You know what they say: Everything old is new again! Design trends tend to come back around every few decades—and there are a number of them that consistently crop up no matter how many years go by. Ahead, we’re diving into a few of our current favorite vintage design trends, and pairing them up the perfect mirror.
STYLE: Mid-Century Modern Simplicity
Mid-century designs emphasize clean lines, geometric shapes, and minimal ornamentation. Form is balanced with function with this home style, resulting in uncomplicated designs that focus on usability. Slim, unfussy mirror frames are the perfect choice to complement a mid-century-inspired space.

STYLE: Ornate Mirror Frames
Embellished, gilded mirrors are having a moment right now—but did they ever really go anywhere? This classic style can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, so the chance that it goes out of style any time soon is slim to none. An ornate mirror frame adds instant polish and a touch of formality to any room, and looks especially regal in a dining room or above a mantel.

STYLE: Art Deco Glamour
Bold, geometric shapes, luxe materials, and decorative details define this design style that reigned supreme in the 1920s and 30s. Even if your entire home doesn’t pay stylistic homage to “The Great Gatsby,” sprinkling in a few art deco details can add a rich, whimsical feeling that adds personality to the space.

STYLE: Cottagecore & Grandmillennial Charm
This trend is less about a certain color palette or particular design detail, and more about creating a collected, layered look. In these types of homes, floral patterns, a range of textures, antique pieces, and intentionally mismatched furniture give a nod to the idea that “home” takes time—and isn’t intended to look like it was all ordered out of a single catalog.

STYLE: Victorian-Inspired Elegance
Elegant, formal, and opulent, Victorian-era design details often include an abundance of pattern, immersive jewel tones, and intricate ornamentation. The mantra is “more is more” for this vintage design approach, from wall coverings and textiles to light fixtures and mirrors.

STYLE: 70s Retro Revival
Are you drawn to a mix of funky shapes, curved lines, wood-grain textures, and bold color palettes? It sounds like the 1970s speak to your home style. If that’s the case, a mod mirror with sleek lines and a timeless finish may complete your look.
