Information on Mirrors

The right mirror can change everything about how a room feels, from the way light moves across the floor to the way you experience the space when you walk into it. A well chosen mirror is both useful and quietly beautiful, doubling the presence of your favourite pieces and opening up corners that once felt a little closed in.

The Early Settler mirrors collection offers a considered range of shapes, frames and finishes for you to explore. It is a chance to think about reflection in a different way, not only as something practical, but as a simple tool for creating atmosphere in your home. When a mirror feels as though it belongs, the room around it feels more complete.

Getting Comfortable With Mirror Options

The joy of browsing mirrors lies in imagining what each one could bring to your space. A large floor mirror in the bedroom can become part of your morning and evening rituals, making the room feel taller and more open. A modest round mirror in a hallway can greet you with soft shape and light as you move from one part of the house to another. A more structured, rectangular design above a fireplace or console can anchor a living room and bring the whole setting together.

As you move through the collection, notice the details. The edge of a timber frame, the subtle shine of metal, the width of a border and the proportion of glass to surround. Curves may echo other rounded shapes in your home, while sharper angles might be just what is needed to bring balance to softer furnishings. There is no right or wrong, only what feels aligned with the way you like your home to look and feel.

Early Settler’s approach means that every mirror has been chosen with real homes in mind. You may find yourself returning to one piece again and again as you imagine it in different rooms. That quiet pull is often the best sign that it is the right one.

How to Use Mirrors to Enhance Your Home

Your new mirror can be a gentle yet powerful design tool when used thoughtfully. Here are a few ideas to guide you:

  • Place mirrors where they can reflect natural light from windows or doors, bringing brightness into parts of the room that would otherwise remain in shadow

  • Choose heights that make sense for your household, so everyone can use and enjoy the mirror comfortably, not just glance at it in passing

  • Consider pairing a mirror with nearby furniture, plants or lamps to create a small scene that feels intentional every time you see it

We also love the idea of using mirrors to frame views, not just walls. Reflecting a garden, a favourite artwork or a cosy corner in another part of the room can add an extra layer of interest to your home. When you think of a mirror as a window that you can place wherever you like, the possibilities open up.
