Classic & Modern Gold Mirrors

This post contains affiliate links, see our full disclosure policy here. Thank you for helping support our blog.

Ever since I created this pretty holiday tablescape I have been smitten with gold accents. It’s a wildly popular trend right now, popping up in almost every new kitchen and bathroom in some form or another. But just like any trend, you need to be smart about how you embrace it.

Adding subtle touches of the metal throughout your home in accents that are inexpensive and can easily be changed once the trend has passed or you tire of it is best. I’ve recently added these pretty gold desk lamps to our kitchen, a modern gold-framed mirror in our dining room and set a pretty spring tablescape using my favorite gold candlesticks.

Round

I simply love the warmth it brings, and I think it adds a feminine, but modern touch to any space.

Rectangle

And although I love gold in all of its forms, one of my favorite ways to incorporate it into our home is with mirrors. Earlier this year we hung a large round mirror with a gold frame above our dining room sideboard, and I think it looks right at home. The secret to avoiding a stuffy or dated look with gold mirrors is in the size of the frame…

The skinnier the better!

Hanging


A simple, thin frame on a mirror lends to it a classic, but modern feel. It isn’t overly ornate or fussy, but perfect in its simplicity.

Square

I have big plans for these pretty little mirrors in our home and I can’t wait to start shopping around to find the perfect mirror for our next project.

Oval

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite gold-framed mirrors in some of the most popular shapes and styles.

Do you have a favorite?

Am I the only one that feels like our home is neve Am I the only one that feels like our home is never really finished, even after a big renovation? 🙋🏻‍♀️We shared our finished renovation a few months ago but we knew there would still be additions to make in the weeks and months ahead. I've added a few new pieces of decor and we installed a custom roman shade, but the biggest change we made was replacing our kitchen appliances. It's a big investment, but one that is worth it.We partnered with our friends at @frigidairecanada to update our existing appliances and today we are sharing all about it, from why we chose @frigidairecanada appliances again to the favourite features we're swooning over.
