If you’re putting the finishing touches to your luxury residence, it might be prudent to include some high quality mirrors about the place.
Something like these tasteful 19th century styled mirrors can often provide the feeling of opulence that might otherwise be lacking.

The ‘Eccentricity’ candle is the result of a recent partnership between fashion brand English Eccentrics and the St Eval Candle Company.
It’s a London-inspired candle; the scent is designed to evoke thoughts of riding through Hyde Park on a spring morning!
In fact, the striking black imagery, typical of English Eccentrics’ design and colour ethos, Eccentricity has been created to reflect High Society London. Its scent is inspired by a morning horse and carriage ride through London’s Hyde Park, represented with signature fragrances of bergamot, petitgrain, herbs mixed with saddlery leather.
Further designs are due to launch later in 2008.
The candle has a RRP of £25 and is available here.
This luxurious kitchen from Quantum, encapsulates everything that a sleek contemporary design should be.
The stunning timber finish is derived from high gloss spray lacquered macassar veneer which is individually selected by Quantum in consultation with each customer.
The sleek lines are achieved through an expertly book matched veneer which flows seamlessly around the whole kitchen. The appliances are all stainless steel and the sink was specially molded from 5mm thick stainless steel, giving a clean professional finish.
Prices for this particular luxury kitchen design start from around £20,000 ($40,000).
Spanish designer Jaume Tresserra has come up with a delightful Carlton House Butterfly table. Perfectly designed for storing your correspondence, car keys and note pads.
The price tag of £11,500 ($23,000) is merited by the quality of the workmanship. The design is based on the traditional Carlton House desk, commissioned by the Prince of Wales in the late 18th century and named after the Prince Regent’s London residence - Carlton House.
The table can be made to order in light or dark walnut and includes two spectacular drop lids. The curved wings can be propped up using silver plated legs, which are designed to mimic butterfly antennae. Each desk can take up to ten weeks to craft.
Jaume Tresserra made his name when his Casablanca armchair appeared in the original Tim Burton Batman movie. He is now widely regarded as one of the world’s most sought after interior designers. If you’re looking to book him in for an interior revamp - bear in mind you probably won’t get much change out of £100,000 ($200,000).
