Choosing Statement Mirrors

Selecting a mirror can be an easy and affordable way of updating any room, personalising a previously boring space.  I think mirrors create a homely and light feeling which is especially useful during these dark days.

I was recently contacted by Argos and asked if I would like a mirror to review and jumped at the chance.  I selected the Living Faceted Round Wall Mirror as I have been admiring this angular style for some time.  I was pleasantly surprised to see how affordable their range of mirrors was and this one had particularly good reviews.  Now I have it I can see why, as it certainly creates a real designer look in our living room.

When choosing mirrors it is important to consider the style and size.  A large statement mirror can really draw attention so it’s important to think about where to locate it to show it off to its best potential.  You can either choose something that complements the rest of your decor or select a new style using the mirror as inspiration for your new design.

I chose to use this mirror as the starting point for a new living room design and it has encouraged me to be bold and create a feature fireplace.  To do this I selected a bold teal paint to use behind the mirror creating a fantastic contrast against the lines of the mirror.  I can’t tell you what a difference having such a statement piece has made, it’s really brought the whole room together with just a quick lick of paint and a few screws.

This is the first project we have tackled in the living areas of the house since we moved in and has really spurred me to carry on with some other small makeovers in each room to make it feel a little more like our space.  Stay tuned for more updates!
