What Colours Go with Mirrored Furniture?
Mirrored furniture has no colour of its own, which is what makes choosing a palette around it both easier and more exacting than people expect. Every surface nearby appears twice, so muted shades such as dove grey, greige, dusky blue, sage and blush read as elegant while bright saturated colours quickly overwhelm. Deep backgrounds including navy, charcoal and forest green work equally well, giving bevelled edges something dark to shine against. This guide explains why reflection changes the usual colour rules, sets out the soft neutral, muted cool and dramatic dark approaches in turn, and identifies the shades and patterns to treat with caution. It covers warm accents and metal finishes that take the chill out of glass, room by room placement advice for bedrooms, hallways and sitting rooms, and the matt textures that keep a mirrored scheme from feeling brittle. It also explains how lighting and the view opposite a reflective piece can change a scheme completely....
