Guest Picks: Incorporating Ornate Mirrors
From barococo to sunburst to scalloped, these dramatic mirrors work with a range of styles
Anyone who follows design today would agree that its all about the mix. Vintage and new, modern and traditional are all mixed to create a custom, curated look full of history and personality.
Start creating your own mix by using an ornate mirror to set the scene. Pair one in the foyer with a modern Parsons desk for example, or hang one over the vanity in a powder room to give a functional space more flair. You'll find that the use of ornate mirrors is not as limited as you might think; they will settle easily in with all styles. — Sarah from The Estate of Things

Suzanne Kasler Sunburst Mirror #1
No question sunburst mirrors are still on trend. Because this mirror is a bit on the smaller side, I like it over a small dresser or in that one peculiar nook in your house.
Scallop Edge Mirror
I love this mirror because of its versatility. It has the capability to nestle in many different styles including traditional, modern and eclectic.
Traditional Wall Mirrors
I'm drawn to the lines of this Chippendale mirror; they always catch my eye in antique stores. Rather than fussy, I view the shape as modern, simple and timeless.

Baroque gets an update with a white glossy finish, making it easy to incorporate it into a modern space.

Everyone loves bamboo! This glamorous gilded piece would be a stylish addition to any room in the house.

Feminine curves and a whitewash finish make this mirror a good candidate for the bath or bedroom.
My Brother's Mirror
This is still one of my favorite Baroque reproductions with a modern twist. This would look fantastic in a modern interior.
Circlet Lattice Mirror
I love this mirror because of the classic latticework. It's a foundation piece and will never go out of style.

This is a pretty heavy mirror but you can lighten it up by pairing it with cool, modern blues and greens or set it off in a clean white room.
Newport Mirror - Square
I love when baroque mirrors are treated with bold hues. Love the shape and scale — in fact, I think I love everything about this one.
Black Venetian Mirror
Black Venetian glass is starting to pop up everywhere. It's a twist on a style that has held popularity for quite some time. How about this beauty in a powder room?
Dark Zinc Sun Mirror
This sunburst has a modern rustic tilt. I love the weight and graphic color of the iron.

I'd like to pair this with some elegant sconces in a powder room or buy another one and mount them over double vanities in a master bath.
Howard Elliott Chateau
Hang this in a clean white space with some black and white photography leaning casually against it.
Bowmont Mirror
This would be beautiful in a foyer with some coat hooks and a bench underneath. I love the rich, charcoal finish.
