Coral mirrors add glamour to home decor

Nautical, beachy decor is getting its moment in the sun right now, but you can invest in a classic piece that will last well beyond the life of the trend.

Coral mirrors are not only blessed with design longevity they also possess an air of earthy glamour. And because our coral petal-and-branch picks are reproduction reefs, there's no need to sacrifice nature for style.

The oh-so decadent oval Coco Mirror, $2,800 from Made Goods ( www.madegoods.com or 626-333-1177), feels like a sculpture first and a mirror second. Crafted from highly decorative yet seemingly delicate hand-fashioned fiberglass ruffled petals, it captures all the frills of nature. The mirror is finished in a crisp white and leaves are trimmed with a contrasting trace of silver. It measures 36 inches wide by 47 inches high

Also from Made Goods, the round Giselle Mirror is $1,200. This equally graphic version consists of a dense wreath of texture-y mini white coral branches. It measures 24 inches in diameter.

Cool and crisp, these artful coral mirrors will be lookers for years to come.
