Five Homes with Unexpected Mirror Details Worth Reflecting On

By Cristyn Ong

Mirrors aren’t just for last looks and outfit checks—they’re one of the most versatile tools in a designer’s playbook. But in these listings, you won’t find them simply hanging in a hallway or above a bathroom sink. From a kitchen island wrapped in reflective panels to a fireplace framed entirely in antiqued mirror, these spaces feature mirror details in bold, surprising, and seriously stylish ways.


These five Brown Harris Stevens listings prove that when it comes to great design, a little reflection can go a long way.
