One of our favorite design trends is the use of mirrored furniture. It’s a trend that works in any room, as furniture with mirrored fronts can make any room look larger and brighter. Today, mirrored furniture can be found in all sorts of styles and products, such as chests, buffets, armoires—there’s something for everyone, no matter what your style.

Mirrored furniture—just as with a wall or floor mirror—gives a room a brightness by providing a bright, open feeling and offering a modern and glamorous appeal. One way to make a room look larger, and to maximize natural light is to place a tall mirrored armoire between two windows. If you’re really daring, you can be so bold as to hand a decorative mirror above another mirrored piece, such as a mirrored chest, buffet, or table. By doing this, you can trick the eye into thinking that you have double the space that the room provides. The best part of using mirrors this way is when done in smaller rooms. Even a small piece can provide an enormous amount of light, and make the room feel more spacious.

Another reason to use mirrored furniture is to give a room an updated and modern feel. It doesn’t matter if your personal style is entirely retro-mid-century, more eclectic, or vintage Hollywood regency, you’ll find that mirrored furniture will only enhance your design. With all of the types of mirror furniture out there, the options are quite endless.

Another place to use a mirrored piece is in the dining room—a bar, a mirrored buffet, or a sideboard will be both functional in that it gives your extra storage, but it will also make an enclosed space feel more open and spacious.

When trying to decide on the perfect mirrored piece for your home, look for ones that have interesting shapes. For example, small mirrored tables come in a variety of shapes and styles which can provide a small accent to a room, without altering the overall look.

Are you ready to add this trend to your space, and make your style one that is both glamorous and fun?
