Featured: Uttermost Sherise Bronze Oval Wall Mirror

Mysterious and elegant are the words that will best describe this powder room. The black walls might not seem much but the elegant Uttermost Sherise Bronze Oval Wall Mirror, red butterfly portrait and painted ceiling made this powder room stand out. Photo by Mega Temple Design

The black beaded oval mirror sets the tone before you even notice the wallpaper. It hangs over a narrow wood vanity with a black stone top, flanked by two scalloped rattan sconces. The beading around the edge is subtle from across the room but gives the frame some depth up close. Against the busy floral print, the oval shape keeps things calm.

A closer look at the same mirror shows off the beaded trim and how it plays with the wallpaper's peacocks and florals. The oval frame sits low enough to reflect the shower tile behind you, which adds another layer to the room without extra effort. Brass fixtures below pick up the warmth in the wood vanity.

Here the mirror gets a moodier setting. Dark floral wallpaper wraps the whole wall, and the black beaded oval mirror holds its shape against all that pattern instead of getting lost in it. Soapstone counters and brass fixtures round out a space that leans dramatic rather than airy. The mirror is doing quiet work here, framing the room without pulling focus from the wallpaper. Photo By: Brown Avenue Interiors
