Modern Mirrors

4 Living's beautiful collection of modern mirrors provide a stylish and contemporary method of brightening up a room and creating a sense of space.

Mirrors can be used to get ready in the morning, a tool with which to open up a room and make it appear larger, or simply a decorative wall feature. Whichever use you find, 4 Living are confident that their collection of elegant modern mirrors will cater to your needs.

4 Living's collection of modern mirrors feature black lacquer contemporary oriental mirrors, white lacquer contemporary oriental mirrors, solid oak mirrors and solid teak mirrors in a variety of shapes and sizes. Not every home is the same, which is why 4 Living have put together such a varied and versatile collection of modern mirrors. When selecting the perfect mirror for your home, you must first take a number of factors into account: Is the mirror's purpose to spread light around a room? If so, it should be placed in a central position utilising all of the surrounding light. What style of furniture is already in the room? Will the style of the mirror complement or clash? Do you want to wall mount your mirror or have it gently leant against a wall? Do you want to use it as a dressing mirror? All of these are equally important when selecting the perfect mirror for your home.

4 Living are proud to offer beautiful modern mirrors in their contemporary oriental range. The term 'contemporary oriental' refers to 4 Living's unique blend of traditional Chinese design and contemporary style. In the oriental square mirror, the traditional Chinese influence is apparent in the stylish grooved lip, which runs along the top. The smooth surfaces, symmetry and beautiful golden distressed edging provide a refreshing contemporary juxtaposition. The square modern mirrors are extremely popular pieces which look fantastic in the either luxurious black lacquer or subtle, smooth cream lacquer.

The traditional Chinese art of Feng Shui focuses of creating balance, harmony and a healthy flow of light and space within a room and throughout the home. A large black lacquer contemporary oriental mirror is the perfect modern mirror with which to create a light and flowing living space. The size and shape of the mirror (200x80cm) enable you to hang the mirror on the wall landscape at eye level or lean it against the wall in portrait. A wide mirror placed in landscape, at eye level, is a fantastic way of creating the illusion of space. The width of the mirror will engage your peripheral vision and pull it into another part of the room. Placed portrait on the floor, it makes a perfect dressing mirror for the bedroom or hallway, as well as a beautiful contemporary addition to a modern living room. Unlike the square mirror, the large mirror has generous, smooth surfaces, which really exhibit the beauty of the luxurious oriental black lacquer.

The perfect addition to 4 Living's modern oriental mirrors is a stylish contemporary console table. The console table is available in both luxurious black and subtle cream lacquer, has beautiful rectangular brass handles, two drawers and golden distressed edging. The mirror looks great on top of the console table, creating a stylish oriental dressing table for the bedroom. The oriental console-modern mirror combination can also be a stylish occasional piece for the hallway, landing or living room. The beauty of the oriental console table and mirror is that it is an extremely compact set; meaning you can utilise the space you have to great effect. The mirror and console table in white will further emphasise a sense of space as light will bounce of the white lacquer, as well as the mirror.

4 Living are also proud to offer a beautiful selection of high quality solid wood framed modern mirrors. A number of styles in both oak and teak will enable you to add a natural touch to your home. The beauty of both oak and teak is that their soft grains will not clash with other wood tones, but complement them and add to the natural atmosphere of the room.

Teak is a tropical hardwood, often used for outdoor furniture due to its resilient natural oils. An oiled finish provides teak with a wonderfully nourished, healthy and rich grain; which is shown off in the beautiful large teak mirror. The 200x90cm mirror is a large mirror but is softened by the natural grain of the teak. The large wooden frame really shows off the rich tone of the grain.

The soft tone of oak, like the oriental white lacquer, will help to brighten up a room and create a bright, airy and natural living space. The light frame oak mirror is the perfect compact and versatile modern mirror. The simple design, light grain and compact size mean it will look great anywhere in the home.
