Antiqued wall mirrors? Good idea / bad idea?

Put all that time and money into lighting. A basement needs a lot of lighting and even more if you are doing a dark color. Not more lighting like more light, but lots of levels and directions and dimmers. Stair lights, sconces, etc etc.

Good recommendation, thanks! I’ll add dimmers, sconces, and overhead lighting.

I don’t dislike that type of mirrors but it needs to come with a whole decor/design plan to look good (think CB2 type of rooms, artful mix of modern and antique).

Which is not what I think you will go for based on the look of the stairs and beige walls.

If this going to be an unpretentious room for play and gym, just do regular big glass mirrors, assume the gym studio look and it can look great (and mirrors are super useful in a gym, you want to see your full body in movement).

BUT as others have said: careful what your expectation s are regarding the rough housing, make sure you have enough space and your room is oriented/ organized in a way that doesn’t make the mirrors a hazard for kids
