Mirror, mirror....these 9 are the most beautiful

Translation: machine translated

A frame for an infinite number of portraits. These nine wall mirrors show how a simple basic shape - a rectangle or circle - can be transformed into true pieces of jewellery with expressive details.

Few home accessories can transform a room as quickly as a mirror. It can enlarge, brighten or decorate it. If you place it in a targeted way, it doubles the beautiful views from the window or provides a preview of the next room. As a wall decoration, it emphasises your living style or deliberately breaks it up. Then it stands alone and provides an accent on the wall. To keep you up to date with which models are particularly effective, I'm sharing my nine top favourites with you. Each design impresses with different advantages.

1. small but mighty

The "Cillia" designer piece is practical and decorative. It is made of resin and has a narrow shelf on which small items can be placed. You can place the mirror on a surface or hang it on the wall. And pretty much anywhere, because it doesn't take up much space.

The shelf at the bottom is perfect for adding a personal touch to the mirror.

2. the cherry on top of the cream cake

The "Cherry" rattan wall mirror is made for looking in, but above all for looking at. It fits perfectly in children's rooms, but also in all other rooms if you want to add a playful element or make a change in style.

The rattan frame gives the cherry-shaped mirror a natural flair.

3. at the interface to the art object

"Tangent Mirror" doesn't need a fancy shape or an extravagant frame to adorn your walls. Instead, it relies on unusually curved edges that make it appear to float in front of the wall.

4. for shadow play

Rectangular, practical, large - that's not enough. Because "Cipriano" also has a gold frame with a twist. It doesn't just surround the mirror, but extends beyond it. This creates two visually appealing cavities that offer you a shadow play in sunlight.

5. a frame with a special effect

Whether vertical or horizontal - "Emma" also appears to float in front of her wall. This is due to the 3D effect of the design. The side bars on the oval wall mirror are also striking. They are decorative and allow you to hang objects from them. For example, a scarf or a photo.

6. organic design

"Magrit" combines function with style. As an asymmetrical mirror, it nestles against the wall. It is ideal for breaking up rigid right angles or adding visual interest. This is because it has a frame made of solid wood. Thanks to its organic shape, you can hang it either vertically, horizontally or even at an angle.

7. curvy design

The curves of "Palmer" could be inspired by the "Ultrafragola" mirror by Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass or the new interpretation called "Curvy Mirror" by designer Gustav Westmann. Either way, they make this model a real eye-catcher. Whether you place it in the hallway, in the dressing room or in the living room - the soft lines provide an exciting contrast to the otherwise rectangular shape.

Quality of choice: The curves of «Palmer» can be aligned horizontally or vertically.

8. for a splash of colour

Mirrors are usually relatively monochrome. Not so "View". It impresses with a pink frame. Another detail: to emphasise the pastel shade, it is contrasted by a triangle-shaped suspension made of black lacquered metal.

9. "Bigger is better"

The large "Adnet Retangular" wall mirror has a classic shape. Nevertheless, it stands out because it has a leather frame with rivets. Its material and brown colour also radiate warmth, making it ideal for hallways, bathrooms and dressing rooms. You can also place this design horizontally or vertically, mount it on the wall or just lean it against the wall.

The burnished brass rivets on the edges make «Adnet Retangular» a real eye-catcher.
