I’ve always been a fan of mirrors – not for reasons of vanity but for sheer beauty and versatility. Whatever the style, age or size, they furnish a room like nothing else, creating the feeling of light and space yet warmth and richness.
Whereas once you would have to search high and low in designer furniture shops or sale rooms for something a little different, today it’s easy to find stylish mirrors to satisfy every taste and style at affordable prices. My favourite one stop shop for ideas is Graham and Green – fabulous mirrors and quirky designes to suit every style and fantasy. Look at the 36 Facet wall mirror – an investment at £600 but a real talking piece and you’d hardly need anything else in the room. As a complete contrast, the Black and Mother of Pearl inlay mirror is reminiscent of a Morrocan riad. I’d love to find a home for either, or a corner for the Grey Acanthus leaf or inset design which bring my dreams of Provence alive. Probably most useful is the Bevelled edge mirror, sharp and clean and easy to fit into any interior. It’s in my ‘basket’ at the moment but just how long it will stay there until I proceed to checkout I’m not sure.
