It's worth travelling on multiple tracks

Mirror designs couldn't be more different at the moment. You can therefore decorate every room with a different model without getting bored.

There are few accessories that can bring about change as quickly as mirrors. Not only do they visually enlarge a room, they also add a variety of light reflections. Mirrors decorate bare walls without adding too much bulk. If you place them in a targeted manner, they double the beautiful views from the window or provide a preview of the next room. As there are many shapes and colours available, you can easily go for a different design in each room to match the rest of the decor.

Combined

When making your choice, make sure that you repeat design elements from the respective room. This brings visual calm and guarantees that a mirror is the icing on the cake in every room.

The designs from Mutoni lifestyle and Hübsch are suitable if you have a lot of wooden furniture. Their frame contains either MDF or oak wood and makes the cool mirror glass look warmer.

If you're going for cool materials in your interior design, mirrors such as those from Moebe or Ferm Living cut a fine figure. They have brass elements that are simple and provide stability. The chances of such mirrors harmonising with the rest of your interior are high because their shape is so minimalist.

Practical

Reach for standing mirrors if a room in your home no longer has any free wall space. They brighten up dressers or dressing tables and combine two functions in one: the design from Relaxdays integrates a shelf for jewellery and the hand mirror from Oyoy is also a standing mirror.

Artistic

Mirrors can replace a painting on the wall. That alone is the reason why you can use them to decorate any room. Especially if, like the designs by Petite Friture and Cassina, they live from illustrations.

The design comes from the designer Man Ray, who created the mirror and its play on words. Image: Cassina

The colourful pattern of "Francis" imitates the typical discolouration of centuries-old Venetian mirrors. The colours almost look as if they have just been freshly applied. The "Grands Trans-Parents" slogan could also have just been written by hand.

If you're lacking wall space in a room, shelves are the way to go. Here, standing mirrors create the wow effect. They complement any still life or replace the art object for which your budget is not yet sufficient

The designs by Beliani and Dutchbone are at least as cool as a sculpture. They embody animals: a dog and a falcon.
