Mirrors in every color offer an unexpected way to add a bright spot to walls in any room
Yes, the trends in interiors are full of color right now, but if you are like some of my clients, the word "color" might just frighten you. The easiest way to stay on trend is through your accents, and the biggest color impact can come from an unexpected place: your wall mirror. Below are a few options in every shape and hue, so go ahead and stretch out of that comfort zone with a new mirror! — Julieann from CreateGirl and Jace Interiors

The designer Barclay Butera created a beautiful Asian-inspired mirror with "The Pagoda." A bright blue finish is a nice change from the expected red.

A mirror with an open petal pattern is the perfect way to pull your wall color through. This will take some of the focus off of the sharp red finish.

If a corner's worth of color is all you can stretch, take a look at the Mombo mirror in sky blue from Currey & Company. At 30 inches, it is the perfect size for a little nook or wall collage.

The cutout scroll design on this mirror would work perfectly in many settings: a beach cottage, little girl's room or even in a bathroom. Yes, I could design an entire nursery around this beauty!

lizoregon Wow! Call me a tightwad, but are there really people who would spend $1875 just on a mirror in this economy? I love the colors, but the prices are way out of my "comfort zone." Even the least expensive one at $110 seems kind of steep for the average person. But these are great DIY ideas (she says reaching for a purple paint spray can), so thanks for that. :-)

kennedytarheel I think we could find similar mirrors on craigslist or ebay or a flea market or the thrift store and paint them for a lot less!

nikileap Yikes! This is a pricey list. Thank goodness I can achieve the same look with an old/inexpensive mirror and a can of spray paint.
