Our Gold Mirror Recommendations
A darker version of the gold mirror. Like the mirror above, this is a very popular style for functional spaces (bathrooms & powder rooms). There is a version of this mirror for sale on our Etsy page that you can find by tapping the “shop” button. If you have a specific color gold you’d like, please message me before you order.
Our gold glass mirror can be made in a variety of sizes and shades. If you have a project that you’d like to use gold mirror for, you can order a swatch of this material here or send me an email at design@mirrorcoop.com
This pale gold mirror is a very popular style where the outside is a gold rim and the center is a clear mirror. It’s a nice look for a bathroom because its both decorative and functional. Below I’ll include an example with a darker gold color. This style can be made between 12″ and 60″ but 60″ is VERY big. Most are made about 30″ in diameter.
Art Deco & other period styles often use gold as an accent color like in the example above. We built this mirror using a gold mirror on the top and then matte metal on the sides and a clear mirror in the mirror. I believe the original was apx. 26″ x 50″ but we could make something like this large (or smaller). Send me an email if you have a design like this you are interested in.
Here is another example of an Art Deco style mirror that features elegant gold accents.
Similarly, we paired a gold mirror with black glass for this stunning piece.
I believe it measures approximately 40 inches in diameter.
The edge, which combines gold and black, sits slightly on top of the center mirror, creating a refined border around the center.

Can you make different shades of gold mirror?
In general, yes. If you are looking for another shade instead of the one shown, we can make a variety of colors.
Can you match an existing shade of gold mirrors?
Usually yes — or at least come close. In those cases, we usually make a custom sample, send it to you, and let you compare and review the color in your space.
Are these made out of plastic (acrylic)?
No. Acrylic/plastic are not part of our projects. We only use glass mirrors.

FAQs About Gold Frames
Gold Framed Mirrors
These mirrors use a variety of metals to achieve a gold look. For polished (shiny) gold frames, I typically use:
- Anodized Aluminum
- Polished Brass
Brass looks a little more gold over time and will change its color if not sealed.
Aluminum will stay exactly the same color — and generally has a truer reflection than polished brass. Additionally, aluminum is also less expensive to buy than polished brass.
Why Choose Gold Framed Mirrors?
In general, gold framed mirrors are some of the most popular and available types of mirrors. I think working with us makes sense if you have a very specific size or finish that you would like for the frame.
Most gold frames are brass plated, which looks okay but is not a very high-end material.
Custom Options
If you are looking for a solid brass frame in a custom size or shape (like a pretty large mirror), then it’s worth reaching out and discussing.
Otherwise, I recommend just browsing online as there are many options for brass frame mirrors made overseas that are inexpensive and ready to ship quickly.
