There is something so atmospheric about foxed (sometimes called ‘aged’ or ‘distressed’) mirrors. That slight dark, cloudiness can be so flattering, in a way similar to candlelight. Here are a few ways to bring foxed mirrors into your space.

1. As a Kitchen Backsplash

Bring a bit of romanticism into your cooking area, and channel Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère painting, by placing foxed mirrors along the wall as your backsplash.

2. To Brighten a Niche

Cosify an under-valued corner of your home by putting up foxed mirrors on the wall. Add a lamp too, for double the glow.

3. Above Panelling

Instead of painting above your dining room or hallway panelling, why not try a series of beautiful foxed mirrors to create a light-reflecting moment?

Collect foxed mirror panels at flea markets, or second-hand online from places such as Vinterior and Hoarde.
