Black Mirrors

Black is a colour many of us admire but aren’t sure how to use in our homes. And yet, black mirrors are excellent for creating statement appeal in a room – especially an oversized black framed mirror. The colour black in itself is dramatic but when paired with reflective glass it takes on a whole new aesthetic.
And anyway, it’s the frame, more often than the actual mirror that does most of the design work (particularly if it is a dramatic rococo frame or an elaborate baroque black framed mirror). Have a black sideboard or TV centre? Then you could do a lot worse décor-wise than hanging three identical and black framed mirrors just above to give the furniture extra prominence. A black framed mirror can also look great in a white bathroom if the suite has black handles and there are black towels and accessories nearby to co-ordinate it with. Another dramatic design tip is to place your black mirror on a dazzling jewel coloured wall to really make it stand out. Black framed mirrors can also appear sophisticated when placed against a grey wall and with a few silver accessories nearby to introduce brightness.
