Mirror, Mirror

Sombra MIRROR with gold colour frame, $299, CB2, cb2.ca.

This perfectly imperfect framed mirror circles in on the trend to round shapes, but in its own organic way. We love the rosy ombre tinted glass and gold-tone frame (both finishes are so now) that combine to make this mirror warm and chic.

Console Table

A console table is a welcome addition to any entryway thanks to its narrow profile that helps it fit into tight spots. To choose the best for your space, assess your storage needs. Drawers and shelves are handy if there’s no other spot nearby to stash keys and other small items. If you intend to slide baskets or bins underneath for mittens and slippers, keep the look neat and tidy by ensuring the console has a sufficient depth so that the bins don’t protrude beyond the table.

The Versatile Pouf

In an entry, it’s a perch for donning shoes; in the living room, it’s seating. Tuck it under a table and poof, it disappears!
