Wall of Mirrors

Soft lights reflected in hazy antique mirrors radiate a seductive beauty that can only be described as sexy. So, boys, take note: Forgo the disco ball, cheepo satin sheets and cheesy pickup lines, and go get yourself some old mirrors and candles instead.

In all seriousness though, I'm all over this look. For a fresh interpretation, you might assemble a mosaic with panels of antique mirrors:

Or you could try a more traditional approach and arrange framed mirrors on a wall alongside paintings:
