Made Goods Mirrors

Like little jewels for your room, a mirror can take a space and lighten, enlarge, or glamorize a space. While the mirror itself creates the function, the frame surrounding it makes the statement. Using unconventional shapes and materials adds sass and confidence to your room.

Joelle Mirror

Decorative round mirrors are perfect for entry ways or areas you are looking to create a strong statement in. Use an unusual frame to define the mood of your home – are you whimsical? Elegant? Maybe both?

Heavily carved frames add weight and definition, and are more apt to be used because of the frame. Made Goods’ Blake Mirror in penshell or brown lip shell has exquisite natural colors. The mirror comes in 32” or 38” diameters with a wavy pattern that commands attention.

Made Goods caught my attention by its attention to small details and turnings them into show-stopping pieces. Their Coco Mirror resembles an undulating coral reef, and reflects the time it must take to mold and create each piece. It can be accented with a silver leaf edging for a sophisticated feel, or leave it off for beach house chic.

Falling into the categories of Modern Glamour, Romantic Statements, and Global Exploration, the mirrors from Made Goods represent something for everyone. The overscaled dramatic “sun” created by the 50” diameter Mirabelle has “wow” factor all over it. By contrast, the simplicity of their Joelle rectangular mirror greets you with a lovely smile for its touch of whimsy.

Remaking a Room with Mirrors

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

There is something about adding a mirror to room that can make it a good space turn great.  It can open up a doorway or make a small space seem larger.  A dark corner suddenly resonates with the rest of the room. 

Uttermost Trevis Mirror

Once used as more of a focal point in bedrooms and bathrooms, mirror styles are more interesting than ever, with some practically covering up the actual mirror in order to use if for a reflective surface.  Chunky ornate frames made from cast resin become artwork themselves.  Unusual materials, such as bone or shell add soft colors.  Smaller pieces of mirror are applied to the outside of a frame or in unexpected patterns to bounce light around. 

Uttermost Raindrops Mirror

Round and square mirrors give smaller areas a break by adding shape and size.  “Mirrors give a room an illusion of infinity,” Geoffrey Bradfield, a New York based designer has stated.  It’s not even necessary to hang a mirror anymore – it can be leaned on a mantle or on the floor to add extra dimension.

Uttermost Tarkika Mirror

Pieces of mirror are working their way into tiled surfaces, furniture, lighting, and shelving to add a new play of light into a space.  The reflective surface also adds a bit of old Hollywood glamour and dresses up an area. 

In Feng Shui, it is believed that a mirror reflects something of good value, whether it is a treasured object, a scenic view, or a favorite photograph.  The positive effects are thought to be doubled by the reflection.
