Antique mirror is the right call when you want a space to feel established, layered, or a little imperfect in a good way — it's a favorite for accent walls, bar backs, and vintage-inspired interiors. Colored mirror works best when you want to warm up a room or add subtle contrast without introducing a bold pattern; bronze and smoke tones in particular read as upscale and pair well with brass or black fixtures. We personally love a pink mirror or the way a blue mirror can add depth to a table top or backsplash. The choice usually comes down to whether you want the mirror to feel aged, retro, modern, or sleek and tinted.
