You all seemed to love the tiled text staircase I showed you, which makes me think you may warm up to these mirror tiled steps. I think the juxtaposition of the old, wooden banister and the small mirrored tiles makes this look work. But on a modern staircase, it might look tacky and too disco. You must admit the light reflected by the tiles is beautiful, though. It's a good thing the tiles are petite, so you can't actually see your own reflection. What do you say? Yea or nay?

Love this, it would look to contrived on a modern stair case. But here it is unexpected without being over the top. It also adds reflective light in what looks like an otherwise dark stair well.
1I cant say whether or not i like it cause im not sure. the room would have to be decorated so as not to make it look like a disco.
2Yuck. I think it's too reflective. A matte silver tile would have looked better, in my opinion.
3I agree with GlowingMoon. Perhaps some Waterworks Glacier Bay tiles which are less glossy/reflective.
4its interesting, in a good way. never thought of this before!
5I like it.
6I actually really love it. But I think it would only work in a modern beach house or something like that.
7I think this look is great for an upscale night club, but it would also look great in a huge yacht, with a spiral staircase... the staircase would have to be made of glass and silver/chrome. Not in a normal home though... it's too awkward.
8Sorry, Rosera...I completely agree with Casa...it's GORGEOUS as pictured here, but combine it with any MORE glass or anything silver, and it SCREAMS strip club...trrraaasshyyyy.
9love the idea - not sure if it fits those stairs
10I agree briggs. I like the idea, but I think it ruined those stairs. I think these particular stairs could have been enhanced in a way more suited to their style.
Or they simply could have painted them black first, I'm not sure.
11I love the concept... but this is in the wrong house.
12I'm with briggs, kimpossible, and urban chic. I think the idea is nifty, but not with these stairs. I'd love to see these particular stairs paired with a hand-painted tile or something a little more traditional. If the mirrored tile has to stay, I'd paint the stairs and railing - maybe a slick black, white, teal, or a few different colors, even. Or, directly against Casa's advice, maybe cover the entire front of each stair with one piece of mirror. I think it would be fun, and a little less date-able.
13Love... if used in a form of the example (photo) shown. I adore the mix of country and glam details.
14Love it!
15i really like this!
16more much than the tile text
agree it would be nice to see it on a different staircase.
quite boho!
Love it, but not with that wood railing and stuff, maybe with a nice streamlined metal staircase for a cleaner look, or something white maybe, b ut not that wood, that makes it look tacky.
17It looks kind of cool. but I am going ot say I hate it because I have very bad vertigo, and mirrors are reflections can cause me to have dizzy spells. If I were confronted with mirrored steps, even just the fronts, it would be dangerous for me to even consider climbing them.
18I agree - it's funky, but I'm not sure it suits this style of staircase.
19I think it's a nice twist. I used these tiles as a back splash in my kitchen and it's very glam. Dave Navarro used something like this in his kitchen as well.
20I tried to like it, but I guess I just don't. It was a nice idea, but no. Did I mention I hate brown?
21I think, a la patent leather shoes, nice girls don't have mirrored stairs.
22Hm. It's an interesting use of materials, not something you see everywhere. I think previous posters have said it already but, it wouldn't look good just anywhere.
23I think it's in the wrong setting. If it were a more modern staircase, it might look different. Here, you have a traditional staircase. Just looks kind of "OFF."
24SHINY!
