Mirrored furniture can add a touch of glamour to any room, but the perfect piece can be hard to track down. Here, our favorite places to find the glossy furniture.Mirrored furniture is not a new furniture concept. In fact, it may even date back to the 12th century. But in the last 10 years, mirrored furniture has come back in a big way. Maybe it's because many of us are moving into smaller spaces, and we're looking to make these spaces appear larger. Or maybe it's because it adds just the right amount of glamour and elegance to an otherwise plain room.
Where do you go for the best mirrored furniture? Here are a few sources to get your reflective motor running.
The Source
Glam Furniture
The Goods
Glam Furniture has a huge selection of mirrored furnishings, from chests to armoires and stools. You can find just about anything at Glam, and if they don't have it, I bet they can get it for you. Pieces range in price from about $325 to over $3,000, depending on a piece's size and style. I particularly like the selection of chests with black and brown trim details like the Sabrina Three Drawer Chest and Tanner Mirrored Chest (pictured above).
The Secret
Boasting the title of the third largest mirrored furniture dealer in the US, Glam Furniture started out as the small dream of Kelly Wells. Wells had a passion for glamorous furnishings and a desire to help others find a good selection, so she started the company. Pieces of furniture from Glam have been featured on Season 7 of Extreme Makeover - Home Edition and The Good Wife.
Things to Know
Alabama residents can visit the Glam Furniture showroom to check out the reflective retailer's goods in person.

Horchow
The Goods
Beautiful antique and modern mirrored furnishings for any decor. Ranging in price from $399 to over $5,500, the selection runs the gamut when it comes to style and budget. If you have some cash to spend, the John-Richard furniture collection is dazzling, especially the brand new Gatsby chest ($4329).
The Secret
Horchow isn't a secret. In fact, in 1988 Horchow became a part of the Neiman Marcus Group. However, as one of the largest retailers of mirrored furniture on the Internet, you can't talk about mirrored furniture and not mention Horchow.
Things to Know
Horchow also offers a program to the trade, and you can use your Neiman Marcus credit card for purchases. If you want to see some Horchow pieces in person, select Neiman Marcus stores have Horchow furniture showrooms.

Shades of Light
The Goods
Shades of Light has a nice selection of traditional mirrored furniture, mostly antique-looking chests, stools and console tables. Mirrored items are priced from $400 to $2,500, similar in price point to the other sources. The traditional and regal gold mirrored collection is truly a spectacular combination of gold and silver in harmony.
The Secret
Shades of Light has been in operation since 1986, offering a variety of high-quality lighting, rugs and furniture.
Things to Know
Like Horchow, you can request a catalog or shop from home from your computer. They also have an email list you can sign up for to get notified of sales and new products. Shades of Light has two retail locations in Richmond, VA and Virginia Beach. They also have an outlet location in Richmond.
