The Joy of Mirrors

October 12, 2017

There are so many things that we fill our homes with to make our lives livable. Some are functional. Some are fashionable. And then there are those things that just feel like something that you're supposed to have, as if your home just wouldn't be complete without them such as mirrors!

Made in Mexico Mirrors are one of those things. We all have mirrors, and we all know why. Without them we wouldn't be able to do little things like check our appearances.

On the design side of things, mirrors are a great way to open up a space, using reflections to make a room feel larger than it actually is. But beyond that and a few flourishes around the frame, most of us would place mirrors on the functional rather than the fashionable end of the home decorating equation. Which means that a lot of us are missing out on a big opportunity.

A prime example of functional beauty is our selection of Wood & Metal Mirrors combine antique wood with eye-catching metals insets, our Southwest Collection mirror frames are a perfect example of old-world craftsmanship. The unique texture of the wood, found only in local abandoned haciendas, comes from decades of natural weathering and is the basis for this classic collection. These mirrors will not only beautify your home; they are solidly built to last a lifetime. Since the wood is reclaimed only from old and abandoned haciendas, this fact reduces pressure on local forest resources and promotes a sustainable usage cycle. The reclaimed wood is then milled and graded, fumigated and dried, stained in one of 12 exclusive finish colors, and sealed for protection. The unique texture of the wood comes from decades of natural weathering, and is the basis for this stunning line of rustic furniture.

As you can see, not only can mirrors be fun to decorate with, with a little creativity they can easily become the show-stopping centerpiece of your home. But since the only thing better than great design advice is a couple of great examples to go along with it, here are several ways that you can do amazing things in your home with mirrors—from the simplest uses to the most innovative.

Even in the most straightforward of circumstances, there's always a chance to be a bit creative with your mirrors. Creating a wall of mirrors or just doubling them up easily creates visual impact in your space!
