The original post came from @themonochromhome, who revealed that they had created the look by spray-painting the mirror in black. 'I'm obsessed with this bargain mirror from @therangeuk it was initially white but I sprayed it black to tie in with the house and I absolutely LOVE it.'
Black industrial-style mirrors have become a coveted style featured in many stylist's homes. Similiar arch versions would usually set you back upwards of £100 at some of the best homeware stores such as Maison du Monde and Wayfair.
