Mirrors are almost never a bad idea. I mean, who doesn’t love checking themselves out as they’re heading out the door for the day, coming home or just randomly as you go about your business? Mirrors provide depth to a space and can even make a room seem bigger without adding anything more than a picture-frame-sized accessory. Upgrade your mirror from a plain old thing to a chic shelved mirror.
It’s time to take mirrors to the next level and help them achieve a purpose beyond just reflecting back to us what we already know, that we’re fairest of them all. Mirror shelves are both a reflective surface for straightening out that cow lick and making sure you’ve got nothing in your teeth, and a handy surface for storing your keys, wallet or comb. Add one to your front hallway instead of an entryway table or replace your bathroom mirror with something that can hold your toothbrush. Here are the best mirror shelves for your home that’ll add just the right amount of style and function.
