You have chosen the shape, now comes the finish. The frame colour sets the entire mood of a mirror, and our two signatures pull in different directions: a warm champagne gold and a graphic matte black. Here is how to decide which is right for your room.

Champagne gold: warm and timeless

Our champagne gold is brushed rather than shiny, so it glows softly instead of sparkling. It adds warmth to a scheme and flatters almost everything around it: creams and beiges, natural wood, marble, greenery and brass or gold hardware. If your home leans soft, neutral, classic or organic, gold will feel like it was always meant to be there. Above a darker kitchen counter or marble vanity, it lifts the whole scheme.

Matte black: graphic and modern

Matte black does the opposite, it draws a crisp, confident line. Against a pale wall it becomes a piece of graphic art; in a darker or more industrial room it adds depth and structure. It pairs naturally with black taps, handles and lighting, and sharpens minimal, contemporary and monochrome schemes.

Matte black reads as graphic and architectural, especially in a moody, darker room.

How to choose

  • Match your metals. Brass, gold or warm-toned taps and handles? Choose gold. Black or dark hardware? Choose matte black.
  • Read the room. Soft, warm, neutral and natural, choose gold. Cool, minimal, monochrome or industrial, choose black.
  • Think about contrast. On a white wall, black makes a bold statement while gold blends in gently. On a darker wall, gold lifts and black recedes.
  • Follow the mood. Gold feels warm and inviting; black feels sharp and contemporary. Pick the feeling you want the room to have.

Can you mix both?

Yes, thoughtfully. A gold mirror in the bedroom and a black one in the hallway is perfectly coherent if each suits its own space. Within a single room, let one finish lead and echo it in nearby accents so the scheme still feels intentional.
