Mirrors have long been a staple in our homes, gracing foyers, bedrooms and mantels with style and function. But now mirrors are making their way into the kitchen, one tile, light fixture and decorative accent at a time. This popular design element will bring reflective light and the feeling of extra space to your kitchen, while adding on-trend style to any interior design. So, if you're looking for an easy way to improve and update the look of your kitchen space, these creative tips for incorporating mirrored style into every interior will help you achieve just the look you're going for.
1. Mirror Collections
Rhona Round Gilt Mirror from Pottery Barn.
Displaying a design feature as a cluster or collection, instead of as a solo piece, allows smaller elements that would otherwise be overshadowed by grander statements to serve as a collective focal point. Mixing various textures, such as this Rhona Round Gilt Mirror from Pottery Barn, with a variety of other mirror styles will create a collaborative design statement that allows you to mix aesthetics, so you can combine a variety of mirrors styles (both new or vintage) in your kitchen.

2. Statement Mirrors
Hand Carved Starburst Mirror from Williams-Sonoma.
From bold designs to subtle statement pieces, embellishing a kitchen or eating area with a mirror is a quick and simple way to give a space a modern makeover. For a bigger impact, look for a mirror frame with extra depth and height — this will help accent (not take away from) your kitchen's overall design. For larger mirrors, we love the neutral accents of this Hand Carved Starburst Mirror from Williams-Sonoma. For a bolder wood-and-mirror option, and for those looking to embrace the trend while staying true to traditional design, the Garden Lattice Mirror from Pottery Barn is bold and classic with a modern twist.
