This trend is all about metalic finishes and reflective surfaces. Create a space where light and colour bounces around the room through key pieces of furniture and accessories.

Look at coloured glass, mirror and high gloss marble finishes on table tops and shelving alongside warm metals like brass and gold. An obvious start to get this look is with a large mirror, and there are some great designs available in stores mixing different shapes and finishes so no need to be traditional.

Black and green marble give a subtle reflective surface and this works best on coffee tables and shelving, bringing interest and decoration at the same time. For some fantastic table and trolley selections that fit this look perfectly visit rockettstgeorge.co.uk, miafleur.com and roseandgrey.co.uk.
Another way to bring this look into your home is through soft furnishings like cushions. A copper or gold shiny finish can give a reflective quality and bring together the look [ oliverbonas.com have a new range of cushion which look fab ]. Finally accessories like vases and candle holders are a great way to bring a shelf or table to life, the shinier the better.

We love this black and brass wall clock from Rockett St George. It’s simple design really stands out and it is a beautiful piece to look at.
It would sit perfectly against a dark blue, green or aubergine wall in a living room or office.
Perhaps hang it mixed with other wall decor like mirrors and pictures, creating impact.

Gone are the days when you simply put a mirror up in your bathroom, bedroom or hallway just for it’s practical purpose. Mirrors in the home now are seen as design statements and decorative objects.
The variety of designs available in stores and online offer you a great selection to choose from.
We’ve picked some of the popular on trend styles and our favourites.
One of the biggest trends this year is bringing mixed metal finishes on mirror frames – copper, brass and gold – often with a strong industrial feel. Rounded edge square and rectangular mirrors work great in achieving this look.
Another popular choice is the round hanging mirror. Get the simple scandinavian feel with the mix of wood and leather.

Bring colour and texture into your room with a bright frame or subtle blocks of metallic and pastels. The popular geometric trend continues to grow and works really well in mirrors – we love the ferm living wonder mirror, combining a hexagonal design with different woods, doubling up as a shelf for displaying objects.
Mirrors don’t always need to be flat either. Go bold with a 3D inspired design, bringing a strong focal point to a living room or bedroom.

Get a vintage look with a hanging art deco inspired mirror. Rather than going for a modern feel with leather or rope hanging element, pick a thin delicate chain. This combined with a more ornate shape will give a strong decorative statement.
For a bigger statement go for a retro sunburst mirror. This popular mid century design is having a resurgence in homes and works really well in a modern inspired room. The gold or brass finish sits really well with dark walls of grey or navy.
With wooden framed mirrors avoid light colours and opt for dark wood veneers like walnut or mango.
