Mirrors

A mirror is the only piece of decor that gives you something back. It doubles the light in a dark room, makes a small space read as larger, and fills a wall without adding the visual clutter that art can bring.

The range covers round wall mirrors in black and brass, arched leaning styles for full-length dressing, oval and rectangular options for hallways and bathrooms, and a few clever pieces that combine a mirror with shelving or a tray. Umbra makes most of them, which means the fixings are thought through and the frames stay slim.

Hang it where it reflects something worth seeing. A mirror facing a window doubles your daylight. One facing a blank wall just doubles the blank wall.
