20 Gold Mirrors Under $250

When we started planning our fireplace addition, I knew I wanted a statement gold mirror for above our new mantle. Large gold mirrors can easily run $500+ (hello, Primrose Mirror) but that would have blown our project budget out of the water. In fact, we did the whole thing (mantel, tile, shelving unit, mirror, trim and paint) for a little over $400!

I had sooo many inspiration photos saved that kept me excited throughout this project. Here are just a few of my favs:

After meticulously searching the internet for an embarrassingly long amount of time, I came up with a long list of potential options and ultimately settled on this brass beauty from Safavieh. I loved how thick the gold border was, and the arched corners on the top were the perfect callback to our dining room archway.

Our house is a constant mix of vintage and modern, and this mirror provided just the right amount of ornate character. I balanced it out with a minimalist shelving unit, contrasting black tile and bright white paint. You can shop our entire project below! We scored a major deal on our vintage mantle for just $100 on Facebook marketplace, but if you want to splurge on a similar option for yourself, I’ve linked a few below!
