Silver is a popular color used in everything from interior design to fashion. Both bright and cool, silver is a more elevated version of gray. It uplifts a space and gives it a more glamorous vibe. 

Silver has the rare distinction of complementing both dark and light color palettes equally. It’s a versatile accent color that combines well with other materials, and it’s the perfect option when you want to create a focal point in a small space, like a foyer or powder room. 

MirrorMate’s finely detailed Bellemeade Vintage Silver Frame instantly dresses up a vanity and becomes the centerpiece of the room, while the sleek and contemporary style of the Highline Slim Satin Nickel Frame adds the perfect finishing touch to a modern space. Both draw the eye in with their shimmering silver finish, yet each one complements the space in its own way. 

The key to decorating with silver is to use it sparingly, since it can easily overpower a space. A little goes a long way when incorporating this eye-catching color into your décor. 

For example, make a dark wall pop with silver wall décor, or upgrade a humdrum builder-grade mirror in the bath with a striking silver bathroom mirror frame.
