Decorators and designers share fabulous ways to use the most glamorous and versatile decorating material of them all
1 As this wall didn’t have a window, Andrea Lindsay-Bowman of Bowman Interiors gave it an interesting ‘outlook’ with two matching bevelled mirrors.
2 A round mirror above a dressing table always looks elegant, but if you scale it up as Sharon Nicolaci of Spegash Interiors did in this Jo’burg home, it looks spectacular.
3 Designer Tanya Beyers of Profurn Contracts loves to repeat elements such as the decorative mirrors on the wall of this dining room. “On their own, they would look lost, but in multiples, they give the wow factor,” she says.
4 To enhance the contemporary look of this KZN kitchen and bring in more light, Lisa Walters Interiors clad the countertop and splashback with tinted mirror. The effect is more subtle than normal mirror, which can be distracting on a dining surface.
