Mirrors are a part of our daily lives. No matter where we go – mirrors are there. They make a room feel bigger and become a focal point, choosing the right style is something that can make or break the overall appearance of a room. It is no surprise then that reclaimed wood mirrors are soaring in popularity.
When you think of a reclaimed wood mirror, the first thing that may come to mind is big thick old salvaged planks making up a heavy and dominating frame. While there are many salvaged wood mirrors like this – they are certainly not the only option available.
These awesome mirrors can come in all shapes and sizes. They can be made from old signs, they can be made from shipping pallets, they can be made from huge oak beams – and they all create very different effects.
You dont have to be stuck with bare wood either! Many reclaimed mirrors can be colorful! The wood that has been recycled can already have pain or stains on it to make it super authentic, or it can be stained to give the old wood a little face lift.
Lets take a look at 29 of the most awesome reclaimed wood mirrors we could find.
