In the process of redecorating our living room we used our dining room as a storeroom for a couple of weeks and this in turn prompted a total spring clean and change over of curtains before all our furniture could be set back in place. We even went to the trouble of taking down pictures and mirrors and dusting the backs. With these objects removed, especially our mirror that takes pride of place the room looked quite sad.
It got me thinking, how a good mirror is like adding another window to a room. There are many styles available and here I have listed some that I own and others that I covet or ideas worth adapting.

I saw this convex mirror in a shop in Rome. These mirrors distort the view of the room and a great for reflecting light.
This corner door has mirror to conceal what is behind, a clever device that blurs the edges of the room and increases space.
Lots of mirror framed in an architectural context.
This small gilt framed mirror reminds me of mirrors I have seen in Venice, it reflects the bookcases in our living room.
More mirrors set in an architectural context in the Carvenale museum in Paris. This museum is a wonderful source of inspiration for interior designers with its period room sets.
This little square framed mirror is your humble ikea mirror given a stencil and lacquer treatment. A quick saturday afternoon project for my amusement.
The sunburst mirror hanging above the door in this Parisian design shop has a fifties feel to it. A quirky place to hang it but effective.
