At this gloomy time of year, we could all do with a little sunshine, but if your next holiday is still a few months away, bring a little burst of light into your home with a fabulous mirror.

Not just a pretty face; decorative mirrors also create the illusion of space and brighten up a room. For a mirror that will make you stop and stare, I love Alexander & Pearl’s selection of opulent home accessories. The fairest of them all in my opinion has to be their Gold Sunburst Mirror. This decadent decorative mirror is not for the faint-hearted but it would make a fabulous focal point on a large wall. Once look at the gold leaf carved mirror’s £795 price tag could leave bargain hunters with cause for reflection though!

If you want a sunburst mirror that won’t cost the sun and the moon, check out Laura Ashley’s Constellation Mirror which has been reduced by 35% to £141.75. Its’ 104cm diameter may be slightly smaller than Alexander & Pearl’s mammoth measurements (height: 145cm and width: 130cm) but with a saving of more than £600, I reckon size doesn’t always matter! Hang your mirror in any room in need of a lift but remember to avoid the bedroom as a mirror hung facing the bed is bad feng shui – and we wouldn’t anything to ruin our beauty sleep!
