For many year, colorful glass mirrors were a staple of high end design. Starting with the Art Deco period of the 1920s and continuing through the Midcentury period, colorful mirror played a key role in the design wall mirrors and furniture.

As new materials — mostly acrylics — were popularized in the 1970s, colorful mirror fell out of fashion, as it was seen as a less durable and more expensive than plastic.

Today, colorful glass mirrors can be found in high end decor all over the world. Below we show you a few of our favorite pieces.

    How To Decorate With Mirrors

    Our friend Ryan Skidmore from Artisan Hardware gave us some excellent food for thought to consider when planning how to use mirrors in your home.

    β€œAsk yourself what the purpose of installing a mirror is…

    β€œIf you want to add a mirror more for style than function, consider implementing a mirror that is smaller in size and has fun, unique framing.

    ” if you want to add a mirror for more functionality (such as a bathroom mirror), consider going the more traditional route. For that, install a mirror that is big, where you can easily see yourself (no one wants a small bathroom mirror that can’t show their entire reflection).”

    Indeed, figuring out the balance of style and function is core to any piece that can have both, like a mirror. A good thought experiment is to consider how you will feel with a very decorative piece after you’ve had it for a few years.
