Contemporary Mirrors

4 Living's collection of stylish contemporary mirrors will help you create space you didn't know you had, illuminate rooms with little light and add a modern touch to traditional rooms.

4 Living are proud to offer oriental black lacquer mirrors, oriental white lacquer mirrors, teak mirrors and oak mirrors to suit contemporary, traditional or in-between homes.

The benefits of contemporary mirrors aren't exclusively limited to checking your hair looks good before you go out. They are design statements which can manipulate light, give a sense of space and provide a beautiful focal point. 4 Living's collection of contemporary mirrors vary so much in size, colour and style, simply because no two homes are the same. And 4 Living know from experience that nearly any space can receive a new injection of life with contemporary mirrors. The beauty of a mirror is that it can be whatever you want it to be: it can be the focal point to your living room (in place of a painting for example), it can be a bedroom accessory in which to check your attire or it could be a way of making a room appear larger when space isn't easy to come by. Whichever use you find for contemporary mirrors, they have to be the right ones for you, your house and your room.

The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui focuses on the creation and maintenance of a continuous flow within a room, as well as throughout the home. These traditional values are easy to recognise in 4 Living’s stunning contemporary oriental collection. This collection takes traditional Chinese design features and melds them together with contemporary symmetry and balance.

What better way to create a relaxing sense of space than with a contemporary oriental mirror? The luxurious cream lacquer square mirror features a subtle, yet stylish blend of contemporary and traditional. Traditionally, mirrors have often been placed on walls as ornamental pieces in place of paintings. As a result, mirrors were often made in the portrait shape. However, the symmetry of a square mirror instantly gives the impression of contemporary design and its compact shape allows for greater versatility when it comes to finding a home for the mirror. The white lacquer square contemporary mirrors have a traditional-style grooved lip along the top and stylish contemporary distressed edging. The beautiful cream tone of the white lacquer, coupled with the reflection of the mirror will really help to brighten up a room.

Contemporary mirrors come in all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique benefits. Another beautiful home addition from the contemporary oriental range is the stylish large black mirror. The mirror is a majestic two metres tall (or wide!) and is finished with a luxurious, rich, Chinese black lacquer. A mirror of such size, with such beautiful slick surfaces, is the perfect eye-catching contemporary piece for the modern home. A great way of giving the illusion of space, as well as creating a continuous flow within a room, is to place a long mirror at eye level. Whether you are directly next to it or not, the width of the large black lacquer contemporary oriental mirrors will grab the attention of your peripheral vision, pulling you into the next part of the room.

A two metre mirror isn't just great at eye level. We've all, at one time or another, had to deal with the fact that we can only look at one part of our body at once because our mirror isn't big enough! The beautiful large black lacquer mirror from 4 Living is the perfect full-length mirror, which also adds an elegant, stylish and contemporary style to the bedroom, landing or hallway. This functional use, coupled with its beautiful design, helps to create a stand-out piece in the 4 Living's mirror collection.

As well as contemporary oriental furniture, 4 Living are proud to offer a beautiful selection of contemporary mirrors made from the finest solid wood. Solid wood mirrors are perfect for those looking achieve a relaxing space and for those wanting to complement their existing solid wood furniture. 4 Living are proud to offer a number of solid teak and solid oak mirrors which are the perfect complementary woods so you need not worry about any clashes!

4 Living's two metre large teak mirror is a stunning contemporary piece which will fit effortlessly into a modern environment, as well as creating a stylish juxtaposition with traditional designs. The beauty of the mirror is the large surface of the teak frame. Teak is a tropical hardwood with natural oils, giving it a beautiful nourished grain which is exhibited perfectly in the frame of the mirror.

The light frame solid oak mirror is a versatile, stylish and elegant contemporary solid wood mirror. The slim oak frame really emphasises the mirror, without the 'stripped back' modern appearance of a simple frame-less mirror. Oak is used in a lot of traditional style furniture, so the light frame oak mirror provides a refreshing contemporary design.
