How to Decorate a Mirrored Table

Many types of tables can have a mirrored surface and will add visual interest to any room. Decorating a mirrored table, however, can be a challenge, as you don't want to completely cover the mirrored top or display items that will create an unattractive reflection. With a careful choice of items and their placement, you can make the most of a mirrored table. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Display candles on the mirrored table. Create arrangements of pillar candles and tea lights that sit directly on the surface of the table or arrange them on a glass or crystal tray. Place tapered candles in decorative candelabras or candlesticks and set them on the table. When illuminated, the light from the candles will bounce off the mirrored top table, adding light and romance to the space.

2

Set cut-crystal figurines, bowls or vases on the table. When the light in the room hits the cut crystal, it will refract and bounce off the mirrored surface.

3

Place a small floral arrangement on the table. Set the flowers in a decorative glass, crystal, porcelain or sterling silver vase. The mirror will allow you to see the underside of the flowers, creating the impression of multiple blooms.
