With some thoughtful styling, the right mirror can create the illusion of more space, help bring the outdoors in, enhance natural light, set the ambience of a room — the list goes on.

It’s fun to experiment with how the simple addition of a bold wall mirror can make a living room feel like a nightclub come nightfall, while a textural, timber-framed piece might help round out the warm interiors of a room in a beach house or mid-century modern home.

It’s really all about experimenting with the shape and the frame, and how maximalist or minimalist your personal style is.

Ranging from walls mirrors to creative floor mirrors, and more decorative reflective hangings, here are 14 cool mirrors you can shop from some of our favourite designers and homewares brands!
