decisive criteria: the look it conveys, the shapes and materials framing it, and the various sizes available so as not to take over an entire wall – or an entire floor area in the case of a free-standing mirror.
So how can you be sure you’re making the right choice? Why opt for a round mirror rather than a rectangular one? Do brass and gold suit every decorative style? Is it a good idea to combine several mirrors on the same stretch of wall? What is the ideal depth for a mirror in cm? What budget should you set aside for this piece?
You’ll find the answers to all your questions easily by letting this category devoted to mirrors guide you – specially curated by The Cool Republic! Because this selection, where variety meets design, brings together pieces capable of satisfying every desire while ticking the boxes for style and singularity. In short, the perfect answer for lovers of beautiful pieces full of character!
Whether you’re after a round metal mirror for the walls of your hallway or living room, mirrors for the bathroom, a table-top or free-standing model for a bedroom, or a sunburst or barber-style mirror for the vintage charm these pieces bring, you’ve come to the right place with this category offering one of the richest choices around and brands to die for.
Among them, names that are on everyone’s lips when it comes to design, such as House Doctor, Ferm Living, Hübsch, Petite Friture, Nordal, Nkuku, Bloomingville, Tsé Tsé, Broste Copenhagen and HKliving.
If, for instance, you’re looking for an authentic piece with the presence of a contemporary artwork, you’ll find the famous Francis model, designed by Constance Guisset for Petite Friture. This mirror, blending colour with a contemporary spirit, is an ode to the dreamlike thanks to its unique finish, reminiscent of the oxidation of antique mirrors with their timeless charm. For a retro note, the Ellipse rattan model from KOK or the round Katé raffia design by Cosydar are safe bets in their field.
As for the Horizon range by Normann Copenhagen, it proves ideal for the bathroom, a small cloakroom or a hallway, thanks to its integrated shelves, which can be highly practical from both a functional and a decorative point of view.
You’ll also have the pleasure of coming across pieces that are decidedly out of the ordinary, whether in terms of design or originality, and that are bound to win you over or raise a smile. That’s certainly true of the Cyclope range by Doiy, with its eye-shaped mirrors to hang on the wall or stand on a surface, or the sublime rattan-framed fish by the same brand. Not to mention the incredible Ice Cream mirror, an XXL take on an ice lolly with Scandinavian accents, available in several on-trend colours, or the Balloon model with its trompe-l’œil balloon shape – both from Danish brand EO.
There’s plenty here to elevate any setting in this selection put together by the Cool Team, and you’re sure to find the piece that wins you over with its style and practicality, bringing light and depth to your living spaces.
