A
statement mirror is another key feature of many Deco bathrooms. Genuine mirrors from the 1930’s are quite
plain, not really big enough to make any great statement and usually hung from
a large chain. They’re quite uninspiring
so most of the interior designs we see today feature more contemporary, modern mirrors
many of which are geometrically shaped either in a fan or a sunburst
design.

Dunelm
currently have a good range of Deco styled mirrors. Having skimped on the lighting, I splashed out
on this lovely fan shaped mirror for £70.

If
you’re on a tight budget, there’s a beautiful triple step Deco mirror for £28
available at The Range. (I bought this
one too!)

| Bevelled stepped design - good for the price |
It’s
a precision job fitting a mirror so that it’s not skew-whiff so leaving it to
the other half as I’m too cack handed and never quite sure what bubble to look
at on the spirit level.

| After - Art Deco bevelled fan shaped mirror |
Most
of these mirrors have a couple of D rings on the back and can be hung on a
couple of large sturdy screws if you don’t want to buy a proper mirror fixing
kit. Just make sure the screws are long,
heavy duty and securely anchored into the wall with rawl plugs before you
attempt to hang it as you wouldn’t want your beautiful mirror taking a swan
dive onto the floor, would you?
