Best Bet: Bamboo-Framed Mirror

Admit it: You’ve made do with the same basic $30 Ikea/Target/Walmart mirror for years. Maybe it’s time to upgrade to a version that marries form and function. Oryx and Crake Design’s new round mirror is framed in laser-cut bamboo, stained in a clear lacquer to show off the wood’s grain. The piece offers an easy way to incorporate a natural element into your room or entryway and is considerably more affordable than its gilded counterparts.

Oryx and Crake Design Natural Light Mirror, $54 at SupermarketHQ.com.
