5. Cast Bronze Rose Window Wall Mirrors
What This Idea Means
Distressed, outdoor-safe mirrors shaped like Gothic rose windows reflect garden views, double your visual space, and create the illusion of an open window into another realm.
How to Make It
- Framing: Construct a circular frame with Gothic tracery using weather-resistant cast resin, bronze, or treated wood.
- Mirror Glass: Seal shatterproof, antiqued mirror glass with waterproof backing sealant.
- Mounting: Mount flush against flat concrete plaster or brick compound walls.
Tips & Variations
- Lightly age the mirror glass with vinegar-and-bleach techniques for a centuries-old aesthetic.
- Frame the mirror with trailing star jasmine to frame the reflections naturally.
