Whether you’re adding a sustainable mirror to your space for functionality or beauty — or perhaps both! — these mindfully crafted mirrors will help you complete your vision.
This guide features everything from rattan wall mirrors to industrial-grade bathroom mirrors to minimalist floor length mirrors.
What to Look for in a Sustainable Mirror:
While quality can vary, mirrors are all made from glass, which is generally regarded as a lower impact material. But there are a few more aspects to consider if you’re looking for an eco-friendly mirror.
1. Look Secondhand. Shopping for pre-loved mirrors keeps existing mirrors out of the landfill while reducing the need for new production. Get tips for shopping secondhand home goods here!
2. Materials. If shopping new, look for mirrors with eco-friendly frames made from materials like bamboo, rattan, or recycled metal.
3. Working Conditions & Craftsmanship. The people aspect of sustainability is just as important to consider. Does the brand publish information about how the mirror was made and if the makers earned fair, living wages? If they worked in safe conditions and had benefits?
