9 great mirrors, from aspirational Adnet to affordable Freedom

Mirrors can completely transform a room — from brightening up dark corners and creating the illusion of space to adding style and drama to a once boring interior. Below we’ve rounded up nine mirrors for every taste and budget.

Arguably the most replicated mirror on the market, the original Adnet Mirror by Gubi is the epitome of luxury. Designed in the ’50s, the distinctive, round leather mirror with equestrian-inspired detailing, comes in three sizes and three strap colours (black, olive or brown). Available from Cult, prices start from $1,020.

Coming in a range of colours and shapes (rectangle, round and geo) the minimalist and modern Flynn Mirror embodies simplicity at its best. Made from wood and featuring a soft painted matte finish it is available from Curious Grace for $385.

Minimal meets industrial with the Max Italian Carrara Marble and Black Powder Coated Steel Floor Mirror ($1,495) from Urban Couture. An absolute showstopper, this piece can also be customised for your home. We love how it’s happy to be casually propped against the wall.

A mirrored work of art, West Elm’s deco-inspired Faceted Mirror ($349) features 10 facets to help reflect more light, making it perfect for creating the illusion of space in smaller rooms, corners and hallways.

Add a modern, chic touch with Country Road’s large rectangular Jani Mirror ($149). Made from solid Ash with a fine bevel front, it’s a practical and stylish way to update any space.

Reminiscent of Moroccan archways, the Moroccan Arch Bone Inlay Mirror has a stunning frame made from ethically sourced, natural camel-bone inlay pieces. Designed by artisans in the magical region of Rajasthan, India, each piece has been handcrafted in a process that can take weeks. On sale for $649 it is available from Zohi Interiors.

Top tips for starting your own online homewares store from those who’ve been there and done it

By Natasha Voudouris

Our journey into the online world began less than 2 years ago, when my mum Debbie and I had the idea of creating a website for her interior styling business. At the time, Mum had just completed a new interior design course and was ready to put her excitement and passion into practice. Up until that point, she had been flying solo as an interior stylist for over 10 years. I found myself drawn to her assignments and our shared love for beautiful furniture and homewares grew deeper.

While we were pouring out ideas for mum’s new website, we talked about one day having an online store. Talking and dreaming soon became planning and organising. Within a few weeks we had our name, Zohi Interiors, a domain and a logo, and chose a web development company. Within a few months, we began importing from India, Morocco and beyond.

We often get comments that our online store appears polished and looks like it is run by a team of 20, not a team of 2 who have never had any web or retail experience! The truth is, creating an online brand isn’t easy, we are constantly growing and learning to keep improving our business. We would love to share a few tips for anyone who is considering launching their business online.
