There are innumerable classifications of mirrored furniture designs; so much so that choosing which best suits the general atmosphere of your home can be quite confusing. Moreover, the problem becomes even more noticeable when one attempts to shop online. Hence, this article will talk about those classifications so that we, the average consumer, will be guided accordingly.
From experience, there are so many classifications that it isn’t reasonable to discuss them one by one. Instead, mirrored furniture may be loosely grouped into three eras – classical, wartime, and modern. We will be discussing each of them in detail.
Classical furniture is characterized by smooth flowing curves, pastel colors, and a general luxurious air around them. Renaissance, Elizabethan, and Medieval furniture are a perfect examples for this category. Just upon looking at one of these, one can readily observe the aristocracy that these pieces exude. This is most noticeable on the areas that surround the reflecting piece, which is often bordered with numerous fluid lines and figures that originate from nature.
Wartime furniture are pieces whose inspiration came from art movements that arose in the years surrounding the world wars. Of all these movements, it can be said that Art Deco is the most influential. Pieces from this era are usually made from industrial materials, reflecting the increasing availability of such materials at the time. Further more, this classification also includes furniture from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, whose designs are somewhat flamboyant albeit to a much lesser extent that classical furniture.
Lastly, modern furniture is best described as predominantly functional and moderately aesthetic. This fact stems from the increasing practicality of people, where most are always on the go, and where living space is severely limited. This same fact has brought about the emergence of furniture design that seamlessly blends aesthetics with extreme moderation. One good example for this era is minimalist furniture, where function precedes fashion, like a meticulously polished stainless steel cabinet that doubles as a mirror.
Having a certain degree of expertise is necessary in ensuring that the overall design of one’s interiors will be in perfect harmony. However, this harmony is essential not for the sake of conformity. Instead, it is for a more soothing atmosphere for the home.
