AW26 Trend: Mirror Mirror

Inspired by old-school Hollywood glam, Mirror Mirror brings high-octane drama and polished luxury to a classic and much-loved trend. It’s a celebration of decadence, from dazzling mirrored surfaces to plush fabrics. So, grab your favourite hot drink, make yourself comfy and take a scroll below as Bana Tabdiliazar, one of our Home Design Studio Stylists, joins us to break down how to create this stunning look at home.

Start with a neutral palette

“Glam is always a delicate balance of excess and elegance, and getting the colour scheme right is key,” explains Bana. “You want it to feel barely-there and understated,” explains Bana. “Use warm yet muted shades to let your mirrored furniture shine.” Pair shimmering neutrals with touches of delicate pinks and soft greens to create a warm and inviting ambience. A brown sofa set against a crisp white backdrop with a green rug sets the tone beautifully, and invites you to slow down and unwind.

Introduce luxurious textures

Inject a little indulgence into the look with plush textiles and materials that create a sense of luxury. “Fur, velvet and chenille invite you to slow down and surround yourself with softness,” says Bana. Accent chairs and scatter cushions are a great way to incorporate these sumptuous textures into your space. Use fur trims, cashmere throws and silk piping to add an extra layer of luxuriousness and elevate your interior into a sophisticated sanctuary worthy of a Parisian penthouse.

Mix old and new together

Classic décor sits alongside contemporary designs, creating an elegant contrast that gives this look its distinctive character. Floor-to-ceiling windows and considered architectural features provide a beautiful backdrop for contemporary dining furniture.
“You don’t need to live in a period property to bring these details to your home,” explains Bana. “Simple DIY updates like decorative panelling and cornicing are great ways to recreate the look of classic grandeur.” Complete the setting with statement glassware and tableware for an effortlessly chic effect.

Amplify light with mirrored furniture

“Mirrored furniture is a wonderful way of turning up the glam without adding too much colour or visual weight,” says Bana. Mirrors and mirrored surfaces reflect light and can help your space feel bigger. “For this look, I love our Francesca range. It’s a stunning mirrored collection with crystal handles and bevelled edges which give it that iconic Hollywood glam effect.” Lighting placement is key. A carefully placed floor lamp or chandelier can maximise the reflected light and bring a little extra sparkle to your space.

Balance shine with softness

The secret to this look is balancing high-shine finishes with soft curves and sumptuous textures. “This contrast between hard surfaces and tactile layers creates depth and interest, keeping the look glamorous without ever feeling overly cold or formal,” says Bana. A beautifully upholstered divan bed offsets the sharp silhouette of a mirrored chest of drawers, while curved accessories and thoughtfully curated finishing touches give your space a boutique feel.
