Reflected glory: the endless versatility of wall mirrors and the best ones to buy now

Rémy Mishon stages a selection of glamorous mirrors worthy of a star's dressing room for the October issue
Michael Sinclair

As our style director says, "as autumn events give way to Christmas parties and the social season is in full swing, our full-length mirrors are getting more action than ever. Inspired by big looks and diva decorating, our decoration editor Rémy Mishon has gathered a gallery of glamorous mirrors and set them in a world of silk taffeta and floral bouquets. We love the amount of decoration that you can pack into the just the frame of a mirror - from a sharp, modern take on a Venetian mirror, to rope-effect carved wood, and from colour-blocked modernism to traditional bucranium motifs. From tailored to trad, we think we have found a mirror to reflect every style."

House & Garden's decoration editor, Rémy Mishon, notes:

“I was inspired by diva dressing rooms for the set design (think Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl), so I wanted them to be big, individual characters and, as per our usual shopping edits, the best representation of their style currently available on the market. I wanted to include the companies that are doing something unique at the nth degree, like Rupert Bevan's modern dynamic designs with traditional cathedral glass techniques and Jamb's can't-believe-they're-reproductions line of mirrors alongside the best places to shop for mirrors of all styles and budgets.”

Whether you want to decorate your walls, bounce light around the room, add visual interest by reflecting a pretty corner, or just luxuriate in your own image, a wall mirror is a delightful accessory for any part of the house. As such, for our October issue, the decoration team reflected on the very best wall mirrors to buy now, compiling them below.
