What to Do With Vintage Mirrors
Mirrors have long been featured in homes as important design elements and practical additions. Because of this, there are many vintage mirror options you should consider for your house or apartment. Especially in antique form, they add vintage beauty and sophistication to a space. Here are 3 unique uses for vintage mirrors:
- Eclectic Bathroom
- Hall of Mirrors
- Chic Bar
1) Eclectic Bathroom
The traditional medicine cabinet mirror above the bathroom sink is outdated and a bit tacky. In its place, a simple mirror with an unusual shape can draw the eye and make the room seem bigger and less cluttered. Or go for drama with a large, ornate mirror paired with a modern vanity.
2) Hall of Mirrors
Starting a collection of vintage mirrors? Place them together on a gallery wall as you would photos in frames. Mix different styles, and feel free to “cheat” by adding a few newer mirrors to create a stunning sight. Enjoy an element of majestic enchantment with a gallery wall of antique mirrors.
3) Chic Bar
Create a chic bar setup with the help of vintage mirrors. Place an ornate gold mirror on your coffee table, then arrange antique glasses and bottles on top to create a stunning serving tray. For a DIY bar, use a small antique hutch or desk. Place your bottles and glasses in a pleasing way, then hang your vintage mirror on the wall above the bar. The light will reflect beautifully from the mirrors, through the glasses, and around the room.
A Reflection of Home
Mirrors reflect love, light and the people we care about. In a large room, a mirror is a dramatic, elegant addition, while in a small room it can add the illusion of space.
